Since becoming a household name on ‘Curb’, Susie has branched out into numerous other TV projects including recurring roles in “Law and Order: SVU,” “Those Who Can’t,” “Bless This Mess” and most recently the critically acclaimed HBO series “Hacks,” Susie also received a Critic’s Choice Award nomination for her recurring role as Ilana Glazer’s mother on the hit Comedy Central series “Broad City” – which Entertainment Weekly cited as “one of the best choice decisions in TV history.”

The Los Angeles Times calls Susie, “The most lyrical purveyor of profanity on television. She makes the entire cast of The Sopranos look like rank amateurs. It really is a gift.” The New York Times said Susie Greene is “one of the most vivid characters in the show, whose off-color tantrums have become an audience favorite the way Kramer’s clumsy entrances once were.”
