Alex Borstein

Alex Borstein is the rare performer who has built two distinct legacies at once. As the voice of Lois Griffin she became a household sound, and as Susie Myerson she earned two Emmys for a character who steals scenes without ever begging for the spotlight. What strikes me is her instinct for playing tough, complicated women who are funny precisely because they're real. She doesn't soften herself to be likable. I'd argue she's one of the most reliable supporting actors working, the kind who makes everyone around her look better while quietly walking off with the show.
