It’s bad to think about the cast of The wonderful woman Maisel without thinking about the talented Alex Borstein. Playing the small but powerful Susie Myerson, Borstein brings both humor and madness to the show. Susie is a perfect counterweight to Midge’s naivety and extreme weariness. It is the brash manager with the heart of gold that gives the show depth. While it’s clear that Borstein is a perfect casting, she had no intention of re-performing before landing her role. The wonderful woman Maisel.
Like most actors, Borstein still has the resume. Before she won an Emmy for her role in The wonderful woman Maisel, she did everything from staring The Lizzie McGuire film to express Lois Griffin in Family man. But, one role that Borstein was special about was Dawn Forchette in the dark comedy Keep going, which aired on HBO.
Alex Borstein had plans to perform before he was cast in ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ‘
However Keep going was certainly an offbeat show, it has a solid audience, and fans were devastated when it was canceled after only three short seasons. But, the cast was even more overwhelmed than fans. Borstein took the news particularly hard. In fact, she was totally on the verge of leaving business altogether. “When Keep going ended and it broke my heart, I thought, ‘I will do nothing else.’ Borstein revealed in an interview with Greed. “I picked up I moved to Europe,” the star of The wonderful woman Maisel divided.

However, Borstein’s retirement from acting was very short. Immediately after living in Europe, she received a call from Amy Sherman-Palladino, who is the creator of The wonderful. Mrs. Maisel. She had written the part of Susie with a view to Borstein and wanted her to audition for the part. Borstein knew Sherman-Palladino was a brilliant writer from when she was cast Gilmore Girls like the original Sookie before conflict plans got in the way. Borstein was hesitant to read the role herself because she knew it would be great.
How Borstein became Susie Myerson
‘Amy [Sherman-Palladino] said: ‘I have this thing, I know this will complicate your life because it will be in New York. Will you read it? ‘I wrote it with you in mind,’ ‘Borstein reminded him of Sherman-Palladino who sent her the script The wonderful woman Maisel. “Some of me didn’t even want to read it because I knew that if I read it, I would do it. I read it and of course, I loved it and I texted her, ‘Fu * k you, now what do I do?’ I could not say no, because I do not know if such a thing will ever happen again, ‘recalled the actor.
But just because Susie’s role was written for Borstein did not mean that she was guaranteed a place in the cast of The wonderful woman Maisel. In fact, Borstein had previously managed to land a role that Sherman-Palladino wrote for someone else.

‘It’s funny, when I auditioned for Gilmore Girls, I played Sookie,’ Borstein recalled. ‘Amy [Sherman-Palladino] had written this to someone else in advance, and when it came to testing in the pilot, she quarreled with me. It does not necessarily mean that you get the part when she writes it for you. You never know, ” The wonderful woman Maisel star divided. Clearly, things worked out for the best with Borstein’s audition. We could not really imagine anyone else playing Susie Myerson.
