How Long Has Jamie Been with Progressive?
Stephanie Courtney – Flo
Stephanie Courtney plays Flo, the upbeat Progressive employee who has become one of the most recognizable commercial characters in American advertising.
Courtney first began playing Flo in 2008. Her bright white uniform, red lipstick, headband and relentlessly enthusiastic personality helped turn what could have been a standard insurance spokesperson into a long-running fictional character.
Progressive has since placed Flo in dozens of different situations, often alongside Jamie, Mara and other fictional employees.
Actor: Stephanie Courtney
Character: Flo
First Appearance: 2008
Brand: Progressive Insurance
Known For: High-energy delivery, friendliness and quirky comedy
Acting Breakdown
Courtney’s performance is bigger and more energetic than many traditional spokesperson roles, but she maintains enough consistency that Flo feels like the same person across dozens of different situations.
That consistency is a major reason the character has lasted for so long.

Jim Cashman – Jamie
Jim Cashman plays Jamie, Flo’s longtime Progressive co-worker and one of the most familiar members of the company’s advertising ensemble.
Jamie’s personality differs considerably from Flo’s. While Flo is relentlessly enthusiastic, Jamie is often awkward, oddly confident and slightly unpredictable.
That contrast gives Progressive another comic voice without abandoning the larger employee universe.
Cashman appears in the 2026 commercial “Future Who”, where Jamie makes another appearance in a campaign built around thinking ahead.
Acting Breakdown
Cashman frequently uses understated reactions and awkward timing rather than broad physical comedy. His performance works especially well opposite Courtney because Jamie rarely tries to match Flo’s energy.

Bill Glass – Dr. Rick
Bill Glass plays Dr. Rick, Progressive’s fictional “Parenta-Life Coach.”
Dr. Rick helps new homeowners stop themselves from slowly adopting the habits of their parents.
The campaign, often referred to as Parentamorphosis, turns ordinary behaviors into comedy: saving unnecessary cords, commenting on strangers, overplanning simple outings or offering unsolicited advice.
Glass plays Dr. Rick with a calm, slightly exasperated delivery that makes him feel like a real counselor dealing with a very unusual problem.
Recent Dr. Rick Commercials
The Plan – Dr. Rick attempts to stop young homeowners from overplanning every detail of an outing.
Rules – Bill Glass returns as Dr. Rick in another observational comedy spot about parent-like behavior.
Other Dr. Rick commercials include Magnet, Scared Straight, Valet, Let It Out and Rideshare.
Acting Breakdown
Bill Glass rarely raises his voice or exaggerates the comedy. Dr. Rick works because Glass treats the ridiculous problem of “turning into your parents” as though it were a legitimate condition requiring professional guidance.

Natalie Palamides – Mara
Natalie Palamides plays Mara, another member of Progressive’s recurring fictional employee cast.
Mara’s sarcastic, dry delivery provides a different comic energy from Flo and Jamie.

The contrast helps Progressive maintain variety while using the same basic employee ensemble.

Paul Mabon – Alan
Paul Mabon plays Alan, another recurring Progressive employee.
Although Alan is not as heavily promoted as Flo or Jamie, his appearances help make the fictional Progressive workplace feel like a larger ensemble rather than a two-character campaign.
Supporting performers such as Mabon are an important part of Progressive’s advertising strategy because familiar secondary characters make new commercials feel connected to earlier ones.

Terrence Terrell – Motaur
Terrence Terrell plays Motaur, one of Progressive’s strangest recurring commercial characters.
Motaur is portrayed as a hybrid between a man and a motorcycle.
The intentionally absurd concept allows Progressive to target motorcycle insurance while maintaining the company’s broader comedy-first advertising identity.
Terrell’s performance works because the character behaves as though being half-human and half-motorcycle is completely ordinary.
