Margo Martindale Might Hug You, Or Murder You

Who’s Suddenly Everywhere? Margo Martindale.

You Might Know Her From: Dozens of movie roles; A Gifted Man; her Emmy-winning performance as Mags Bennett in the second season of Justified.

First Location Of Her Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As Nell Sawyer, a badass nurse threatening to call a strike of the union she leads, on Suits.

Next Location Of Her Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As Broadway patroness Miriam Abramson in the second-season premiere of Smash.

Latest Location Of Her Recent Campaign To Be Suddenly Everywhere: As "Claudia," a KGB operative who relays assignments to Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Philip (Matthew Rhys), in last night's episode of The Americans, and never arouses the slightest suspicion because anyone would assume she's his adorable mom.

Where We Propose She Could Next Be Suddenly Everywhere: The next place she will be is New Girl, playing mother to Nick (Jake Johnson) -- which I hope means we'll eventually get to see her opposite Dennis Farina as Nick's dad. She'll also star in Masters Of Sex on Showtime next month, and on the apparently unkillable Dexter next season. There aren't many amazing shows left that she hasn't dominated already, so let's give her a break with a guest shot on Portlandia, reading an edifying feminist essay at Women And Women First and making Candace (Fred Armisen) and Toni (Carrie Brownstein) feel jealous and resentful.
