The lovely liberal in CUPID's wake TUESDAY

Welcome Spring with a dose of CUPID! I really appreciate this new ABC show...I think it's a lovely tribute to my favorite city in the world, NEW YORK CITY, and Bobby Cannavale & Sarah Paulson are fun to watch together. Plus the first two episodes have made me cry. They're about love!

The third episode, "The Great Right Hope" airs this Tuesday 4/14 at 10pm Eastern on ABC-TV. I play a left-wing producer for public television...

Aside from yours truly, other interesting actors in this episode are Anna Chlumsky (My Girl), Lee Tergesen (Oz), and Kari Swenson Riely & David Lavine from "Life in Flight" (the film I shot with Patrick Wilson).

I heart CUPID

I have an awesome political line in the new Rob Thomas show CUPID ... I can't tell you what it is because I signed a non-disclosure agreement ... but I can say that this adorable show has been shooting in Queens at a great studio near Hell Gate Bridge. CUPID stars bilingual actor Bobby Cannavale who is so amazing in The Station Agent that I was giddy when I found out I got the role of "Skyler" on the ABC show.

The whole time I was there I had "Heart of Mine" by Lucky Ghost stuck in my head ... If ever I meet Cupid...

SUDAFED!

One great thing about having a cold on an audition, is that if it's for cold medicine, there's a good chance I'll get it. After my crappy cold last week, I booked a national Sudafed commercial, which shoots in a few days!

Now that I'm over my cold, I'll have to really act =)

I love IKEA and IKEA loves me

Check out my new IKEA commercials at:

The first one features Andre Rodriguez, who also happened to be in the Queens Theatre in the Park production of Anna in the Tropics I did a while back. It was so awesome to work with him again.

For the second commercial I got to work with two amazing kids. The fighting you see on the couch lasted for hours, as we did takes from different angles. Their energy was limitless.

For several takes the director asked me to say anything I wanted (instead of the translation of "Someone has to go to their room"), so I said "Los voy a mandar a la porra" -- it's something a lot of Latin American parents say when you're in trouble. One of the production guys laughed so hard and called his dad to ask what it was. Apparently it's like the equivalent of sending you to "Siberia"...

Enjoy!

helping out the bridezillas of the world

Even though the average cost of an American wedding starts at about $20,000, I just recorded eight TV VO spots for cable & phone packages* offering brides the chance to save a little cash every month. You could take the money you save and order some bridal magazines, purchase gas to go shopping, and/or get some fun books like Wedding Goddess or One Perfect Day. But I digress. If you want to check out a few of the commercials that feature mi voz en espanol, one can be found here, and another here. Or you can just visit my website at www.susanstewartnyc.com and click on Voiceover, then Bridezillas!


*I actually have the package and you really do save a lot on phone bills!
