Olivia Colman has two streaming hits right now, The Lost Daughter and Landscapers, but I have worshipped this woman since the early '00s when she was improvising as a chain-smoking housewife with Martin Freeman on Bruiser and cracking me up as the alcoholic love interest on Peep Show. She's wickedly funny on talk shows, she's won a bunch of awards, and she legit seems like a down-to-earth person.
Here are 20 reasons why she's my favorite.
1.Her professional acting debut on Bruisers.
2.Her performance as Sophie on Peep Show.
3.Her small role as a reporter in The Office (UK).
4.She's an Oscar winner for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite.
5.She worked as a temp, a typist, and a cleaner before fame.
6.She made fun of Jack Whitehall on The Graham Norton Show.
