Amy Landecker (born September 30, 1969) is an American film, stage and television actress.[2]
Life and career
Landecker was born in Chicago, Illinois. She is the daughter of Chicago radio personality John Records Landecker, and the great-granddaughter, on her mother's side, of lawyer Joseph N. Welch.
Early in her career, Landecker primarily focused on stage work and did not move to Los Angeles until she was 38.[3] Since then she has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including a supporting role as Mrs. Samsky in the Academy Award "Best Picture" nominated film A Serious Man, directed by the Coen brothers.[4] That performance received praise from many professional film critics, including Roger Ebert, who wrote, "Amy Landecker, too, is perfect as Mrs. Samsky. She makes the character sexy in a strictly logical sense, but any prudent man would know on first sight to stay clear".[5]
In 2011, Landecker was also a regular cast member of The Paul Reiser Show on NBC, playing Paul Reiser's wife, Claire.[6] On television, she has guest-starred on include Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, NCIS, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Revenge and of many more series.
