Progressive sure knows how to make an impact when it comes to their commercials. They can pack a lot of information into a 30-second television spot, and they can make it funny and memorable while doing it. Take, for example, Flo from the Progressive commercials. There is little doubt that people don't know who she is. She is recognizable and has an outgoing personality on-screen. She probably turned many a customer towards Progressive as an insurance company, along with her handy "Name Your Price" tool.

Most well known for her role as 'Flo' in the Progressive television commercials, her real name is Stephanie Courtney. She began working for Progressive as 'Flo' since 2008, and has appeared in over 100 commercials since beginning her relationship with them. The 50-year-old, yes, we said 50, studied acting at The Neighborhood Playhouse. She has had various film roles and television roles. But there is no doubt that if you saw her on the street, her role as "Flo" will immediately come to mind.

Courtney's net worth is approximately $6 million. In 2004, she joined the improvisational sketch comedy group, "The Groundlings." It was there that she met her husband Scott Kolanach, whom she married in 2008, the year her career took off as the famous face of 'Flo.' So what about her trusty sidekick on the Progressive commercials, Jamie? Nowadays one can't be seen without the other in a commercial for the insurance company. So who is on the other side of the dynamic duo?

Jamie's real name is Jim Cashman. Before appearing in Progressive commercials as Jamie, he has had roles on such shows as "Grey's Anatomy," "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia," and "Just Shoot Me!" He is originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. He has also appeared in the 2016 film, "The Boss." He is married to Michelle Noh, who also appeared on "Grey's Anatomy," three years before Cashman did. They have been married since 2003. In addition to acting, he also has taken on other projects.

Cashman, in addition to playing Flo's right-hand man who often brings another level of humor to the Progressive commercials, has worked and continues to work on other projects besides acting. He has previously written for television shows like "Benched," "Saturday Night Live," and "The Looney Tunes Show." He has directed a short called, "Dinner Conversation," and wrote and co-executive produced the TV movie, "Amy’s Brother." It looks like Cashman pulls in around $500,000 per year from his stint on the Progressive Commercials.

Cashman's approximate net worth is $2 million. Progressive insurance does live up to their name, if for nothing but their commercials alone. They are unique and they definitely stand out amongst the crowd of other insurance commercials. With memorable characters and funny skits and sketches, not to mention hilarious social media accounts, there is no denying that when insurance comes to mind, so does "Flo" and "Jamie." Oh, and we definitely cannot forget the infamous "Name Your Price Tool." We can't forget that.
