Judy Greer, Hollywood’s Favorite Co-Star, Turns Filmmaker

She may not be the top billed star, but if I see that she is in a film, I am almost always going to give it a chance. She has a natural comedic timing, and it does not surprise me to find out that she is a hard worker.

I can name a Judy Greer male counterpart. How about Dallas Roberts? His scene with Joaquin Phoenix discovering Johnny Cash in the recording studio in “Walk the Line” was very memorable. And he shows up everywhere.

Judy Greer is one of the best in the business, no doubt about it, but how can you write about her without mentioning Cheryl Tunt?

Say goodbye to THESE!

Ms. Greer is brilliant in every part, big or small. She is one of those rare talents capable of creating, from the shallow sketches of a minor player, a memorable performance that resonates. She imparts such intelligence and craft to the characters she plays, and adds gravitas to the finished product. She reminds me of Allison Janney; an actor who for years I thought was underrated and under-utilized, despite her exceptional talents. I am tickled that is no longer the case for Ms. Janney. I hope Ms Greer’s chance to command a greater share of lines in the script is soon to come. It is well-earned. I think her male equivalent is Sam Rockwell, who makes so much more of every role he gets, much in the same intelligent fashion as Ms Greer. Fortunately for him, those performances have gradually won him higher billing and more prominent roles.

Loved her since "The Hebrew Hammer." And let's not forget "Arrested Development"! Two great roles--thankfully, neither were the relatable best friend or kitchen-wife.

I've been in love with Judy Greer since season one, episode one of "Archer"

I am a big fan of Ms. Greer’s. This article helped me understand some of the reasons I enjoy her work so much. I am looking forward to seeing if I can discern any of those qualities from her work as a director, and look forward to her future projects. If I saw her at the DMV, I would come right up to her and say, “Well done!”

Is Ms. Ryzik's piece supposed to make up for the fact that The Times hasn't sent any of its roughly 212 movie reviewers out to report on the film she directed (it's currently showing at Manhattan's Cinema Village venue)? Couldn't the paper's movie editor have shown enough respect for Ms. Greer to afford her the cordiality of an actual review?

Judy Greer is fantastic in everything I’ve ever seen her in. Will be excited to see her film!

It is such a satisfaction to be able to say I've never heard of her.

The best actress in the U.S. was DOES NOT have a regular role. But actually that's probably good. Regular roles can make the actor a lot of money (like "The Big Bang", on which Greer appeared). But long regular roles KILL the show (I haven't watched "The Big Bang" for years because the show went stupid many years ago). Good luck, Judy! I'll definitely keep an eye out for your work!

One of my favorite actors. She always connects with her co-stars and the audience.

This woman is just so good. I loved her in a two part episode of Two and a Half Men, when Charley fell for her when she was visiting for a wedding. Her best line was when Charley says he'd like to date her, after sleeping with her. She says: I don't think my fiancee would like that.

If someone in Hollywood ever has the brilliant idea of revisiting the classic "Thin Man" comedic/noir movie series from the 30's/40's I think Ms. Greer would more than do justice to the role of Nora Charles played by Myrna Loy in the original - BTW, perhaps she could even direct it.
