"People were ready to laugh": "Fargo's" Allison Tolman on why "St. Denis Medical" is so appealing

Salon  

If, instead of becoming an actor, Allison Tolman had become a nurse, you would have wanted her to be your nurse. As Alex on NBC's new hit mockumentary sitcom "St. Denis Medical," the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated performer plays a dedicated and conscience-driven health care worker. "As funny as the cast is and as varied as their backgrounds are, we don't improvise off-subject and waste everyone's time." "There's very little snark," Tolman says, "Every episode is funny, but it also has these tender, sweet human moments." It's super bizarre when you get the role, and then that's what it says on your trailer, like, "Fat woman in theater."
