"It's so much fun to play horrible people": The incredible Lisa Linke on Love, Dog Moms, and fangirling on set

Lisa Linke speaks to Meaww about her incredible journey from a comedian to an actress who uses her sense of humor to satirize everything that goes wrong in society

Few people are as busy as Lisa Linke. The actor, writer and improviser, is best known for her role on Successful People, a comedy series about a songwriting duo struggling to make it big while surrounded by a world full of successful people. She plays Kimberly Hawkes, the former high school classmate of the lead character, who attempts to help him jumpstart his career (the show is streaming now on Amazon Prime). That's not all she has her hands full with. She is also the creator of the web series Dog Moms, a parody of the Lifetime series Dance Moms. In the series, she plays the equivalent of Abby Lee 'Waggy Lee'.
