Ask anyone and they're going to likely have a story about 2020 that tops certainly one of their hardest years. There has been so much we now have all been thru and we are having a look forward to a new yr, and with a bit of luck, a better one.

But, sooner than the year comes to a detailed, Netflix launched a mockumentary reflecting on some of the large struggles of the year. If you are wondering where you've gotten seen the actor who plays Kathy Flowers in Death to 2020 on Netflix, here's slightly extra data.  

Who performs Kathy Flowers on 'Death to 2020'?

The yr 2020 was once such a fascinating one, it feels love it could be an episode of Netflix's Black Mirror. While it's not, and now we have all lived via this weird and ordinary yr, the writer of Black Mirror has revisited everything that came about in 2020 with a brand new mockumentary special on Netflix. 

The satirical documentary Death to 2020 recaps the drama that happened in real life with a mix of interesting characters who play fictional other people we feel like we now have seen in actual lifestyles. Netflix describes Death to 2020 as a “comedy event that you just’ll by no means disregard," which, honestly, is likely how many of us feel about the year 2020 as well. Well, replace "comedy" with "ridiculous tragedy" and that's probably closer to reality.

The feature tackles many 2020 events including Brexit, Donald Trump's presidency, the bushfires, royals leaving their roles, COVID-19, and the civil unrest that's been all over the country this year. One of the characters in the film is named Kathy Flowers. 

The character is a typical white suburban soccer mom who fell into the many conspiracy theories floating around the internet she found through social media. She started to deeply believe these radical theories in terms of racial injustice and the pandemic. She said, at first, she relied on Dr. Fauci to get updates on the coronavirus, "however that was ahead of I knew he was an actor."

She's basically every typical, dangerous Karen we've come to meet this year. In one segment, she's shown berating several people of color, demanding to know whether the car they are in is theirs or whether the dialysis machine they have to use belongs to them.

The interactions hit close to home and are reminiscent of real life "Karens" like Amy Cooper, who called the police on a Black birdwatcher in Central Park back in May, or Lisa Alexander, who called the police on a person of color who wrote "Black Lives Matter" on his own property in June. 

Of course, Kathy herself is not real. So, who is she? Kathy Flowers is played by Cristin Milioti. 

If Cristin looks familiar to you, it's because she's been around the industry for a while. From 2011 to 2013, Cristin performed in the Broadway play Once. She even won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in 2012 for her role. Before this, she had a small role on HBO's The Sopranos. 

One of her more mainstream roles came in the later seasons of How I Met Your Mother. Cristin played the long-awaited "mom," Tracy McConnell, from 2013 to 2014 on this well-loved series. Currently, she's filming a comedy TV sequence for HBO Max titled Made for Love.

The solid record for Netflix's Death to 2020 is full of very familiar faces including Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Tracey Ullman, and Kumail Nanjiani.

For any individual wanting to watch Death to 2020, and see the very convincing Kathy Flowers, it may well recently be streamed on Netflix.
