KC actress has got 'Game'

SvelasquezHere's some funky sitcom-real world harmonic convergence for you: On the day that Kobe Bryant's ex-housekeeper sues him and his wife for abuse and nonpayment, I get word that Susanna Velasquez, the Kansas City native and beauty queen who had a four-year stint on "General Hospital," now has a recurring role as Raquel Robinson's housekeeper on the pro-athlete comedy "The Game." She'll be on Friday's episode, hopefully not having to stick her hand in a bag of dog poop.

Earlier, I profiled "Game" creator (also KC native) Mara Brock Akil and had drinks with star Hosea Chanchez.
