Table Read Continued...

The table read was so much fun! The cast was there along with three supporting characters. A male reader and I played the rest of the characters. It was quite an experience reading with Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard.

One of the producers read all of the stage directions and the funniest moment was when he read that Minnie's character was half naked so she pulled her shirt down over her shoulder.

I got a huge laugh because one of my lines was "We all love you" but it said in the script 'Spoken in Cant' I obviously don't know Cant and it was written in English so I just said "we all love you." One of the writers was like "you were supposed to say that in Cant".

Also, in Act I of episode six a gun is found in a desk. Minnie said immediately, "if a gun is shown in Act I it is going to go off by Act III." Everyone laughed and she shrugged and said "I'm just saying".

Did the gun go off by Act III? You'll have to watch "The Riches" on FX starting in March to find out. (shameless plug, I know, but I had so much fun at "work" today that I just had to throw that in there:) )
