The L Word Really Gets You

January 04, 2008

20080104_word_320x240.jpgWe’ve often marveled at the "L Word’s" ability to bring in so many actors that played roles that were so pertinent in our web of past pop culture obsession. It’s like they dug into a lesbian’s mind while she was asleep and flipped through all the tapes from her mental VCR. Jennifer Beals as the sexy stripper/welder in Flashdance, Laurel Holloman as the lucky tomboy in The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love, Pam Grier as the baddest ever Foxy Brown, Leisha Hailey as the pink-haired girl in All Over Me, Katherine Moennig who moonlighted as Jake in Young Americans and Cybill Shepherd as the irascible Maddie Hayes from "Moonlighting." Well, we could go on but you get the point.

And now they’ve gone and done it again by digging up Wallace Shawn who played the clever and nefarious Vizzini from The Princess Bride. His character will have a four episode arc on the new season as a financier who backs Jenny’s movie. How do they do it and who’s next? What’s her name from Personal Best? No, or even better, Meredith Salenger from The Journey of Natty Gan! That would be so sweet.
