Why Wallace Shawn Likes Being the Only Guy on The L Word

He may be best known for his portrayal of Vizzini in The Princess Bride, but the truth is that any time there's a successful television show featuring gorgeous women, you can expect to see character actor Wallace Shawn making a brief but memorable guest appearance. From Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives, Shawn now makes the leap to The L Word (Sunday at 9 pm/ET, Showtime) for a four-episode arc, playing William Halsey, the financier of Jenny's fictional film. Shawn chatted with TVGuide.com about being the only guy on-set and why he loves the controversial drama. TVGuide.com: Who is your character?Wallace Shawn: Well, that depends on who you ask. Actors are advocates for their characters, like lawyers, so I would say that I think he was in love with young Jenny and he wanted to change his life and go fr read more

Exclusive: Wallace Shawn to Join Cast of The L Word

Those who feared that The L Word's Jenny (Mia Kirshner) may have drifted out to sea for good can now stop guessing. Jenny is back and ready to start production on her movie "Les Girls."

November 28, 2006: Weeping Willow

“This kid Holden’s lost control of his set.” That pretty much sums up this episode’s whole crazy chain of events. The hour may have been a little convoluted but was compelling and fresh from the first frame to the last.I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical going into this one, after last week’s ripped-from-the-headlines story style, which was both too literal and too out-there for its own good. But I think the writers handled the technique correctly this week, using the LonelyGirl15 debacle as a springboard rather than a crutch. What we got was a carefully plotted hoax, amateur film and kidnapping all rolled into one.I thought it was great to see the detectives scrambling to play catch-up to a new type of crime they definitely weren’t trained for at the police academy. It would have been interesting to see Goren handle this case, but Noth played just the right blend of bravado and bewilderment — while still offering up his trademark sarcast... read more

At last! A poker-game scene with...

At last! A poker-game scene with all the housewives together. Well, all but Lynette, who certainly had her hands full. Taking her crabby boss Nina out every night to the pickup bar certainly was taking its toll. At least getting Nina laid temporarily resolved her crabbiness problem. Loved when Lynette finally came out of her shell, showing us what a sexpot Felicity Huffman actually is. Her transformation scene totally reminded me of Sandy at the end of Grease. I was waiting for her to say, "Tell me about it, stud!" And I must say I love Joely Fisher on this show. Her comedic talents weren't exactly up to their potential on Ellen since she sort of had to play the "straight" man, even when Ellen wasn't out yet. While I'm on the subject of loving, I'm also loving Adrian Pasdar as David, Gabrielle's lawyer. That man has really aged well since the underrated Profit. Maybe being mar read more
