Who likes Arrested Development & Charlize Theron?

I ask, because she’ll be on five episodes this season.

Theron to join AD

I’ve always liked her, but I’m not sure how well she’ll do comedy. I think it could be very interesting. At any rate, I hope she helps produce some ratings so Fox never dreams of canceling it again.

Your link didn’t work for me, but that’s okay, because I love AD and Charlize Theron defines half of the word hotpie. The good half. I don’t think that show can do wrong. They even took Heather Graham (Grahm? Gram?) and made her more than just a little eyecandy.

Here’s a link that works: CNN story

I dunno, I thought Graham and Dreyfus were boring and absolutely hated Martin Short, so AD + Celebrities /= fun all the time. I generally haven’t enjoyed Michael’s girlfriends on the show so far, he hasn’t had a spark with any of them.

At least she can act and avoids the inherent problems of somebody who was rumored last year–Justine Bateman.

Boy, I love Arrested Developement and thought I hadn’t missed a show, but I can’t remember Heather Graham’s being in it. What part did she play?

The teacher who loves Saddam Husein.

About time they had an African-American cast member!

I thought Julia Louis-Dreyfuss has been good.

I’ll take all the stunt casting I can get if it means more eyeballs.

Anyway, thereon played a very funny couple scenes with Woody Allen in Curse of the Jade Scorpion, although she was the straight man.

What about Marta? I thought they worked pretty well together. I know it wasn’t stunt casting, but there was a spark.

My link didn’t work?? :smack:

Thanks TVJM for providing a good link.

And Eve, I believe you are forgetting Franklin.

Yeah. Oh yeah.

Huh?

Sorry, I just had a fantasy in which both Charlize Theron and Portia di Rossi said “Say hello to these!” to me.

Could this… I shudder to say… be to help promote Aeon Flux?

And Carl Weathers, of course! :wink:

I think Franklin is a Ventriloquil-American.

Somehow I can imagine Charlize repeating her uncanny performance as Aileen Wuornos on this show.

And then they started making out.*

And then Maebe joined them…

She’s almost 18. Don’t look at me like that!

Anyway I enjoyed the two episodes with Louis-Dryfuss (I missed the one[s] in the second season) and Heather Grahmm did just fine. I’m excited.

*At least half of that is plausible. Portia di Rossi is a lesbian. I never knew that until I saw it on one of those crappy VH1, nothing else on, celebrity shows.

Actually, in my fantasy, I joined them. But there’s always room for Maeby.

It wasn’t you I was looking at.

I could swear that I read on IMDB that she was married to a guy, a producer or something. But now I can’t find it. Anyway, so she’s not married. WOO HOO!

I googled “Portia Ellen” and came up with this. Apparently pre-Ellen she was dating Ringo’s step-daughter. Didn’t know that part of the story.

I think I need to re-watch the episode where she goes from protestor to cage dancer.

Nice eye candy, but I’m hoping Theron really helps boost ratings.

I bet she’s funny. She seems pretty with-it. There was one scene in Monster when she feathers her hair and then gives it a little filp and looks in the mirror and makes a “lookin’ GOOD!” face and I thought it was pretty hilarious.

She’s cute, but barely 16. And we’ve been watching her on TV since she was 14, so…
