Won't help with this project, but might help with the next one....
I dare guess you've never worked with Israelis before. Nobody (other than me) will remember anything next year. But thank you anyway for the offer. It's very comforting to know that I'm not alone in being awake, even if y'all are in different timezones.

I know, Dana! I almost didn't want to say anything.
Inspector Lynley (not that any one cares)
so they got a new actress for his ex-wife for all of an ep to kill her off.
That's lame.
LOVE inspector Linley... and that is lame.
Quick question for theater people. A friend got pressured into playing the madman in the Telltale Heart for Halloween. (How original!). The question, at the end when he starts raving he breaks into uncontrollable laughter. Are there any tricks real actors know for not breaking up when delivering lines they find hilarious?
Go ahead and laugh, just make it sound maniacial?
"It's no secret you turn to potatoes in times of need." -- Daniel, Ugly Betty
Teppy, a few weeks ago I got a tape from a friend with the beginning of "Ugly Betty", the first season, and a "You *have* to see this!" excited recommendation. We had an Israeli version (of the original telenovela), which was mostly silly, and not much more than that. My friend assured me that the USA version is great. Your tagline makes me guess that you agree with her?
It really IS great! At first I wasn't sure I'd like it, because I can't handle shows/stories that involve humiliating a character, and I was afraid that "Ugly Betty" could head that way. It hasn't, though, and it's had some fantastic moments.
Things become less hilarious with repetition. He may not have that problem with lots of rehearsal.

Heh. I worked with a bunch of Israelis at the Jewish high school, and I have to say that I learned a lot about both the good
and
bad inherent in Israeli culture. The funniest thing is that they joke about it all the time.
