Who doesn't want lesbo action?
Right? I mean, c'mon! It's Fox! You should have seen how excited the crew got when we were shooting those scenes. You'd think we were ready to get out the Crisco and the bikinis.
And what's the crew like? Are they these old teamsters?
[laughs] They're older, but they're some of my best friends. My only friends since I've moved out to L.A. I'm actually becoming a teamster myself. I gotta make some girlfriends. I'm totally one of the boys -- beer shots, fart jokes, you name it.
You're the Shirley MacLaine of the Rat Pack.
Exactly.
There's been very little sex this year…
Yeah. Well, that's going to change a bit.
No one else agreed with me, but I got a lesbian vibe off of you and Paula. Was that intentional?
No! [laughs]
It's just that there was this moment in the bathroom…
Oh, right, where you wrote she was going to ask me for a tampon? [laughing] I don't know. Now you're making me nervous. Or maybe they saw those scenes and said, "Oh, we've got to bring in a chick for her!"
What was it like to work with Darlene?
Darlene? Oh, it was great. She's really mellow and really sweet. She was nothing like the character she played on Roseanne. You know, she wasn't all surly and sarcastic…and that's how I expected her to be in real life. But she was completely sweet and low-key. It's funny, I seem to have this Roseanne connection in my life. I'm friends with Lecy [Goranson, who played Becky on Roseanne]. I was in this Eric Bogosian play and she had worked with the director on something else, so I met her when she came out and saw the show. She lived in my neighborhood so we'd see each other all the time. She's funny. Not like "Becky" at all. And this same director directed this other play. There was a girl in that who was dating the guy who played David [Johnny Galicki].
Who would you say are your pals in the cast?
We all go out as a group.
You mean even the actors from the other plotlines?
Yeah, Dennis [Haysbert] will come out with us sometimes. Although not as much anymore, because he's a big old movie star now so he's always working. No, but the producers threw a party the other night and everyone came out, Penny [Johnson Jerald], Dennis, and Jude [Ciccolella]…
When you all go out, is there this sense that the Palmer people and the CTU people are rival gangs?
