A Scene (With ME!) from Last Monday's Shoot the Messenger

Here's some footage of my first full-fledged live scene on Shoot the Messenger. My character is Gwinevere Cornell-Brown, a super-duper head honcho, chairman of the board, more power than god-type character. Barry Lank, one of the regular writers and performers on STM, is in the scene with me as Barry Katzman, the head of the network...although he still answers to Gwinevere, apparently. Since we were set up to the side of the stage there wasn't really a camera angle of my face, but I promise it's me. This was mostly written by Lizz with Barry and I chiming in, plus direction from Tom Gilroy. Tom claims that my performance is 99% owed to his direction...I'm inclined to agree. So if you don't like it, blame him.

The other character I've played in the show since the beginning is Dana Levan, Wake Up World's Life Expert who appears in videos. On this show the video ran about 5 minutes after my scene as Gwinevere. I was worried that it would be distracting having me appear as both characters so close together, but no one seemed to notice. I guess wigs really do work.
