“Threesome”

Alyssa Spiel jetzt ja bei einer neuen Comedy Serie mit.
Hier im Blog erzählt sie über die Arbeit an der Serie.



Hello! Hello!

I am hoping third times a charm! I just signed on to do
another pilot for ABC. It is a comedy written by Ricky Blitt (Family Guy). The
tentative title is “Threesome”. It is also being called “The Untitled Ricky
Blitt Pilot”. The pilot stars Eric Christian Olsen, who can be found as his
party going alter ego, “Perry Hilton”, on Funny Or Die here: (http://www.funnyordie.com/perry_hilton)

How funny is that guy? I’m looking forward to working with
him. Eric plays a guy who hasn’t really grown up yet, who finds himself torn
between the new love of his life and his best friend. I am playing Rebecca, who
is the new love of his life.

Here is the kicker and why I’m particularly excited about this
pilot… Most of the comedy scripts that I’ve read, the female leads are kind of
the “straight men”; meaning that the chaos ensues around the female roles and
the funny is left to the other, supporting, characters. This isn’t a bad thing.
It’s just obviously not as much fun as being an active participant in the
comedy. Well, much to Mr. Blitt’s credit, he has written the female character
as funny as the male leads. Rebecca has a comedic voice in the script that goes
toe to toe with the guys. AND… the script has a lot of heart, which as you all
know is important to me.

Can you tell that I am excited? I’m excited. I’m not
ecstatic about going through the whole pilot process again. It is stressful and
somewhat scary. But I am happy to be going through it with such a special
script and am flattered that ABC continues to give me opportunities to get a
show on the air. It really is like lightening in a bottle. So many elements
have to work for the execution to live up to the potential. The chemistry has
to be there. The audience has to want to see how things unfold. The audience
has to invest something in the characters.

Keep your fingers crossed for me and I will give you updates
whenever I get a chance.


Peace,
Light,
AND LOVE,

Alyssa
