The new Eddie Izzard show, “The Riches,” is about to start on F/X.
“A wild new playground for a TV drama,” says Newsweek.
& Apparently the son likes to wear dresses.
“Could be worse,” says the wife.
“He could be on crack,” says Izzard’s character.
But Eddie Izzard as a con man – somehow, it’s perfect. It gives him a chance to be the eight million people he can be – the kind of broodiness I’ve seen him do on Broadway, but then that big used-car salesman schmaltzy guy he does, too – which has nothing to do with him being a transvestite, & everything to do with him being a really good actor.
