Uma Thurman has joined the cast of Bravo’s “My So Called Wife”, playing a character written specifically for her, says Deadline.
The “Kill Bill” actress will recur as ‘the ultimate fixer’ on the Universal Cable Productions drama.
The series, which began production in Vancouver last month and is slated to air next year, follows Maddie (Inbar Lavi), a persona shifting con-artist who is as beautiful as she is dangerous, which makes her unsuspecting victims even more tormented when they realize they have been used and robbed of everything… including their hearts. But things get complicated when her latest victims, Ezra (Rob Heaps) and Richard (Parker Young) try to track her down just as she eyes her next mark, Patrick (Stephen Bishop).
When the reclusive ring-leader of a group of con artists needs to keep his employees in line, eliminate an enemy, or whip up a world class omelette, there is only one person for the job – the lethal, articulate and mysterious Lenny Cohen, played by Thurman.
“Uma and I have been friends for a very long time – I’m thrilled that after many tries we’ll finally get to work together,” said EP Adam Brooks. “Paul Adelstein and I wrote the role of Lenny Cohen specifically for her, and we are so excited to see how Uma’s iconic and very special talents will bring to life this unique and provocative character.”
