Sue Scott plays Shelly on “The Cleveland Show”

Sue was very pleased last week to be booked to voice a character role on the prime time animated TV series, “The Cleveland Show“, which airs Sunday nights on FOX TV.  This show is a spin off of the popular animated series, “Family Guy” and was created by the same folks (Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry, and Richard Appel).  In this upcoming episode, “Your Show of Shows”,  Sue plays the role of Shelly.  Shelly and her husband Harv have their own cable access show entitled, “Picking on Raccoons with Harv and Shelly”.  It’s a quick scene,  filled with lots of blood curdling screams and a not so happy ending… so in other words, tons of fun to do!

“A Behanding” is Something to behold

I’m in New York City for an unbelievably packed “A Prairie Home Companion” at the Town Hall.

Sue Scott Kristin Chenowith and Tim Russell

Kristin Chenowith joins us between performances of "Promises, Promises"

Kristin Chenowith, Debra Monk, Rob Fisher, Heather Masse, and a young star to be, Kate Beahen. Friday night  we wrapped rehearsal at 7pm, so I went to the TKTS Booth on 47th to get a half price seat for Christopher Walken’s play ” A Behanding in Spokane” by Micheal McDonagh. I met Micheal when I introduced a sneak screening of his Oscar nominated film, “In Brugge”, a lovely guy and amazing writer. Christopher Walken is off the charts with his “Walkeness” in this hysterically dark dramedy about a man in search of his missing hand for some 45 years. A couple of erstwhile drug dealers try to rip him off, and a hotel receptionist brilliantly played by Sam Rockwell adds to the grisly humor. If you are in New York and have a hankering for the quirky by all means see ” A Behanding in Spokane”.

After the show we found ourselves right in the middle of the car bomb threat in Times Square. A little more excitement than the City should really have. Thanks goodness the phrase “See something, Say something” meant something.
