Uma Thurman (Smash, The Slap) has signed up for a guest starring role in My So Called Wife, a new scripted series from Bravo Media and Universal Cable Productions. Thurman will appear in multiple episodes of the series from executive producers Adam Brooks and Paul Adelstein. The cast is led by Inbar Lavi (Gang Related) and includes Parker Young (Suburgatory), Stephen Bishop (Being Mary Jane), and Rob Heaps (Frankenstein and the Vampyre: A Dark and Stormy Night). Filming is taking place on season one in Vancouver.
Per Bravo: “Uma will play Lenny Cohen, the ultimate fixer. 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.”
“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,” stated executive producer 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.”
The Plot: My So Called Wife follows Maddie (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 (Heaps) and Richard (Young) try to track her down just as she eyes her next mark, Patrick (Bishop).
