So, how crazy is your House of Lies character, Monica?
She’s your quintessential powerhouse. She runs a company and is also trying to fit in as the matriarch of a family, but she doesn’t have all the tools. I think she also uses drugs to make it easier.

The show is pretty salacious – and as a bonus we get a shot of your co-star Don Cheadle’s arse in the first scene!
Count on Cheadle’s ass being on the show. You actually could make a drinking game out of it. But it’s not gratuitous. I think the situations will lend themselves to revealing his ass.

Is there lots of sex? Come on, sell the show to us.
Early on it was a fear of mine that it was going to be a bit heavy on that, but the way the scenes have come together, especially those particular scenes, there’s so much humour infused that it takes away… it softens the blow, so to speak.
