Californication Insider

” I have such a respect now for women who do pole dancing. It’s very athletic. I mean, they’re athletes! It was so hard and so painful. I had so many bruises.”

Eva Maria Livia Amurri hasn’t done a huge amount to get herself known in the UK. She has, however, got herself extremely well known in America, primarily by appearing in the David Duchovny fronted TV show Californication. She plays Jackie, a character who has done one of the best TV-strips-by-someone-who’s-not-a-professional-stripper performances of all time. She’s a born and bred New Yorker, which means she’s a whole load cooler than you already.

Eva Amurri is the daughter of actress Susan Sarandon and director Franco Amurri. This makes her a bit Welsh, a bit Italian and a bit American. She once got stealing cakes and cookies from a film set and taking them home. We don’t know what film it was. Or what kind of cookies they were. She starred in Friends in 1994 in the episode called The One With Joey’s Brain.

Rick Springfield is playing Rick Springfield in Season 3 of Californication and he does a fine job taking the piss out of being Rick Springfield.

The Australian star plays a degenerate rock star that comes to stay with the Runkle’s and proceeds to play lead with the lady of the house Marcy Runkle (Pamela Adlon).

The line of the show is Hank Moody (David Duchovny) telling Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler), “What are you doing mopping in the fridge. 80s pop legend Rick Springfield is in there stealing your girl. Not Jessie’s Girl, your girl, Runkle’s girl”.

And if you think Rick Springfield (Rick Springfield) can play a degenerate to the note, then also watch Sue Collini (Kathleen Turner), the other new star of the season.
