The Gang Gets an Interview*

We have a real treat for you today, loyal readers.  Thanks to our intrepid stalker, Gonzo, we have secured an interview with the hottest inbred, deaf-mute since Holly Hunter in The Piano.  That’s right, we’re talking about none other than Thesy Surface.  ”Who?” you ask.  Why, Margaret McPoyle of course – from the funniest show on television, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Those of you familiar with the site are undoubtedly aware of our love for the show due to its groundbreaking comedy, its willingness to turn conventional television plot lines on their ear, and the brilliance that is Charlie Day.

Again, Gonzo deserves all the credit for this stroke of brilliance.  If it weren’t for his creepy emails and his nonthreatening stalking, we never would have landed an interview of this magnitude.  See kids, if you pester someone long enough, they will eventually do whatever you want.  So, without further ado, Thesy Surface.

Thesy Surface

I noticed on your Facebook that you describe yourself as “Kabbalistically inclined, genetically Catholic”. Isn’t that against the law?

Haha. Yes. But in Hollywood, anything goes. I want Scientology in there somewhere. How about “Kabbalistically inclined, genetically Catholic but believes in aliens AND Tom Cruise”.

Imagine getting Bat Mitvah’d AND Communionized by Aliens? Katie Holmes called, she wants to slap some sense into you.  Why don’t you tell me how you nailed the audition and got the part of Margaret McPoyle?
This guy from college, Max Joseph (God, bless his soul!) was interning for the director, Dan Attias at the time. He said they were looking for a girl to be sleazy on the show. I was new to town and pretty much up for anything so I showed up to set where they were casting, along with 12 other girls. I had no make-up, a bad hair cut and a Clash T-shirt on. Dan Attias went through us and Charlie, Rob and Glenn looked on, from a distance. Later at the lunch table they called my name and when they pronounced it correctly (a rare thing) I knew it was a good sign. Next thing I know, an assistant director was telling me I should get to wardrobe. I think the Clash T-Shirt sealed the deal.

It’s amazing that you got the part because of the outfit you picked out that morning. That must be the lucky shirt you wear on dates.  Do people walk up to you in the street and raise their hand, blink real fast and lick their lips?
Ummm, well, I like to think that I’m not recognizable out of unibrow and discoloration make-up. But who am I kidding, right?

The unibrow drives me bonkers. Margaret, I want you inside me.
Yes, please! Now, if I could only find my penis….

Simmer down now, Thesy. This is a family site. Let’s fulfill the criteria of the site. Which is your favorite baseball team?
I went to a Dodgers game so I guess I’m a Dodgers fan (!?). I’ve noticed I enjoy baseball a lot more when there is a beer in my hand and a cute guy next to me (Get on that Nug). As for other sports….well, I grew up in London so “Soccer” or FOOTBALL, as I like to call it is my true passion. Chelsea all the way!! Oh, and I’m a big Lakers fan. The finals this year was just heartbreaking.

Considering Hef is a Diamondbacks fan, we are lucky this is even being published. What’s on tap for the new season? Does Margaret get any lines? Any new love interests?
Ah, don’t think you can get plot lines out of me that easily. I’m still a deaf-mute this season and I don’t think that will ever change with Margaret. I actually LOVE it. It makes me feel, rather narcissistically, like one of those silent film stars (be it an incredibly ugly one). It’s also a great test on my acting because I’m usually so vocally expressive that when I’m forced to shut my trap, it’s hard to tell if I’m over-acting or under-acting. Love interests? Only with bodily functions this season. But that’s all I’m revealing. Maybe in Season 5 they can amp things up with a Margaret-Charlie-Mac threesome? Or a lesbian affair with Dee? I would feel sorry for the actors though, having to kiss the creature from the black lagoon. Danny DeVito’s always up for some crazy stuff. Glenn’s probably still having nightmares.

What’s the funniest thing Charlie Day has done?
Kiss the Waitress. Wait…that’s his wife. So, yes, that’s the funniest thing. Are you kidding me?

He married the waitress in real life? He must be really packing an anaconda down there. She’s way outta his league. Tell me about working with the main characters. I know fans want to hear about how funny and crazy they are.
The “funny and crazy” part happens when the camera is turned on and you guys get to see it in your living room. In between takes on set, it’s down to business like most shows. As for their time off-set….well, I’m sure the 1 week a year they’re not working is probably pretty insane. Maybe they just cuddle up in bed together and watch “Maid in Manhattan.”

Here’s the question for the ages. Tell me something interesting about you.
I dance like a black girl from Compton.

Oh my goodness, I think it moved.

The 4th season of Always Sunny begins Thursday, Sept. 18th.
