Just not a very good one, but you'll see for yourselves. I spent the morning in heaven, which consists of a well-lit white screen in Southern California, trying to master my lines for a future Mr Deity episode. That stuff is harder than it looks. We went through many takes while my brain was freezing up at inopportune moments — there's a reason not everyone is a movie star, that's for sure.
Anyway, "Lucy" and "Mr Deity" are actually Amy and Bryan, and they have a nice house with a couple of kids, two dogs, and a cat, and the episodes are filmed in the family room. I hope I haven't shattered any of your illusions. Amy made me pancakes, I think because she's very nice, but it might also have been to load up the klutzy professor's sputtering brain with carbohydrates so that maybe he'd remember his lines.
I made it through it all, though, and I'm hoping that Mr Deity will be able to work a miracle and make me look good with some creative editing. You'll probably see the results next week. It can't possibly be worse than Expelled!
By the way, he mentioned that they're hoping to build up the budget to make a half-hour pilot, which would be awesome — Mr Deity as weekly dose of broadcast irreverence for American living rooms would be an excellent and entertaining corrective. Support them if you can!
