Episode 149: Elizabeth Bowen

Elizabeth “Liz” Bowen shines on SyFy’s Resident Alien. The hilarious and ominous sci-fi series tells the story of an alien – played by Alan Tudyk – who crashes to Earth and takes over the body and life of a doctor named Harry Vanderspeigle in a small Colorado town. The show is at once full of heart and darkly comic, and as Deputy Liv, Liz is brilliantly deadpan, astoundingly nuanced, and bloody funny. This is no surprise to anyone who is familiar with Liz’s work on stage or in Michelle’s, Hospital Show, Paranormal Solutions Inc., Upload, Convos With My Two Year Old, and numerous other projects. In this illuminating and hilarious episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, Liz talks being funny, where she ends and Deputy Liv begins, what she *really* thinks about her canine colleague Deputy Cletus, and how she keeps a straight face while filming Resident Alien’s funniest scenes.
