Ortega/PR PhotosShowtime announced today that comedian/actor Eddie Izzard and the Emmy-winning Frances Conroy will guest star on United States of Tara during its third season. Izzard will appear in eight episodes and Conroy in one episode opposite star Toni Collette (Tara Gregson).
Izzard will play Tara’s psychology professor who becomes fascinated with Tara while Conroy will star as Max Gregson’s (John Corbett) mother, a recluse with a compulsive hoarding problem. Production on season three begins mid-September in Los Angeles for a 2011 premiere.
The star of one of my favorite stand-up specials of all time (“Dress to Kill”) AND the star of one of my favorite shows of all time (though I don’t remember Conroy ever winning an Emmy) are going to be in this thing…I might need to start watching “The United States of Tara.”
thats cause she never won an Emmy. more reason why I should be working at ew
Frances Conroy will forever be Ruth Fisher to me, but nonetheless,I am still excited to see her on television again!
Agreed! Im so hyped that two of my fave actors are in my favorite show.
I wish Eddie Izzard would get around to making the Riches movie to finish up the show… but i like USOT and i like him…so this should be good..
Eddie Izzard, on the other hand, has TWO Emmys, for writing and performing Dress to Kill.
You had me at Eddie Izzard.
Own all of his one man show dvds. Do yourself a favor, go to YouTube and punch in Deathstar Canteen, legos. You’ll be ROFL.
YAY!!!! I LOVE Eddie Izzard and Tara is a damn good show.
Definately checking out this series after hearing Eddie is joining. (can’t think of anything more to say)
