QUOTES
"The
best
of
these
sharp,
dark
stories
involves
the
show's
secret
weapon,
Kathleen
Rose
Perkins,
who
plays
Carol
Rance,
the
executive
producer
of
"Pucks!"
A
stoner
in
a
suit,
and
the
mistress
of
the
network's
president,
Carol
has
a
chipper,
anxious
smile
that
stretches
across
her
face
like
a
rubber
band,
snapping
at
moments
of
stress.
She's
self--centered
and
endlessly
willing
to
debase
herself,
but
she's
also
the
only
one
who
cares
about
making
a
hit
show
that's
any
good--a
quixotic
desire,
but,
in
network
television,
a
perverse
form
of
heroism"
----
THE
NEW
YORKER
"While
Mangan
had
more
to
do
in
the
first
season,
Greig
get
a
better
showcase
and
Kathleen
Rose
Perkins
(as
Merc's
right
hand)
is
practically
guaranteed
a
big
career
based
on
her
work
this
year."
----
SOUIX
CITY
JOURNAL
"The
most
fully
realized
character
and,
not
coincidentally
the
best
performance
in
"Episodes,"
is
Kathleen
Rose
Perkins'
Carol
Rance,
Merc's
chief
assistant
who
also
happens
to
be
sleeping
with
him."
----
SAN
FRANCISCO
CHRONICLE
"And
as
Merc's
assistant/lover
Carol,
Kathleen
Rose
Perkins
turns
Hollywood
doublespeak
into
an
art
form."

From Other Woman to Everywoman
By MEGAN ANGELO Published: July 13, 2012
AS it sends up Matt LeBlanc's image, the Showtime comedy "Episodes," about the making of a fictional network sitcom, skewers Hollywood as well: the waffling, the double talk and especially the inept suits who excel at both. But by the end of the show's first season, one of those suits -- played by Kathleen Rose Perkins -- started to seem less clueless than clued-in. Enlarge This Image
Brian Higbee/CPI-Syndication
Kathleen Rose Perkins Ms. Perkins's Carol Rance, a programming executive, spends a lot of her time managing not just fish-outof-water writers (played by Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan) but also the moods of her network-chief boss (John Pankow), with whom she's having an affair. So she's a suit and a mistress -- and on paper, pretty unlikable. Mr. LeBlanc's character, the star of "Pucks!," the show within a show, can't even remember her name. But Ms. Perkins has been proving memorable this season for turning Carol into a heroine by infusing her with neurotic vulnerabilities, a charming interest in good television and the
2012
occasional ability to ungrit her teeth just long enough to smoke a large joint. Writing in The New Yorker this month, Emily Nussbaum called her "the show's secret weapon."
Ms. Perkins, 37, who was raised in New Baltimore, Mich., knows about the vagaries of the television industry: her r?sum? includes roles on the Fox sitcom " 'Til Death" and the TNT drama "Trust Me." She also has a handful of film credits, including an untitled project directed by Diablo Cody that is due out next year. On the phone from Los Angeles, Ms. Perkins spoke with Megan Angelo about her character's journey from other woman to everywoman, her experiences with real-life television executives and a scene that was more awkward than the one in which she had to cheer up her boss while he was on the toilet. Here are excerpts from that conversation.
Q. You've been working as an actress a long time now. What's it like to be playing on the corporate-brass side of things?
A. It's cool to shine a light on something you've experienced for years. I did six pilots prior to getting this show, and with all six I experienced at least one or two of the types of network executives we have on "Episodes."
Q. Which kind is Carol?
A. She's the make-everything-better chick. She's the mother hen of all these people, and Merc, her boss, is the biggest baby of all.
Q. Yes, he's infantile. That's a big part of why he's the worst boss ever. So why would Carol want to date him too?
A. I've had the hardest time with that this season -- why is she in this relationship? I really love how women respond to this character. They all seem to want to slap her around a little and tell her she could do so much better.
Q. This season you have to comfort John Pankow about ratings while he's on the toilet.
A. I saw him on the toilet before we started shooting, but it didn't matter. Anytime you open that door and someone's on the toilet, you have that visceral reaction of `Uh, I'm going to go.' And there's a sound effect at the end of the scene -- a lovely sound effect -- that we didn't have when we were shooting. So the director said: "I'm going to say `plop.' React to my `plop.' "
Q. Was that the most awkward scene you guys have done?
A. In Season 1 we had a scene where he makes me rub his penis during an intercom call, and I just had to do it. John just really commits. We gear up like players in a football game. "You ready, Perkins?" "Let's do this, Pankow!" It's awkward and all-around strange, but also incredibly fun.
Q. One of the show's running gags is Carol never being on the phone when people think she is. It's always "Hold for Carol." Now that people have to "hold for Kathleen," do you feel that power?
A. No, because I still have to hold for my manager. But what I do have now is sympathy for these executives. It's not an easy job, trying to figure out how to get people to like something. There's no equation. So of course they act like psychopaths.

Kathleen Rose P
erkins On 'Episodes' And The Struggles Of Poor Carol
The Huffington Post TV Canada | By Denette Wilford Posted: 07/03/2012 12:19 pm Updated: 07/03/2012 12:20 pm
Kathleen Rose Perkins from 'Episodes.'
The much-anticipated return of "Episodes" is finally upon us, and it's been interesting to theorize what has happened to our beloved characters since we last saw them. Were Beverly and Sean able to get past that Matt LeBlanc-shaped stumbling block, or is their marriage doomed? Will "Pucks" still continue to suck? (HuffPost even got its own shoutout in the premiere, where Sean and Beverly go through a rundown of reviews for the fictional show.) HuffPost TV spoke with Kathleen Rose Perkins over the phone and got some answers. Not only did we gush about our mutual love for the show, but the actress also reveals that the must-see relationship of season two belongs to Carol and Beverly. I loved the reviews for "Pucks" in the first episode, they were hilarious. "Episodes" is one of the few shows that gets me literally laughing out loud, so much so that I have to rewind parts because my laughing drowned them out. But you gave me my first laugh-out-loud moment in the premiere, when you talk about Merc's wife's new ring, and Carol says, "The woman is blind, how will she know? Give her one of her old ones." I just about fell over. [Laughs] Isn't that great? The writers, David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik, are so good at telling a story driven through characters. That's, of course, what Carol would say, but it's also a really funny punchline. At the same time, I'm sure many people think the same thing. They just won't admit it like Carol would.
2012
Right! And she never means to be malicious, she always means well. She's blind. How on Earth will she know if it looks good? So what?
Buy Carol an effing ring! Hulllo! Yeah! That scene totally sets up the entire tone for her for the rest of the season, for their relationship.
What's it like working with John Pankow? You know what, it's real easy, which is really nice because we have some kind of uncomfortable scenes.
Your legs were really high in the air in the return. [Laughs] [Laughs] Um, yeah. It was uh ... yeah. All of those. In episode five, he's on the toilet and I have to control him. There's lots of really uncomfortable positions we find ourselves in. He's a total professional and from the first season into the second season, every scene we go into, he goes, "You ready, Perkins?" And I'm like, "Yeah, Pankow, let's do this." And we just get it done. He's delightful to work with. Real easy and me, I'm a pretty anxious person so for my character to be in an uncomfortable position, I need to be comfortable. Everybody on the set, especially John, has always made me feel real comfortable.
Should we root for Merc and Carol? Probably not, but I don't know. I want her to be happy but she clearly deserves better. That was probably one of the biggest challenges that I had over the second season. I became a real big fan of Carol and I really root for her. I think she's really good at her job and it's just so sad to me that she's the exact opposite in her personal life. She's so selfdestructive and awkward and pathetic, in ways, and I had a real hard time. She can do so much better.
You just want to shake her. Yeah! Just slap her around a little. But I get it. It makes her more endearing and I love that she really is truly in love with him. And it makes it more sad, when you think about it. In that way, it's kind of delicious to play. But it was a little hard because I had to find a way because he's just awful. He's an awful person. I think ultimately you probably don't want them to be together because it's probably pretty toxic for both of them. But I'm glad to hear that it's hard to know whether the audience should want them together.
Well, it's more about her. It really has nothing to do with him. Yeah, she's so into him and he would be fine without her. But, man, you kind of want a happy ending for Carol. I did. I think ultimately, in the end, she does get one.
Does Jamie know about Merc and Carol? That's a good question. It will be slightly answered in the second season, whether she's aware or not. I don't know what I can say about that. It's just really interesting. She takes an interesting path in this second season. I think people should tune in just for that, to see what Merc's blind wife does in retaliation to piss off Merc. Because he's not a very good husband, regardless of whether she knows he's having an affair too.
It's not even that he's a bad husband, he's a bad guy all together. It's not even intentional. He's just an incredibly self-involved person. It's always about
