‘Poker Face’s Patti Harrison On Playing Her “Dream Role” In Season 2, That “Devastating” Finale & What’s Next For Alex & Charlie


With Natasha Lyonne's Charlie Cale on the run once again in the Season 2 finale of 'Poker Face', let's hope Patti Harrison's Alex isn't far behind.

Ahead of Thursday’s episode ‘The End of the Road’, the comedian spoke to Deadline about taking on the “dream role” of the mysterious Alex, at first introduced as a quirky friend and potential Watson for the troubled protagonist Charlie’s Sherlock, but revealed in the finale to be the Moriarty of the story. In the penultimate ‘Day of the Iguana’, directed by Ti West, an assassin (Justin Theroux) frames Alex for murdering the groom (Haley Joel Osment) at a wedding she and Charlie are catering. As revealed her menacing act-three monologue, Alex is actually the world’s deadliest assassin who became so bored with killing bad guys when she heard about Charlie, the elusive human lie-detector.
