Minnie Driver: "I Will Die If I'm Not In The 'Will & Grace' Reboot"
Minnie Driver is making a public plea to be a part of one of the most anticipated television revivals: the upcoming ninth season of Will & Grace.
The actress, who currently stars on Speechless, sat down with the L.A. Times to discuss her role on the ABC sitcom, but the conversation quickly turned to all things Karen Walker.
"I will die if I’m not in the Will & Grace reboot,” Driver said. “My head will explode in front of Universal Studios, which is an NBC [property].”
Driver played Lorraine Finster, the rival of Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) and daughter of Lyle Finster (John Cleese), for two seasons of the NBC sitcom.
"There's nothing I wouldn't do. There's nowhere Lorraine Finster couldn't have gone," said the actress. "She could be marrying Prince Harry!"
Driver continued to gush about her experience on the show proclaiming that it "was honestly one of the happiest times in my life. I've never laughed so much shooting a show in my life."
She even recalls filming one of her favorite scenes—which involved hiding a tiara up her skirt that eventually hit the floor when Lorraine had to give up all of the jewelry she tried to steal from Karen.
"They couldn't use the laugh track of the audience when we did that because it was so funny," she reminisced. "That was on network television!"
We definitely think the writers could squeeze in a quick Lorraine cameo since NBC recently ordered additional episodes of the revival.
"I really do hope they let me in there," Driver added.
Will & Grace airs weekdays on Logo.
