Martha Plimpton heard her old boss Greg Garcia was looking for a “Martha Plimpton type” for his new comedy and, frankly, was upset she wasn’t called.
“I was kind of pissed off,” she says now, months later. True, Plimpton was already working on another series, but when it didn’t work out, she got that expected call and jumped right in – with just three days’ notice.
Like “Hope” and “My Name Is Earl,” another Garcia offering, “Sprung” relies on quirky characters doing quirkier things. The big hang-up: The idea that people might think it was about how funny COVID is. Plimpton’s inspiration for Barb: A Disney villain. “I don’t want to say which one it was. I want the audience to figure it out.”Both have had strong careers in drama; he scored with “Winter’s Bone,” “No Country for Old Men” and “Where the Crawdads Sing.” She won an Emmy for “The Good Wife” and has three Tony nominations for work on Broadway.
