The Big C
April 2012 - Season 3
Lee Tergesen plays Kirby, a bartender in a
British-themed pub, in five episodes of the
acclaimed Showtime series "The Big C."
The series stars Laura Linney in an
award-winning performance as Cathy Jamison, a woman battling Stage 4
melanoma. During this season, Cathy has created an alter ego named
Alexis Bertrand, and it is as Alexis that Cathy interacts with
Kirby. The alter ego enables Cathy to relax, let loose, laugh and
not be afraid. (Laura Linney and Lee previously appeared together in "Wild Iris.")
The season premiered April 8 and will have 10
episodes. Season three will explore "bargaining" and what it means
for a woman battling cancer who may get the gift of more time.
The action picks up three weeks after the
events of the cliffhanger finale of Season 2, in which Cathy's
husband, Paul (Oliver Platt) suffers a heart attack.

The first episode of the series' third season
opens with Cathy at a British-themed bar tended by Kirby. It's a
laid-back place, and Cathy is delighted by the fact that the clock
is set to "bar time," which gives the illusion of "more time." In
the second scene, we see more of Kirby's charm and tattoos, and he talks Cathy into joining the bar's
broom ball team. She signs up as Alexis Bertrand.

Lee-as-Kirby is one scene in this episode,
wherein Cathy (aka Alexis) admires his tattoos. Kirby, shows one
that is supposed to be the grim reaper, but he says it was
done by his cellmate in prison and they didn't have the right
supplies so it looks more like a clown with a droopy penis.
Cathy/Alexis is intrigued, but Kirby said he only robbed a liquor
store. He describe his tattoos as his "memoirs" -- telling the story
of his life. |
