that I’m lucky enough to,” she hopes, “I felt like it’s such a boys club with comedy in Hollywood and that’s what they do. That’s what Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell do. They develop and create their own comedies and I really would love to be a part of that as well. I did really get tired of feeling like I was waiting around for somebody to cast me in their comedy.”
“And that would happen at times, but it would usually be the straight girl roles that are not nearly as much fun to play,” Anna continues, “I felt it was kind of necessary to take some initiative with my own career and I feel very fortunate with this one. I mean I certainly wasn’t very powerful necessarily in the whole process, but I did feel like if I did once, I can do it again, and that’d be great.” Being so tied to playing essentially a dumb blonde, particularly in the Zucker-helmed Scary Movies, we asked Anna if she felt any bit at all concerned about having now play a Playboy bunny possibly further that. “You know, one of the things that comedy has given me over the years is that I have now, it’s given me a really good ability to laugh at myself and not take things that don’t seem to really matter that much too seriously,” Faris believes, “I think that doing the Scary Movies and the other comedies that I have been a part of, I feel like very little offends me any more.

But they were all supportive, they’re all really excited, and it was really fun working with them.” Anna says the experience of filming scenes at the Playboy mansion gave her a surprising insight into how the women there conduct themselves. “I was anticipating that experience being up at the mansion to being a highly competitive between the women and from my distant observance, I didn’t see that at all,” Faris reveals, “I thought everybody was really friendly and nice and supportive, much more so than actresses can be with each other, which is interesting and really refreshing. I have a whole new respect for those girls.” Another thing Anna enjoyed about her Playboy experience was Hugh Hefner’s enthusiasm, particularly with his cameo role in the ... |
