I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I've played, but I think I'm pretty similar to the character I'm playing now. The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks and Geeks Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl. Lizzy Caplan bigbringcharacter share on social
I think it's necessary to identify with anything - with any character you play, there's got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it's like one tiny thing. But it's equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it. Lizzy Caplan charactercommoncompletely share on social
I really unfortunately don't have tons of hilarious Sundance stories, because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out, but the reason why is because I never go see other people's movies and I think that's the way to do it. Lizzy Caplan bigfanhang share on social
As an actress - and as an actor, too, but it's worse for actresses - you constantly get picked apart for how you look. Lizzy Caplan actoractressbadly Change image and share on social

Whenever you're starting a new show, you have these awkward first lunches and meetings that are sort of mandatory, and everybody shows up, but nobody knows each other. Lizzy Caplan awkwardlunchmandatory Change image and share on social
I had a bat mitzvah, was confirmed, went to Jewish summer camp, I go to temple for the High Holy Days. I think, like most people in their early 20s, I kind of strayed away from it. I think once I have a family I'll be back into it. Lizzy Caplan 20sbackbat share on social
I have a special ability to spot TV shows that don't go past two seasons; that's my gift. Lizzy Caplan abilitygiftpast Change image and share on social
Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all... . Everybody really, really likes everybody else. Lizzy Caplan businesscastcatch share on social
I think there's something very lovely and hilarious about exploring the particular neuroses of the female mind. It's just not the same thing with men. I mean, there are exceptions, but for the most part, women beat themselves up in their heads more. They overanalyze stuff far more than men do. Lizzy Caplan beatexceptionexplore share on social
