Tuesday 17th October 2006 Actress Anne Heche Says Playing Poker Got Her New Role
Former Ally McBeal star Anne Heche credits her weekly poker nights for helping her land the lead in hit new US show Men in Trees because she thinks that they help her to better understand men.
Heche plays Marin Frist, a relationship-advice guru who discovers her fiancée is cheating on her. Her current book tour shattered, Anne's character makes the decision to stay in a small town in Alaska where she finds herself outnumbered by men ten to one. Marin has the opportunity to pick herself up and figure out just what she has been telling people she knew all about, all along.
Heche believes the testosterone-fuelled weekly poker games she plays in gave her the edge when she was auditioning for the role.
'Guys talk differently than women and I'm able to communicate with them,” said Heche. 'I play poker when I'm not working, so I'm often at a table full of men. I think that helped me with this show.'
