Lisa Kudrow

WHEN LISA KUDROW WAS APPROACHED TO STAR IN A SERIALIZED Adaptation of the 1981 film Time Bandits for TV (July 24th on Apple TV+), she jumped at the chance to work with creators Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement and Iain Morris.

"I love the way they tell stories and their sense of humor." In this version, Kudrow plays Penelope, the leader of a group of thieves on a time-traveling mission to save the world. Kudrow's part was originally written for a man, "so it took a long time before the scripts stopped having male pronouns." One thing Kudrow responded to was Penelope's false sense of confidence.
