Rick Springfield to guest on "Californication"

[whiplash1972]

Sunday, October 11th 10 pm on Showtime

 

 

When a Californication casting call went out for an '80s idol to play a twisted, misogynistic, drug-addled version of himself (and a new client for Evan Handler's Charlie), everyone from Richard Grieco to Ian Ziering showed up. But Rick Springfield won the four-episode arc that starts tonight, thanks to all-in readings of depraved lines detailing how he'd orally pleasured a Tarzana housewife who'd paid $1,000 for a day with him. ''Challenges are what you get into acting for,'' he says. ''My favorite part before this was when I played a psychotic murderer and rapist in [the 1990 TV movie] Dead Reckoning. And it was the best reviews I ever got.'' He's tight-lipped about his alter ego, but reveals that ''Rick'' likes group sex and will butt heads with David Duchovny's Hank. We're doing the math...and setting our DVRs. —Mandi Bierly

Loved this show... but it's been missing from Aussie TV screens for over a year now. I hope channel 10 didn't cancel it's subscription.
