"Eddie Izzard is on the move—literally. When we talk to him by phone
post–L.A. red-eye, he's driving to Manhattan's Bowery Hotel after
recording voice work for the upcoming animated film Igor (followed by
the Tom Cruise film Valkyrie). This happens days before the
second-season finale of The Riches, starring Izzard and Minnie Driver
as Southern gypsies who "steal the American dream," as the series' tag
line goes. For the 46-year-old British stand-up—who says he really
always wanted to be a dramatic actor but got into comedy because he
couldn't get cast in school plays—it's been, as he says, "a little bit
hectic."
