Outside of reading the script and learning a text completely, a great actor will do an enormous amount of research for his or her character. In performing a piece from Tom Griffin’s A Boy Next Door, Kargman extensively researched the daily life of autistics, the emotional structure of autism and the scientific rationale of the disease...
...love her character—and it is hard not to after her adorable Buster Keaton references—she also convinces you that Alice may not necessarily be someone you want to have around.
