I procrastinated watching Broad City, and when I finally did about a year ago, I was like, “Holy shit, this show is amazing.” I had friends in common with Ilana and we’d met briefly at NYU. I do still do voiceover work, because that’s really fun for me. I’m not going to be going out there auditioning for things all the time. The only times I do act are when it’s with friends, or when it’s a project I really like. I have no interest in pursuing an actual acting career. How was the opportunity to be on Broad City presented to you? Photo by Ari Scott So we know that you haven’t done much acting since you were a child star, and you’ve kind of pushed back from that image as an adult performer. It’s a rare appearance for Wilson, now 28 and a writer and performer in the New York theater and storytelling scene: She notably pushed away from acting after aging out of kid roles, and has tried to distance herself from being known as “that girl from Matilda” ever since.īut, she told Brokelyn, the cameo was actually her idea: Like many women her age, she’s a fan of the show, and she saw it as a chance to dip a toe into embracing those childhood roles that made her famous, while still moving forward with her career. Doubtfire cameo some viewers might overlook: Mara Wilson, who as a bright-eyed 6-year-old played the youngest daughter in the movie, plays the waitress in the restaurant. Whoopi’s Sister Act 2 cameo was hard to miss, but this scene contains a Mrs. Doubtfire - the scene in the restaurant with Robin Williams’ character running back and forth between two tables, except this time it’s Abbi running between Ilana’s parents’ anniversary dinner and a secret date with Trey, her Soulstice boss/new hookup pal. This week’s episode went for a full-on, nearly beat-by-beat recreation of the climax of Mrs. Episode 3 included tributes to both The Sandlot and Sister Act 2, complete with a Whoopi Goldberg cameo.
#SOULSTICE BROAD CITY TV#
This season, Broad City has been doing what a lot of us would probably do with our own TV shows: paying homage to our favorite 90s movies.
