As gold-digging courtesan Charmaine in the new Woody Allen film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger , Lucy Punch spends most of her screen time acting alongside one Anthony Hopkins — not too bad for a breakout role. The British actress first gained national exposure here on the CBS series The Class , but left the show before it’s eventual cancellation to pursue other projects. It was a risky but, as it turns out, wise move. I spoke to Punch about her role in Stranger , her… interesting wardrobe for both this film and Dinner for Schmucks , learned about her dead-on Midwestern accent the hard way and realized that watching CSI : Miami is certainly not on her list of leisure activities.
