Mary-Louise Parker is riding high
![MARY-LOUISE PARKER has a crowded mantel at home -- there's an Emmy, a Tony and a couple of Golden Globes. She may need to make room now with two more lead-actress Emmy nominations, one for the Showtime series "Weeds" and the other for the Oxygen movie "The Robber Bride." As Nancy Botwin, the frazzled single mom and pot grower on "Weeds," Parker has critics and fans raving, and she cheerily describes the show as "totally perverse." But, no, that doesn't mean she wants you to hand her a joint if you see her on the street.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-09/32398913.jpg "MARY-LOUISE PARKER has a crowded mantel at home -- there's an Emmy, a Tony and a couple of Golden Globes.

Demián Bichir is feeling playful
![Demián Bichir refers to it as "the theater connection," and it sure can lead an actor to some intriguingly unexpected places. Like scaling the summit of the Mexican box office, staring into the mirror and seeing Fidel Castro or spanking Mary-Louise Parker, Bichir's partner in crime and, lately, passion on Showtime's "Weeds." <b>¶</b> Whenever Bichir meets another actor who cut his or her teeth in the theater, "we all go crazy about it," says the fiercely handsome Mexico City-born performer, who will make his U.S. stage debut tonight at the Geffen Playhouse. He's costarring with Shannon Cochran in the two-character drama "By the Waters of Babylon" by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan about an unlikely Austin, Texas, encounter between a Cuban novelist transformed by fate into an immigrant gardener and a withdrawn academic widow. He's also prominently on screen this fall as Castro in Steven Soderbergh's Che Guevara diptych, "The Argentine" and "Guerrilla." <b>¶</b> In the theater, Bichir continues, "there is a link that connects, because once you've been on the stage your life cannot be the same, as an audience or an actor." <b>¶</b> Certainly Bichir's life hasn't been the same since he hooked his first acting job in a Mexican <i>telenovela</i> at age 14. Born into a family of well-known thespians, he quickly began landing film and television roles between theater stints with his family. Among his roles was Alan Strang, the boy with the equine-erotic fixation in "Equus," in a cast that included Patricia Bernal (Gael's mom) as Alan's would-be lover, Jill.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-11/43190779-04171703.jpg "Demián Bichir refers to it as "the theater connection,\" and it sure can lead an actor to some intriguingly unexpected places.
