We came in at a solid ten with actress Sepideh Moafi because she is a part of one of the only things we ever discuss. You Might Know Her From The L Word: Generation Q, The Deuce, Falling Water, Black Box, and Notorious. We grilled Sepideh for an hour and a half about her new role on The L Word revival as well as the OG L Word. We also got real about playing Loretta on David Simon’s gritty The Deuce alongside James Franco and while we were with her, we just had to ask about The Full Jaffrey in relation to lesbian interracial relationships. Email and DM us examples of The Full Jaffrey, folks, and please enjoy this week’s lovely chat with Sepi.
