Patti Harrison plays a character named Alex in Poker Face, who initially appears cheerful and supportive towards protagonist Charlie Cale. Alex offers Charlie a coffee that reflects her quirky personality. However, Alex is later revealed as the Iguana, the best assassin, who deceives Charlie to get close to mob informant Beatrix Hasp, whom she kills in the season finale, creating a cliffhanger for potential future episodes. Harrison showcases a unique duality in her performance, blending light-heartedness with sinister intentions, establishing a memorable character.
When Patti Harrison first shows up in Poker Face, it's with what protagonist Charlie Cale describes as "kid-sister, golden-retriever energy." Harrison's character Alex offers Charlie a patently disgusting butterscotch-pumpkin-mochaccino coffee, showcasing her awkward peppiness and sincere kindness. However, this facade is deceptive as Alex is actually the Iguana, the world’s best assassin, whose friendship with Charlie is a ploy to reach mob informant Beatrix Hasp, whom the Iguana assassinates in the season finale."
Poker Face offers Harrison a chance to explore extremes as both a supportive best friend and a murderous villain. She delivers an impressive performance that captures both aspects of her character.
