Macy’s new film project, ‘The Deal’.   Auditioned at casting agent Susan Edelman’s office, Morris’ portrayal of the zany, nervous character was described as “thinking outside the box” by producer Macy and director Steven Schacter. Usually cast in glamorous roles, Morris welcomed the opportunity to exhibit her acting ability by playing a contrasting character.   Los Angeles, California, September 18, 2007: The screenplay of ‘The Deal’ (written by William H. Macy) is an adaptation of Peter Lefcourt’s 1990 novel of the same title. The story focuses on the lead character Charlie Berns (William H. Macy), and his desperate attempt to comeback from the lowest point of his life and career. “The original story’s twists, quirky characters, and unexpected transitions will translate well on the big screen”, said Morris. Morris flew to the set’s location in South Africa where the entire film was shot. “I enjoyed the comedic role that I played alongside the several ‘big name’ stars.” said Morris. Morris portrays the role of ‘Catherine’, a hurriedly assigned, unconfident, ‘bottom of the barrel’, temp’ secretary to the character, Charlie Berns. Morris states that her role in the story adds comic relief to the backdrop of a struggling film studio and its floundering wheeler-dealers. In addition to William H. Macy, Meg Ryan stars as ‘Deidre’, a savvy and tenacious studio executive. Other notable actors in the film include Elliott Gould, Jason Ritter, L..L. Cool J and David Hunt. “Working with the entire cast of ‘the Deal’ was a fantastic experience” according to Morris. She added, “Director Steven Schacter brilliantly communicated his vision of the William H. Macy adaptation”. Tere Morris’ most recent acting role previous to ‘the Deal’ was the dramatic character ‘Miss Patty’ in a post Vietnam story, titled “Journey from the Fall” 2005. The film enjoyed being the official selection at Sundance. Tere Morris is represented by agent Jeffrey Leavitt.
