Lizzy Caplan on ‘Frankie Go Boom’ and Researching Her New Role in Showtime’s ‘Masters of Sex’

These days it seems like indie actress Lizzy Caplan is popping up everywhere, from her new movie, Bachelorette, to a guest stint on New Girl.  The actress also has two upcoming projects: the film 3,2,1…Frankie Go Boom and the TV series, Masters of Sex.
