‘Better Call Saul’ star Rhea Seehorn gets animated in Paramount+ series
Rhea Seehorn, who stars in the new animated comedy “The Harper House,” has much in common with Debbie Harper, her 2-D alter ego — starting with their first names.Seehorn’s real name is actually Deborah — Rhea (prounced “Ray”) is her middle name — though it’s a coincidence that series creator Brad Neely gave the same name to his lead character.“I don’t think it was until we were recording the third episode and I said, ‘My mom is really gonna get a kick out of this’ because I was called ‘Debbie’ until I was around 13,” said Seehorn, 49. “Brad and I really hit it off; he based ‘The Harper House’ on a lot of his experiences from growing up in a small town in Arkansas and we talked about Debbie and her family.
