Who plays Margaret McPoyle?
Thesy Surface is the Margaret McPoyle actress. Thesy played Margaret McPoyle in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the popular series, Margaret McPoyle is a member of the McPoyle family. Margaret’s brothers are Ryan McPoyle and Liam McPoyle. She has numerous other siblings including a brother named Doyle McPoyle.
McPoyle is notable for her obsessive lip-licking, proclivity for pigtails, and wholly unlucky unibrow. In case you’ve forgotten her most famous scene, we’ll refresh your memory: In the episode from 2007, “”You know, your eyebrow drives me crazy…,” sleaze merchant Dennis Reynolds (played by Glenn Howerton) successfully seduces McPoyle with the world’s nastiest neg: “You know, your eyebrow drives me crazy… It’s so dense, so dark, and so intertwined.”
How did Thesy Surface get the Role of Margaret McPoyle
In a 2012 interview with the Mr. Media podcast, Thesy Surface revealed that she was “literally fresh off the bus” to Los Angeles when she landed the plum role of Margaret McPoyle. She first learned of the acting gig through word of mouth, tipped off by “a friend from the university” who was interning for director Daniel Attias. (Since 2005, Attias has directed well over a dozen Always Sunny episodes.)
As Thesy Surface told TheTVJunkieDotNet in 2010, a friend shared a few important details over the phone: “They’re looking for this really tiny role,” he said, “and it’s like this really sleazy character.” Once she caught wind of that fact, Surface thought: “Oh, okay, I’m never going to get this because, you know, I’m too attractive.” Her reason for pursuing the part? A fresh-faced newbie to the Hollywood scene, she told the Mr. Media podcast that she “just wanted to be on TV.”
She evidently didn’t realize what she’d signed up for. She certainly “didn’t know [Margaret] was going to be that ugly,” she told TheTVJunkieDotNet. Nevertheless, “two days” after auditioning and landing the role, Surface was sitting on the Always Sunny set “getting all her ugly makeup on.” She had officially arrived… or had she?
Thesy Surface allegedly had a stalker
According to Nickiswift, TMZ had its eye trained on Thesy Surface: One night, the tabloid chronicled her attempt to slip into Los Angeles nightclub Voyeur without any ID. As she smoked outside the club waiting to get a word in with the doorman, a cameraman goaded her with a loaded question: “What’s this character you play with the unibrow? Are you like the Ugly Betty?” Surface responded: “She makes Ugly Betty look like a Victoria’s Secret model.”
Later that year, the TMZ again had a far less cheering update about the actress: In the update, Surface had reportedly “turned to police for help” after being harassed by an online stalker, who reportedly “email[ed] her pics of an animated finger spelling the c-word in blood.”
The Documents indicated that police had already unearthed the weirdo’s “IP address” and email particulars, tracing the taunting messages “back to a Tumblr account by the name of ‘dirtythesy.'” This anonymous creepo sent Surface obscene images and several vicious emails, including a message accusing the actress of being “ugly and untalented.”
The actress, Thesy Surface was truly “spooked” and suspected her “stalker” somehow knew “all her personal information.” TMZ reported that she was “fully cooperating with the LAPD” in the hopes of finding the culprit. No word on how any of this turned out, but the story acts as a general reminder that the Internet is awful and please never look at it.
