So far there's been sultry photos, a car crash and a fainting episode. Looks like Lifetime's movie on the uproarious marriages, fights, passion and boozing lives of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are similarly dramatic in re-telling their story as in life. Beyond The Trailer host Grace Randolph caught up with New Zealand-born actor Grant Bowler at Comic-Con who revealed his "obsession" with Richard Burton, how he feels about special effects, and perhaps more intriguing, his impressions on working with co-star Lindsay Lohan.

For as long as this Lindsay Lohan-starring Liz & Dick has been swirling around in the ether, it's been difficult to nail down exactly what sort of project it might turn out to be; it is a Lifetime movie, after all, even if it's one concerned with the Hollywood glamor surrounding Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and their legendary, tempestuous romance. So the caliber of Lohan's co-star, it seemed, might give us a better idea of what to expect. And it looks like LiLo and Lifetime have finally found their Dick, all the way from the steamy climes of Bon Temps, Louisiana.

Sure, Lindsay Lohan lost the lead role in that Linda Lovelace biopic long ago, but notorious Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss believes it's not too late for the beleaguered LiLo to make an honest living out of paid sex: "She's hot. She would have made a great hooker," Fleiss said on HLN's Showbiz Tonight. "I could have made millions off her." Additionally, Fleiss says that Lohan's decision to pose for Playboy is "brilliant."

Ridiculously, obscenely short four-hour jail sentences notwithstanding, Lindsay Lohan's legal woes have cost more than just her professional respectability and reputation; one expert guesstimates that the actress's 20+ court appearances have wasted "millions" for the people of California.
