The adorable mother/daughter duo of Sissy Spacek and Schuyler Fisk were photographed as they spent the afternoon together in Beverly Hills today. Am I the only one that would love to see them working together on another project?

Spacek is ready to make her way into the complicated world of the Hendrickson’s. She is going to be guest starring on HBO’s Big Love this season where she will play the role of a Washington lobbyist.

The Daily Beast spoke to creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer who gave us a little insight into what we can expect to see from Sissy.

Olsen: We knew who the character was and for the longest time we thought that character was a man. It was only maybe a month or two into the writers’ room that we were looking at the dynamics that this character was bringing forward and one of us came up with the idea that it would make more sense if she were a woman. It would shake up that story in so many interesting ways. Once we did that, there were a couple of directions… that we could have gone with it but we were really excited to craft it for Sissy. She seemed so down to earth and so of the world that we were writing about and it really just felt like a great fit for her.

Scheffer: It was kind of against type, too. We told people Sissy was coming on and they all said, oh, she’ll fit in perfectly on the compound. And we said, uh-uh, she’s playing a Washington lobbyist. I don’t think anyone has really seen Sissy like this before. It’s really an opportunity for her to play colors that people haven’t seen from her.

If you are not watching Big Love I suggest you start! It is truly one of the best television shows out there. Season 4 premieres this Sunday at 9 pm ET/PT on HBO.
