Acclaimed actors Hen and Bunny tackled this difficult scene from “The L Word” with sensitivity and care, but found it tough to rein in some of their stronger emotions. “At one point, I just started improvising on the nature of death and mourning,” says Hen. “It was really raw, really moving, but we didn’t have time for all of it. I guess it’ll have to go on the director’s cut.”
