Beau Sia in Rachel Getting Married

Beau Sia plays Norman Sklear, a wedding czar emcee guy in Rachel Getting Married. He helps plan the rehearsal dinner and wedding with Rosemarie and Anisa George (Emma). It was an unscripted character imposed on the filming by casting Beau — an actor and poet.

Here's a synopsis of Rachel Getting Married
When KYM (Anne Hathaway) returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister RACHEL (Rosemarie Dewitt), she brings a long history of personal crisis, family conflict and tragedy along with her. The wedding couple’s abundant party of friends and relations have gathered for a joyful weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym—with her biting one-liners and flair for bombshell drama—is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.

Filled with the rich and eclectic characters that remain a hallmark of Jonathan Demme’s films, RACHEL GETTING MARRIED paints a heartfelt, perceptive and sometimes hilarious family portrait. Director Demme, first-time writer Jenny Lumet, and the stellar acting ensemble leaven the drama of these difficult but compelling people with wry affection and generosity of spirit.
