At just shy of five feet tall, Melissa Rauch is the perfect height to play a gymnast.
Indeed, her portrayal of a sort of Tonya Harding of the pommel horse in “ The Bronze ” is being hailed as a breakout role for the “Big Bang Theory” actress. A sex scene that finds her character, the aptly named Hope Ann Gregory (an all-American moniker if ever there was one), doing cartwheels and somersaults while engaging in some pretty vigorous coitus has been a highlight of this year’s Sundance Film Festival .
That was the one area where Rauch’s, ahem, proportions proved problematic, particularly as she wasn’t going to be able to pull off the kind of erotic handstands and flips the sequence required.
“We needed to find a stunt double, and gymnasts don’t usually have a chest, so it required a lot of very awkward conversations,” said Rauch, who ultimately found a Cirque du Soleil performer to be her doppelgänger.
The filmmakers behind the low-budget film lucked out when it came to finding a location for the sequence. The motel room they used had handicap rings by the windows that provided the perfect way for the two doubles to stick the landing, as it were.
“I hope years from now people can go to that hotel room and rent it out on their anniversary,” said Rauch.
The sex sequence is so shocking that it’s threatened to overshadow the film itself. That’s no easy feat given that it’s a movie that also contains scenes of Rauch smoking pot and snorting decongestant, pleasuring herself to video of her Olympic medal win and delivering profane arias of insult.
These four-letter filled putdowns were crafted by “The Bronze” star and her husband, Winston Rauch, who collaborated on the script.
“I know that my wife is not playing the first female antihero in film,” said Winston Rauch. “I know there are precedents for that, but we were trying to push the envelope. This sort of thing is commonly accepted in male protagonists who are antiheroes. We wanted to be as honest in this character.”
Director Bryan Buckley argues that Hope Ann’s vulgarity masks a wounded heart. The film finds the former America’s Sweetheart living in her father’s basement, without a job, and engaging in all manner of hedonistic pleasures in an attempt to forget that her glory days are behind her.
“People might talk about the raunch, but we were very precise in the character development,” said Buckley. “She might be calling someone a bloated pussy, but it comes from an endearing place.”
Creating the character also required Rauch to don an Olympic team track suit and some of the most aggressive bangs ever curled for the screen.
“I always loved the tight ponytail with the tight roll of the bangs,” said Rauch. “I’m from New Jersey, so bangs are very important to me.”
Hope Ann Gregory is outrageous, but the filmmakers behind “The Bronze” struggled to ground her story of teenage success and adult disappointment in the real world. The blue-collar Ohio town in which she lives, with its strip malls and vinyl-sided cape houses, is as much a character as anyone else in the film.
“‘The Fighter’ to me was a template,” said Buckley. “Looking at that movie and the way it broke down a town and a character. When I went in to talk to these guys, I said I don’t see this as a comedy. It was designed to be very reality based and really get you into a small town and into that space.”
The recipe worked. “The Bronze” emerged as one of Sundance’s strongest titles, receiving an enthusiastic reception from audiences and, more importantly, securing a $3 million distribution deal from Relativity.
As for the Rauchs, they’re at work on a CBS comedy pilot called “If We’re Not Married by 30,” as well as a feature film script called “The Troop.” That latter project sounds like it mines the same layers of disappointment for comedy that “The Bronze” did. It’s about a crack girl-scout troop whose members grow up to become dissatisfied women and their efforts to put their lives on reset.
It’s a full slate for Rauch, who still has a day job playing a helium-voiced microbiologist on “The Big Bang Theory,” but the couple says they don’t need a lot of downtime.
“We started as writing partners,” said Winston Rauch. “It’s our favorite thing to do together. We don’t have any hobbies.”
Correction: An earlier version of this article misspelled Winston Rauch’s name as Wilson.

Can we all agree that the ideal husband is one who encourages you to hook up with Sebastian Stan, and even helps script scenarios that will allow you to do so? If so, then Melissa Rauch may be the world’s luckiest woman: In this weekend’s new comedy The Bronze, which she co-wrote with her husband Winston, Rauch plays a foul-mouthed former gymnast who gets it on with Stan’s Olympic coach in what is surely the young year’s wildest sex scene. Both characters bring all their athletic prowess to bear on each other, cartwheel-flipping and vaulting into each other’s naughty portions in the most R-rated floor exercise ever conceived. And with each gymnastic thrust, Rauch could count on both Stan and her husband to egg her on.
“Oh, Winston was so game throughout,” Rauch told Vulture recently in Los Angeles. “Anything for the sake of the movie! He would even be like, ‘I think we should do another take of that.’”
“And that was like the second or third day on set for me,” laughed Stan. “I remember thinking, ‘I’m really gonna get to know these people better.’”
So will the audience: While Stan is most famous for playing Bucky Barnes in the Captain America movies and Rauch has a steady job as Bernadette on The Big Bang Theory, The Bronze offers both actors a new way to cut loose, exemplified by the sort of graphic, over-the-top encounter you’d never see in their more family-friendly franchises. “We wrote it as ‘the most crazy epic gymnastic sex scene ever,’ said Rauch. “It really was a porno script, essentially. But Sebastian was so fantastic and he went for so much of it. He could have just said, ‘Have my body double do it,’ and instead he came to set in his robe and said, ‘Okay, let’s do this.’”
Rauch did, too, but for some of the more graphic moments, she selected as her body double a Cirque du Soleil dancer who had no hang-ups about the scene’s wild stunts (or nudity). “Every time I slammed into her,” Stan said, “I was like, ‘Oh my God, are you okay?’ And she was like, ‘Just go for it.’”
“I remember staring at her like a creepy old dude,” laughed Rauch, “wishing that she could body-double for me in every moment of life. At one point, I was like, ‘Do you want a robe?’ and she said, ‘I’m good, you’re gonna see everything anyway.’ And she was literally sitting there legs open, eating a sandwich.”
That’s the sort of unapologetic female behavior Rauch celebrates in The Bronze, where her character, Hope Ann Greggory, is a former Olympic darling desperately clinging to her 15 minutes of fame. Introduced masturbating to a VHS of her Olympic victory, Hope is a self-absorbed misanthrope whose heart has grown only the teensiest amount by the end of the movie — in other words, the sort of comic asshole that men typically get to play, not women.
Rauch ran up against that gendered double standard repeatedly while trying to find financing for The Bronze. “Oh, it was awful,” she said. “I remember we spoke to one producer who said, ‘I would never allow my daughter to talk to me that way,’ and we were like, ‘But we’re not writing this about you and your daughter.’ And we heard, ‘She’s just not likable enough, you need to water her down.’ It was really important to us that we didn’t do that.
“There are so many examples of male anti-heroes throughout film,” she continued, “and there’s not that many women, because there’s this pressure on women onscreen to be likable. And there’s a pressure in life to be likable! This character has been told to act a certain way and be a perfect, likable role, but now that she’s been cut off from that because of her injury, this is her emancipation. She’s gonna rebel against that and eat whatever the hell she wants and say whatever she wants to say.”
And bone whoever she wants to bone — though even Rauch, who’d planned to take part in a second sex scene, had her limits. “There was actually a scene that didn’t make it to final cut where I was supposed to have sex with a creepy guy in a bathroom stall,” she said, recalling her husband’s game attempts to cast that role.
“Winston called me from a Friendly’s and said, ‘I think I found Creepy Guy! He has a wooden tooth and he’s wiping the floor and I got his AOL address!’” Rauch laughed. “I was like, ‘Winston, this guy has to take your wife from behind. We need him to be a trained professional!’”
Hi Carol. Is there even any chance for this to get a release outside of the US? Comedies are not really my thing, but this sounds and looks like fun. And the sex scene really does sound like over-the-top.
I’ve got a feeling though, that I have to wait for the DVD/Blu-ray-release.
I have a feeling you may have to wait for DVD as well, Eeva. I’m not sure they would do a wide release that reaches outside of the US. I haven’t heard of it. Only the release and distribution for the US one.
Well, just have to be patient and wait for that then, but nowadays they release those pretty quickly after the movies hit the theaters. But I can’t wait to see this.
Thank you for running this site, amazing job, my number 1/favorite site for following Sebastian’s career.

“ The Bronze ” kicked off the 2015 edition of the Sundance Film Festival on a foul-mouthed note Thursday, sticking a dagger through the concept of hometown heroes and providing one of the raunchiest sex sequences in movie history.
The scene in question, one that involves pole vaults, cartwheels and pirouettes, was a constant source of amusement during a question and answer period immediately following the film’s premiere at the Eccles Theater.
“Right after this there’s going to be an audition for the sex scene in the sequel,” joked director Bryan Buckley.
Melissa Rauch , the star of the film and its cowriter along with husband Winston Rauch, said, “As for the sex scene, you write what you know.”
Her husband added that it gave the couple a chance to “show you what we do in our bedroom.”
“The Bronze” hit Park City with some of the festival’s strongest buzz. After the screening, some potential buyers huddled together, and the audience laughed loudly at much of the outrageous humor. However, privately some executives were divided on its commercial appeal.
The film centers on a former Olympic gymnast who won a bronze medal a decade ago, but has spent the ensuing years drinking, smoking pot and shirking responsibility. The central character comes off like Tonya Harding with more of an edge and deeper vulgar streak. Sebastian Stan and Gary Cole co-star in the film.
The Rauchs’ said they cooked up the story because bronze medals were “an international symbol of mediocrity.” Melissa Rauch add that she related to her on-screen alter-ego’s fall from favor because whenever she would return to her hometown while on a television show she’d earn free Wetzel’s Pretzels only to have the honor taken away after the program went off the air.
One thing Rauch, who co-stars on “The Big Bang Theory,” wasn’t responsible for was the gymnastic parts of the infamous sex scene with co-star Stan. That was left up to a body double.
“My body never looked better thanks to her,” she said.
