Get to know the filmmaker:
What motivated you to make this film?
I was inspired by the story of Kevin Conroy, who remained in the closet for most of his life, and found it very interesting the way he played a superhero character who had a secret identity of his own, and suddenly it clicked, a light bulb turned on and I could feel a story coming to me. It also helped that I was really bored over my summer break so I essentially locked myself in a room, threw away the key, and started writing the first draft of the script.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
It all made sense to me, the sound issues were also apparent to me, but to be entirely honest I kind of just got tired of trying to make the film exactly perfect and figured it was better to release it now or otherwise it will just never get released, and the time I spend trying to make this slightly better could be time I spend on the next project. Overall, I’m happy with how the film turned out.

QUOTES:
I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.
I don’t want to do anything that I’m not passionate about.
Success, and even life itself, wouldn’t be worth anything if I didn’t have my wife and children by my side. They mean everything to me.
I have no problem with nudity. My friend Ewan McGregor and I are starkers in most of our films.
I think it’s a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.
[on his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)] I told Anthony that if I play Dickie Greenleaf, I want to eat in the best restaurants and drink the best wines every night because he would.

QUOTES:
If I had my way everyone would be in a 12-step program.
Smoking is a great prop. It’s a great prop in life.
Acting is pretending that you’re not pretending when you’re actually pretending.
I am the king of the faux pas. I call everybody by their wrong name, and I congratulate women who are not pregnant. I’ve done so many awful things by mistake, and usually it’s things that make me look totally foolish.

QUOTES:
I always thought of Pride and Prejudice (1995) as more of a romantic comedy than a period drama. It just happens that they were the clothes people wore when it was written.
[on trying to fit in after moving to Britain from America] There were a few days when I was having trouble finding words to express feelings of enthusiasm. But when I discovered “brilliant”, I was fine.
[nudity in her first role] I wish I’d not taken off all my clothes in my first television series, The Camomile Lawn. When I took the job, I did not realize there would be so much nudity. But no one forced me to do it. I played the young Calypso (her English actress mother, Rosemary Harris, played the character as an older woman) and had some very full-on scenes. I went home one day and was physically sick.

QUOTES:
[on growing up with a Christian father and Jewish mother] My mother, God love her, is a very proud Jew and would always make sure we knew we were Jewish. I remember being 6 years old and her saying, you know you guys are Jewish. If Hitler came today he would take you…
I enjoy doing drama, and I enjoy doing comedy equally.
I always wanted to play a mental patient. I was fascinated with playing crazy people in college, and I don’t know if I ever quite perfected it.
A lot of people come to Los Angeles and think that they’re going to be famous, just like that.
