After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.

Brian is an archetypal character, a bit like Don Juan, which is how I play him. He’s a blast to play. He believes unapologetically in his freedom. He holds nothing back. Something I’m learning is, you can’t hate the character you play. If I think my character is an asshole, that’s all that will come across. He is drawn in an extreme way, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a person.

Criticism is a surreal state, like a good drug gone bad. When it’s bad you wish it would stop, and when it’s good, you can’t get enough.

Don’t forget who your heroes are, what they mean to you, and why they mean that to you.

Memorial Day

For a while, the gay thing seemed like such a big deal. But now, I don’t think it is. It’s just a comedy-drama about people who live in the United States. It’s a slice-of-life. I play a character-that’s it. But I was well aware of the gay lifestyle before the show. I’ve been hit on in a really strong way by gay men who’ve tried to convert me, and a lot of my heroes are gay. William Burroughs, Lou Reed. Well, I guess Lou Reed is bi. The point is, it’s 2002, gay life is no longer that shocking.

I mean, let’s face it, it’s 2000 and people are beginning to wake up on some level. I think that, as I was saying earlier, there’s just no denying the impact that showing people the truth can have. It allows people to understand themselves, and when you understand yourself you can understand the people around you. And then you can begin to let go of all the bullshit that leads into things like world wars, racism, stereotypes, and bigotry.

I started studying at 26. Before that, I never thought of acting as something that I would ever try.

Acting

Study

Trying

I want to keep developing. I want to become relaxed in my own work and go deeper. Just growing and studying and trying new things and hopefully having professional access to work that’s good and interesting. I don’t want to be on the treadmill of artificiality.

Growing

Interesting

Trying

I’m grateful for all the attention because it validates I’m doing something.

Attention

Grateful

I’m straight, but the character was too important to me to muddle his world with my private life. As a nobody, I got away with that deflection. I think it may have helped to introduce Brian as a believable gay man. Maybe not. However it played, it’s been out of my hands for a long time.
