He's basically saying he's going full method actor for this role in Angels. He's eating, sleeping and breathing this character.

 

Immediately after seeing Andrew Garfield play the oldest son in Philip Seymour Hoffman's "Death of A Salesman," I saw Garfield slip out a side door of that Broadway theater. He seemed so intense I actually followed him for a few blocks. Garfield kept that same intense look as he blended into the crowd.

 

I was not particularly taken by Andrew Garfield otherwise. As to sex appeal, Finn Whittrock, who played the younger brother, was far more interesting.

I regard Queer Studies as a legitimate field of study that people, not all of them gay, dedicate years of their lives to pursuing, so it's a little trite to suggest that part time self guided study qualifies him to say he's a gay man in all but sex acts.

 

Having said that, this is not particularly different than many other acting gigs, so I think it's really a case where he would have been better off being more mysterious, I'm skeptical knowing that RuPaul helped him key into his character would change my perception of his performance. I've generally enjoyed his performances. If you are ready for a "bleak masterpiece", watch Never Let Me Go.

RuPaul helping anyone other than RuPaul makes me skeptical

 

Yes, the RuPaul answer totally undercuts his credibility.

 

He would be slightly better off watching Viva Pedro: The Almodovar Collection (Sony Picture Classics). He could start and end with Bad Education.

He is acting. He is portraying a gay man on stage. He does not need to take a cock up the ass to play that role. But if he wants to try it out, have him PM me. Otherwise the appropriate response is that he is not trying to understand every gay man or every gay man's experience, he is trying to honestly portray this one gay man's reality, with or without RuPaul's assistance.

Yeah, I'm fine thinking that it's important to his artistic process for him to believe what he said is true. I don't believe it's important for the audience to know that. If I was giving him advice, I would say we don't need to know how the sausage is made, no matter the flavor. ;)

I find his comments trite and more than a little silly. What was his point 1.) to try to appease the gay community by stating just how hard he is trying to understand the gay psyche or 2.) to try to convince future casting directors that although he isn't gay he is certainly trying to get into the part or 3.) in a not too subtle way say "I'm not really gay" both to himself and the general public. As far as I'm concerned he should just play the fucking roll to the best of his ability and kept his fucking mouth shut.

No but I've always had a crush on him...
