Dr Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror? Probably a little role playing before the show to get motivated... I mean Fran N Furter is outrageous, and maybe these little girls thought that was too much to try to play act before the show to get warmed up...
Anyone here been on-stage?
my memory has faded now but I saw it many moons ago in Perth...I think it was Craig too...I am very sad to read all of this as Dr Blake is one of my fav and I have always thought of him as a decent kind of bloke... however when they talk about dual personality...
you do wonder if the Part they play takes over in any way???.....is that a possibility?.....
the part is very raunchy
It can do - interesting idea there, cods, for a film noir about an actor who becomes his role's Mr Hyde...
Most actors are very little like the roles they play really - well, they are and they aren't - but what this sounds like to me as a veteran of a dozen stage plays etc, is the VERY common role playing as I said and the natural inclination of men and women in close quarters to....... co-operate.... things happen.... when you play someone's husband or boyfriend or something, it becomes very hard over time (remember film is one scene at a time and thus each scene passes quickly whereas long-running plays are probably the worst) to not develop the kind of interactions that characters perform on stage... people get to know one another and chemistry happens...
I think this is another over-blown story, and it's becoming a badge of honour to 'out' some famous or well-known person in this way.
In Hollywood such 'outers' would soon find themselves on the outer..... Hollywood is very unforgiving of those who step out of line... look at Kevin Costner after JFK (you don't rock the establishment) or Mel Gibson after the Russian chick and the drunken asking of a cop if he was Jewish (would an anti-Semite really direct/produce the Jesus story in Aramaic?) - both were sent to Coventry to serve out their time.... Mel survived by having his own production company, and Kev because he has some very good friends, such as Robert Duvall.
