Initially a guest star, Cumming wowed audiences and quickly became a lead character. He is a quick talker, blunt and doesn’t waste time when it comes to getting his point across. The dishy Alan Cumming (a Peccadillo fave who stars in DARE and ANY DAY NOW) plays campaign strategist and crisis manager, Eli Gold. Alan Cumming (ANY DAY NOW) and Carrie Preston (WHO’S AFRAID OF VAGINA WOLF?) starred in THE GOOD WIFEįor those who love a bit of Alicia Florrick shade (and who doesn’t?), we love that not only do we have one but two stars from THE GOOD WIFE in our films.A harrowing and unpretentious slice of life in the lead up to New York’s greatest tragedy, WTC View is an unapologetic look at what happened in that fateful period. The residual impact of his character can still be felt in many media offices across the world today.īut did you know that Michael also pops up in our 2005 indie drama WTC View, about a young gay man who moves into his apartment in lower Manhattan on the 10 th September, 2001. Though you’d never want to meet him in real life, his bitchy sass was infectious and inspired a whole roster of teenage girls and gayboys to want to be sassy bitches themselves. If you were around in the early 2000s, you fell in love with Mark (played by Michael Urie) from Ugly Betty. UGLY BETTY’s Mark (played by Michael Urie) was in WTC VIEW.So we thought we’d give you a quick rundown – for the uninitiated in the smaller screen – a who’s who of who, if you will, in the telly stars who’ve popped up in some of our more outlandish films. All of us are guilty of pyjama and take-away Netflix binges, nothing better sates the soul. We love cinema, but we’re not snobs when it comes to the smaller screen. Nothing will ever beat that moment the lights go down in the cinema, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! That’s why this summer we’re running a tour of LGBT films in cinemas up and down the UK, to prove to cinemas that there’s a big, hungry, queer audience out there looking for some great independent films to watch.īut something you might not realise is the TV stars we’ve had popping up in our films over the years. I’d recommend watching the whole interview about the film with Doona Bae (Link below), as she expresses with a nuanced thoughtfulness she brings to her acting.Īt Peccadillo – we’re film through and through. She doesn’t have to memorise all her lines verbatim she notes: “while filming when other actors speak to me and say their line my reaction and other actions should be more spontaneous.” This led to her natural and seamless performances, which are immediately evident. She elaborates in her interview about the film why she chose to play the part “Once I read the first few lines, I started to like the script… the first thing that appealed to me was the loneliness “Īlthough she often plays English speaking roles, she connects on a deep level to films shot in her native tongue. Is a quiet but powerful film that gave me the chills the first time I saw it. Although these issues feature in the film, Doona Bae remarks in her interview about the film “LGBT was not the focus of the film but passed by smoothly.” It is a beautifully told story by director July Jung.Īlthough it surprised me that Doona would act in a smaller budget film like A GIRL AT MY DOOR, as soon as I saw it I was blown away. Similarly playing an outsider, lesbian police officer Young-Nam, in A GIRL AT MY DOOR, brushes on many issues, from sexism to child abuse to LGBT issues. She was playing the role of Sonmi-451 a sub-member of society. Watching the great film adaptation of Cloud Atlas, one of my favourite books, I first saw Doona Bae.
