Adopt Our Crew - Bluesky Panel Transcript

Post 1 Q: If you're on a desert island and had to bury 5 DVDs, which would they be?  Con: Jaws, Y tu mamá también, Raging Bull, Life of Brian, Sound of Music is the perfect musical film but Wicked is fucking good guys. It's done the impossible - taken something so theatrical and made it work on film.  Post 2 Q: What's your favorite fan theory?  Con: As in fanfic? I don't read them. I started reading on a bus and realized if anyone was reading this over my shoulder, I'd be arrested. With the fanfiction, that's yours as opposed to mine and I don't want to go to hell where most of you are going.  Post 3 Q: There's going to be a sequel to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. What would you want to play?  Con: A vampire. I'd like to play a vampire who enjoys being a vampire, not one riddled with self doubt and hate. If you're going to be evil, be evil.  Post 4 Q: Tell us about a time everything went to shit and you hated it?  Con: There's a play called

Post 5 Q: Who are your favorite standup comedians?  Con: I'm not a big standup fan, it's not my thing. I love a comedian. I love a sitcom. I think Steve Carrell is genius. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are some of the greatest humans who have ever existed.  Post 6 Q: What is an ideal day off for you?  Con: Bed, cuddles, dog walk, bed, cook some food, more cuddles, movie, bed, cuddles. In between all of that there is coffee.  Post 7 Q: Do you have a favorite live gig that you've ever seen?  Con: I saw Stevie Wonder at Hyde Park which blew my mind. Earlier than that, I saw Bruce Springsteen do his gig at Hyde Park and...yeah. That's a god.  Post 8  Q: What sort of a hobby might you take up?  Con: We just decked our garden. My dad was a joiner and I think I have his gift. I'm quite handy with DIY. We might start being a bit more proactive in that. I'm rarely home though so when I am home, all I want to do is cuddle.  Post 9  Q: In honor of pride month, is there a piece of queer media that you really enjoy?  Con: I will always watch anything Russell T. Davies does because I know I'm going to be represented. What Russell does so beautifully is he doesn't make programs about queer shame.

Post 19 Q: In Time Bandits you played the Sheriff of Nottingham. Has #OFMD given you more confidence in playing comedic roles?  Con: Yes, absolutely but what gave me more confidence was having the brilliant directors shouting lines at me. And being in the room with Lisa Kudrow. She's a fucking genius.  Post 20 Q: If your younger teenage self could see yourself now, what would he think?  Con: The first thing he'd say is

Post 24 Q: Now that you're living in LA more, what's one thing you love and hate?  Con: I love the weather and hate the weather. I love the food, the community. I know enough people there to not be lonely. I love Mexican food. It's an experience!  Post 25 Q: What do you think the conversation between Izzy and Jack might have been like when Jack was asked by Izzy to take Ed off the ship?  Con: It would be very drunk and just because Jack says it doesn't make it true. There's a relationship there that's quite complex between those two. #ofmd  Post 26 Q: Did you take anything from set?  Con: I didn't because we didn't know we'd been canceled! Izzy's costume had become so complicated because of the leg. I'm very good about saying goodbye to characters at the end of shoots. If I could have taken anything it would have been the ship. #ofmd  Post 27 And that's a wrap on Con! David Fane and Ruibo Qian are up next.
