From Liz Smith's column in the Feb. 27th NYPost:
Gaggle of types descended on the Tribeca Grand to join fashion's W and Perry Ellis for the third season premiere screening of Showtime's gay soap "Queer as Folk."
Gale Harold, who plays the not-always-likeable Brian, says this offbeat hit is "a work in progress that will never entirely satisfy those who look to it as a reflection of their lives. It can never tell every story completely, nor can it be as complex as its critics hope for."
Considering the graphic nature of some of "Queer as Folk," Gale was asked about his show's big following among straight females. He shrugged: "Why is that a surprise? A big thing with heterosexual men is watching women together. So maybe our show has discovered some new aspect to female sexuality. Can that be bad?"
Gale, who was so effective in last year's Off-Broadway offering "Uncle Bob," hopes to do more work in the theater during his TV hiatus. He also has two movies in the can, so playing "gay" doesn't seem to be hurting this good actor.
I love Gale. Have I mentioned that? Hot and smart. I love how he acknowledges that het women can like watching men together. Thank you. ::grin::
Also - waving hello to my new friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shimmergirl, who (dammit I'm jealous) has actually met Gale. And spent a fair amount of time with him, I might add. I love/hate you Cathie! And she'll hopefully have more news for us soon, as she's supposed to have a walk-on role in one of the last episodes of the season. Can life be any more unfair? LOL
Oh - andshimmergirl has pics from the above mentioned QAF premiere party in her LJ. Can we just get one more "Gale is so damn hot!?"

Date: Friday, February 28th, 2003 03:14 pm (UTC)Am I the official girl you love to hate but love anyway? ;) Roz hates me too. I'm used to it. I'm just glad we're getting to know each other. Sometimes when you see someone's name around the boards it can be intimidating, but I'm happy to say that you're very warm and wonderful. Thank you.
You know you'll be privvy to things along the way. I'm really guarded (and for good reason), but I do like to share things. It's a conflict at times, but I do the best I can.

See... that was sort of what I thought about you at first. I mean, here's this girl who not only had the guts to go to a small event that Gale would be at, but who managed to stay cool and collected enough to have actual conversations with him. And didn't you touch his whiskers? I would have been standing there saying "ummm hi... umm... wow..." or something like that. LOL
I've actually found most people are quite warm and friendly once you get up the nerve to talk to them. My problem is getting up the nerve to talk to them. ::grin:: It is interesting how it often doesn't occur to us that people will think we are intimidating though, isn't it? I'm glad we're getting to know each other too, Cathie. Thanks!
