#HALE APPLEMAN TV#

I basically thought, IвЂ™d really love to play witty, dandy, fantastical, brilliant, aesthetic genius, which basically describes Eliot.

guest stars, and started thinking about what a fuller expression of what I want to experience on film or TV would be. and I was starting to wonder why I was here, auditioning for C.S.I. You said for The Magicians you auditioned for Penny but were cast for Eliot IвЂ™m curious as to how that happened? I am really lucky to have a really great group of people like that. We know each otherвЂ™s strengths and weaknesses-I also have an amazing crew itвЂ™s a group of people that work really hard, that want to be there, so the vibe is really warm and loving and trusting.

There is a level of trust that is really solidified. So you feel really close to the cast and crew on The Magicians? I have established a certain rapport with the crew and the cast, and so there is a lot more trust built into the work at this point, which makes my life a lot easier. On TV, especially the TV show IвЂ™m on, you have only a few chances to get it right. Yes, I would say film is the most forgiving in that sense. IвЂ™m trying to be clear about what I want, what I intend, and what I want to create-and then see what ends up happening and stay open to what life brings.Дo you think film is easier because you can do multiple takes, and you donвЂ™t feel like you have one shot to get it right? Recently I am allowing more room for surprise, and trying to not control too much in my life. So, my life turned in a surprising direction. I got to act with some incredible and seasoned performers and began to really understand how a film was made.

Then I got this movie-it came out of nowhere. I never thought about doing film or TV I thought I would be on stage for my entire life. You have acted in movies, TV, and theatre what was your first love? Growing up I went to lots of plays - Broadway, Shakespeare, and whatever else I could find - to enrich my artistic interests. Hale Appleman: Well, my parents are artists in their own right my motherвЂ™s a modern dancer and performing artist, so I grew up watching all of these wild, beautiful people move their bodies in studios around the Lower East Side. We spoke with Hale about his craft and love of acting, playing Eliot, and the changing landscape of queer representation in Hollywood. Hale Appleman has the charisma and eloquence of a seasoned actor (you may have seen him starring as Eliot in 'The Magicians' on Syfy), but his approachability and charm make it easy to forget that he isnвЂ™t a long-term friend.
