Does being gay in Hollywood mean no leading roles?

...d hit a new low when he was sent the script for My Best Friend's Wedding and saw that the character they wanted him to play had three lines and was introduced as "George, a middle-aged gay man, sits...in a very military, naval family. It [homosexuality] was just unthinkable, so I guess you have to be sympathetic. It's very difficult for people to change." So, how did you come out to them? "I never ...

"No," Eugenides responded thoughtfully, "and maybe I should be more sympathetic, but I think I will just go back to bed." . . . And then the next morning, he ...

Without Denouement

... past the first sentence of the formal letter. It had gone into the shredder. Fortunately, Nichol had his robotic skills and machines could be used to build as well as tear down. Quatre had been sympathetic and kept rehiring Nichol for additional projects until Nichol realized he hardly spent a day that wasn't in the younger man's company. Then the days had gone long into the evening. "Let's get ...

Bloodprint by Kitty Sewell

...éd characters and equally clichéd scenarios. Madeleine is a self-absorbed, somewhat pathetic character who’s never recovered from the death of her husband in an opening scene ... other than to keep the plot moving and he comes across as a Z-list Hannibal Lecter. The only sympathetic character is John, the gay psychotherapist who pops up now and again to give Madeleine a sounding board. The plot ...

November Reading List

From slightly cold and arrogant at the beginning Sylvester becomes a sympathetic character you can't help falling in love with, and Phoebe is adorable... doing all sorts of out-of character things, like barging into a meeting in... explanation would have been helpful. Every character is a cliche from fantasy movies ... left off, after Dee, the main character from Lament, and her best friend ...

Planet 51

Fortunately there is a sympathetic character in the high school kid Lem (Justin Long) but while the high school kids being the only sensible people is a 50's monster-movie trope, with the exception ...

Emma 2009 BBC adapation

... as if Romola Garai who played Emma was channeling Alicia Silverstone's bubbly-ness in some of the scenes. Emma is definitely a more sympathetic character as reimagined by writer Amy Heckerling, in the character of Cher in Clueless . I think because Cher is kinda ditzy but well intentioned, whereas Emma in this ...

Review: Lustrum by Robert Harris

... the perspective of those who opposed him, who fought for the Republic. Caesar, here, is not a sympathetic character, but shown as a political mastermind, cold-blooded would-be dictator, ruthless in his pursuit of power....-known persona to life with deft, human touches and an eye for character rather than dealing in archetypes. Once again the book is written from ...

Episode Discussion - Remembrance

...throwing a football with Bud, who is clearly not Jim’s father, since we pretty quickly get young Jim mentioning, with disappointment, that his father probably won’t be present for the big game. Bud is sympathetic, and they talk about football, and then Bud tells young Jim, “Sometimes you hold back. It’s as though you’re afraid to trust yourself”. We see young Jim using his senses (hearing, smell...
