Middle of the week Actor Worship: Cumming and going…

It’s that time of week again. Here comes Cumming:

Most friends of the Little Theatre first took notice of this chameleon when he played the Emcee in Sam Mendes’ groundbreaking 1996 revival of Cabaret. Click HERE to see why they took notice.

Many people my age, however, will remember him from his manic performance as Boris Grishenko in the 1995  James Bond film, Goldeneye.  Click HERE to see him totally flip out. He totally needs those codes.

He was also in Spy Kids. Let’s move on.

My favorite film that featured Alan Cumming is the somewhat indulgent, overacted, most-improvised pet project: The Anniversary Party. To watch an incredible ensemble of actors on the top of their game improvise their way through 100 minutes of digital video is a delight. Click HERE to see the trailer.
Currently, Cumming is filming the bio-pic Dali, based on the life of the surrealistic painter. This will be his second foray into surrealism on film. Click HERE to see the first. You’re welcome.
Have a great Wednesday, everyone,
