On the Set of "Queer As Folk"
The first season of the U.S. version of "Queer As Folk" has wrapped-up shooting in Toronto, and the cast has all left for places that don't have snowstorms in March. Before they left, we caught up with Peter Paige ("Emmett") and Michelle Clunie ("Melanie") on the set of an upcoming episode to talk about their characters, the comparisons with the original British series, criticisms of their "non-gay" leads and accusations of one-dimensional stereotypes. They also touch on what the future holds, both for the show and themselves.
For those rabid QAF fans out there, we've got funky autographed photos of Michelle and Peter to give away to two lucky viewers - watch the show to find out how to enter. We've also got some of the "extra" interview footage here on our web site.
Питер Пейдж и Мишель Клуни сказали много интересных вещей во время нашего интервью на съемках в марте.
Вот несколько клипов.
Огромное спасибо Саше moveforever
