TRANSCRIPT OF RANDY HARRISON INTERVIEW WITH FRANK DeCARO on SIRIUS-XM
Part 1
(Randy’s words are in red)


I want to welcome to our show someone who we’ve been a fan of ever since he burst on the scene in the groundbreaking show, Queer as Folk, Mr. Randy Harrison. Randy Harrison is with us and he’s in a new musical, Atomic. Randy, how are you?

Hi, guys! Thanks for having me.

I’m so pleased that you could be with us.

My pleasure. I’m sorry you’re not here. I wish I could see you.

Well, I lost fifty pounds since I last saw you but other than that....

I didn’t think you had anything to lose.

Oh, you’re sweet! Don’t! You’re not a chubby chaser. Stop it! So Randy, I’m so pleased— I was like... Tell me about Atomic. I was so surprised when I saw the poster and I thought, there’s a musical for the Manhattan Project? And it’s a musical?

It is!

Tell us about Atomic.

It’s a rock musical about the Manhattan Project, about the creators of the atomic bombs, specifically Leo Dilard’s story. He was one of the scientists who created it. He came up with the nuclear reaction and then he was one of the scientist’s who started a petition to prevent it from being dropped. Cause they thought it was just going to be used as a threat. They didn’t think it would, you know, actually be dropped. So it’s a really fascinating story.

That’s great. So how long, when did you go into the show?

God! Uh, I guess we’ve been rehearsing, I’ve been working on it for two, two and a half months maybe? It had an Australian production and then they got these producers involved to bring it to New York so I’ve been involved since this New York production started, started rehearsing.

And was musical theatre, was that your original background? Was that what you intended to do before Queer as Folk, because we all know you from Queer as Folk.

I know. I grew up doing all kinds of theatre. I always sang. I’m not a dancer, but I sang and acted, and I actually did go to school for musical theatre in Cincinnati. But I got really kind of burnt out with it by the time I graduated from school and avoided it for like, God, seven years or something. I did Wicked, maybe toward the end of Queer as Folk, maybe right after we stopped shooting. Um, and that was the first musical I did probably in six years at that time. So I do it off and on.

Did you do Wicked on Broadway?

I did do Wicked on Broadway, yeah.

Who’d you play in Wicked?

I was Boc, the munchkin, who turns into the Tin Man. Now I’m actually too tall. It was sort of at the beginning of the show, so now they have a height cut off but at the time, they hadn’t clarified that, so I was probably the tallest munchkin.

Laughter.

One of the many groundbreaking things you’ve been part of!

I know! Tall munchkins, sex on tv. I’m blazing trails.

You are definitely! I, uh, since we went to that naughty place there—

I’m sorry.

Uh, no, it’s good! Which anniversary are we at with Queer as Folk? Wasn’t it just like—

It started airing.... I think we’re close to the tenth anniversary of it going off the air? Cause it started in 2000, I think. And so it ended in 2005, 2006.

Cause if you follow folks on Twitter who’ve been on Queer as Folk, there’s still so many saying, ‘Please make a movie. Make a movie!’

Oh, yeah! There’s a huge fanbase, especially abroad, which is interesting. I think it’s sort of spread across the Atlantic.

Would...do you think...I’m of the mindset that when you’re first, you don’t get the credit, necessarily that somebody who came after did. It was really groundbreaking.

It was. It was really groundbreaking. There’s still nothing quite like it.

And other than the dildo falling and breaking the fax machine, which is my favorite story ever, that anyone told me about, was it a really good experience?

Laughter.

Well, I always tell that story because when I was up there before... remember it was before it premiered.

Right, right. You were like my first interview ever, weren’t you? I mean....
I think so.

Yeah.

It was pretty crazy. But I just remember everyone talking about the dildo that broke the fax machine, and they were like, no dildoes within ten feet of the fax machine!

Laughter.

So I remember that. Uh, um, someone stuck it to the wall and it broke the fax machine.

Right.

That was the way it went. But, um, was it a very positive experience for you?

It was. It was really positive. There’s nothing like it, especially I mean, the farther I get away from it, and the more experience I have, the more I realize what a rare sort of opportunity it was. Um, and it was such a joyful set. It was such a crazy group of lovely people. And I think because most of us were in Toronto and most of us were displaced, we sort of bonded, sort of made a family up there. It was wonderful.

I was gonna say, you guys called it Planet Queer as Folk because it wasn’t really even in Toronto. I mean it was that soundstage away from Toronto, so you guys really were on your own, doing your thing.

In Etobicoke. Yep. We were, we were. There was sort of like this bubble outside of the real world and I think we all knew we were a part of something that had never happened before, that was unique and appreciated that opportunity.

And you’re...it must have its.... It must be nice to know that it has a rosy glow, looking back on it. This was kind of a very special, important thing that happened in television.

It does. It does have a rosy glow. (Laughs) It had less of a rosy glow five years in when you’re in the middle of it, but now it’s—

Um, yeah I would think that. Uh, do you make your home in New York? You do, right?

I always have, yeah. I had just moved here when I got Queer as Folk . So then I was, my first five years in New York were spent six months of the year in Toronto and the rest of the time I was here.

And is that...do you.... Would you prefer that, to say, oh, I’ll go out to L.A. or—

I just love New York. I’m a New Yorker. I always wanted to live here. I always loved it when I was here before I lived here. And I’ve always loved living here. I come out to L.A. periodically to work or to audition or to have meetings. I would be happy to move to L.A. temporarily if a job brought me there, but I wouldn’t just go looking for work. Whereas, here I can live no matter what I’m doing.

And how is, how are you guys doing with Atomic? Is it eight performances? How many performances a week do you do?

Yeah. Yep, eight shows a week. Eight’s rough, I think.

It’s standard. It’s totally standard. I can’t think of a time when I didn’t do eight shows a week.

But isn’t it true that the only thing...when one is in a musical, all you do is be in that musical.

It’s kind of true. Yeah. It really, really affects you know, the way you spend your energy during the day, the amount you sleep, if you can go out, what you eat, what you drink. I mean your whole sort of schedule revolves around the three hours that you’re going to have to be on stage.

We’re talking to Randy Harrison. He’s appearing in Atomic, a brand new musical that’s off-Broadway at the Acorn Theatre on Theatre Row on 42nd St. And it was an Australian musical and it’s about the Manhattan Project, of all things.

All things.

Now what’s your character, tell us about your character.

I play two characters—I play Paul Tibbets who was the captain of the Enola Gay, which was the plane that dropped the first bomb. Um, I play him sort of before he joins the Army and then right when he drops the bomb. And then I also play Edward Teller, who was one of the younger scientists on the project at the time, and he ended up going on to creat the Hydrogen Bomb. He was a huge advocate for having a big nuclear arsenal, areally conflicting character. Um, so I play those two guys.

Doesn’t it seem like an odd idea for a musical?

It’s a very odd idea for a musical. (Laughs) It works really fascinatingly, though, I have to say.

Does the offbeat nature of it, was that something that really appealed to you?

Um, what appealed to me the most was that I didn’t know the story. I knew about the bomb but I didn’t know about Leo Szilard. I didn’t know that he spearheaded like a huge petition to get scientists to stop it, and that he went on to um, use radiation to treat cancer. He pioneered that innovation after he made the bomb because he felt so guilty, and he wanted to do something positive with his breakthroughs. So I thought that was fascinating that I didn’t know that story. I thought it was a story that should be told, that people would be interested in hearing.

Is it lighthearted at all or is it pretty serious?

No, it definitely has comic moments. It has some really funny things about it, but ultimately it ends on a note that’s questioning you know, what we did and about responsibilities, cultural responsibilities. It’s tough to take at the end, I think.

I was gonna say, when you hear the title, Atomic, my first thought was the Debbie Harry Blondie musical. And it’s so not that!

Is there a Blondie musical? Because there should be.

There should be. I know. You’re blond. You could play her. It’d be wonderful. I’d love to watch that.

(Randy laughs)

You did a film that people are talking about called, Such Good People with Michael Urie.

Yes.

Tell us a little bit about it. Doria has seen it. Tell us about it.

Um, it is like a caper comedy that Michael Urie and I shot last summer in L.A. It’s very funny. It’s um, it’s about a young Los Angeles couple, married gay couple, who sort of house-sit for people and find a bunch of money and all these sort of escapades that follow when they try to sort of steal it and then they have a guilty conscience and try to take it back and try to donate it and you know, it was really fun playing with him. It was a real joy.

Well, the two of you, I mean that’s such a good match-up that it seems like an awful lot of fun.

I know. And we met in New York a bunch, did readings together and I knew his partner. We worked together in the Berkshires but we never got to play off each other like that, so it was exciting. It was a fun time.

That’s good. So, do you know how, when it’ll be released?

I don’t know. I know it’s doing the festival circuit right now. It’s been playing at festivals but I don’t know any distribution details or release details yet. I don’t know if it’s happened.

Aren’t there a lot of other fun people in Such Good People?

Yeah.

More than just you and Michael Urie? As if that’s not enough.

Yeah, James Urbaniak is in it and he’s hilarious in it. Carrie Wiita is in it. There’s a whole bunch of really talented people.

Is our Lance Bass in it?

Lance Bass is in it. He was so fun to work with. There’s tons of cameos from a bunch of wonderful L.A. comedians and actors.

We’ll definitely keep an eye—

Yeah, it’s—

Now how long— Sorry, go right ahead.

No, no, no. Go ahead. I haven’t seen a cut. I want to see it. I’m excited. I don’t think I’ve seen it in a while, not the version that’s playing in the festivals, the final cut. I’ve been entrenched in Atomic.

Randy, you’re not in it any more. I hate to tell you.

They cut me out! They cut me out! (Laughs)

They told you it was the lead role but it hasn’t worked out as well. That’s the way it goes. Now, with Atomic, how long is it running at the Acorn Theatre?

We have about a month left, until the middle of August.

RANDY SIRIUS-XM TRANSCRIPT PART 2:

And what’s coming up after that for you? Do you know?

I do not know yet. I don’t know. Auditioning.

Are you good with that? Or are you like Joan Rivers with an empty calendar? Does it freak you out, not knowing exactly what the next thing is?

No, it doesn’t freak me out any more. I’m good at it now. The empty calendar usually doesn’t last very long, and I have like, a million hobbies to occupy my time.

Like what?

Oh my God! Everything! Like I’m always in class for something or other. I’m like learning how to sew, I’m learning how to cook. I’m just always doing things. Um, so I’m okay with an empty calendar.

I think sewing is rough. I’m sort of like, ‘well the button fell off the duvet. I’d better take it in to the dry cleaner to put the button back on.’ I think anybody should be able to—

But you can tell. Anything that I did myself I mean, it’s like glaringly obvious. ‘Oh, Randy, you fixed that yourself, didn’t you?’ It’s like knotted and weird looking.

Well, you could say it’s top-stitching or something. Just make it seem like it wasn’t intentional.

It’s very homemade to do it yourself.

It’s Etsy. We’ve gone Etsy. So are you learning how to cook? What kind of stuff do you do?

All of it. I mean I cook. I learned how to sew. I go through sort of periods of suddenly getting obsessed with some specific craft project or activity and then it falls away, you know, after a few months of it. So for a while, the sewing machine was out like all the time and I was just watching Project Runway and like trying to make things, and there are scraps all over the house. And then you enter in rehearsal for something and you pack everything away, but it will come out again in a year.

Bring it back out there and you’ll just stitch it up and go. It could be a whole new thing.

Right. Right.

It’s like, what do you do? Well, in the evenings, I’m in a musical about the Manhattan Project. During the day, I’m making—

Drop crotch pants and sweatshirts that I won’t leave the house in, but I wear. I haven’t made anything that I wouldn’t leave the house in from scratch. I’ve hemmed pants—

How do you make drop crotch pants? Have you made drop crotch pants?

Um, I’ve attempted it, yeah. They didn’t last very long, but they were good pajama bottoms for about a month.

I have a little trouble with the hammer look coming back.

They’re comfy in the house, though. They’re really comfortable.

Maybe I’ll try it. So, should we follow you on twitter and stuff? Do you tweet?

Yes! I don’t tweet that often, but I am on twitter. There was already a Randy Harrison so I had to come up.... Well, I was very, very late to the game as far as twitter is concerned.

That’s okay. Well, we’ll follow you on there. I don’t like when someone tak—You know, it’s sort of.... I think you should just write them: ‘Dear Randy Harrison who doesn’t have the 01, I am Randy Harris—'

You know, there are like real other people with the same name as me. Although, I don’t know who that ‘Randy Harrison’ is. I haven’t really looked at their twitter page.

I’d know everything about him! (Laughs)

I used to be like that—

I would find out and I would say, ‘why do you have....’ No, I had to be ‘frankdecaroshow’ because someone else—

Someone was Frank DeCaro? Was he imitating you or was it just a completely other Frank DeCaro?

No. He said I’m heterosexual. I’m not the radio guy. And stop accusing me.

Leave me alone. I used to do research and get like, interested in that, but I feel like it’s really unhealthy to be too curious about people imitating you or talking about you.

I think you’re right. I agree with you, but I can’t take that to heart. Randy Harrison, thanks so much for being with us. Atomic continues at the Acorn Theatre on Theatre Row through mid-August at least and so we’ll definitely check that out. Thanks for being with us and people can go Telecharge to get tickets. We’ll put more information up on our Facebook page. Randy Harrison, come back and visit us any time.

Showtime would make a 'Queer As Folk' movie if there's 'a compelling reason'

By Terri Schwartz
Jul 18th, 2014

There has been a push to make a movie version of Showtime's "Queer As Folk," and Showtime president David Nevins tells reporters at the 2014 TV summer press tour that he could be interested in "if it's a great idea."

"No one's ever pitched it to me, but if it's a great idea, a compelling reason to do it, it's always possible," he says during a group interview.

Nevins also is still interested in Russell T. Davis' "Cucumber," which Showtime was initially attached to in 2011. The show is currently being filmed for Channel 4 in the UK with a planned 2015 premiere date.

"He is doing a show right now which sounds really interesting to me, which has been advertised," Nevins says. "It's in the BBC as 'Queer As Folk' 20 years later."

Gale Force
Журнал Flaunt, февраль 2002 года.
"Gale Force" - интервью Гейла Харольда.
Автор: Карен Рабиновиц

Гейл Харольд боится признаться в том, что он натурал. Невозможно роскошный актёр, которому 31 год, играет Брайана Кинни, страстного, одержимого сексом, укладывающего в койку по пять парней за неделю, в сериале Queer as Folk, где анальный секс разрешён и речь идёт о геях. С тех пор, как начался сериал, миллионы мужчин-геев (и женщин) насладились видом его обнажённого тела – от паха до сахарных губ. Ему отсасывают в ночном клубе, он лишает невинности 17-летнего мальчика и целуется взасос с десятками парней – это самый откровенный показ отношений между мужчинами, какой когда-либо можно было видеть на телеэкране (не считая «Соблазнить рядового Райана»).

Поэтому первый вопрос, который я задала, когда мы встретились морозным днём в баре старинных вин в Вест Вилледж, разумеется, был – «гей или натурал?»

Он откусывает кусочек козьего сыра и указывает на мой диктофон, жестом требуя выключить его. Мы сидим в тишине. Его ноги в коричневых ботинках с квадратными носами покоятся на подоконнике, он смотрит в сторону и размышляет.

«Я не могу придумать, что делать с этим вопросом. Большинство геев, с которыми я работаю, уверены, что я натурал, так что…» Снова молчание. Он отпивает мерло и наконец продолжает: «Это забавно. Нет, просто… смешно пытаться ответить на этот вопрос». «Но вы не ответили», - настаиваю я. Снова молчание. «Я натурал. Я вынужден это открыть. Полагаю, я просто обдумывал, какому изданию я должен это сообщить», признаётся он наконец, словно быть натуралом – это преступление. И девушки у него нет.

Харольд на вид парень как парень. На нём чёрные джинсы Levi's, шерстяная вязаная шапка с нашивкой в виде кобры, чёрный свитер с V-образным вырезом, кожаный браслет на запястье, а на внутренней стороне среднего пальца татуировка, слово RESIST. Он не хочет обсуждать её. «Не будем об этом».

Однако о своём пикапе Харольд говорит с любовью («наконец-то он мне по карману», замечает он). Прежде чем прославиться на кабельном ТВ, он три года был разнорабочим, строителем и плотником в Лос-Анджелесе. Полтора года он проучился в Американском Университете с футбольной стипендией. Он помешан на итальянских мотоциклах. И будь тому причиной затяжка травкой перед нашим интервью, как он признался, или его южное воспитание – но в нём есть спокойствие и приятная расслабленность, напоминающая мне Мэтью Макконахи.

Он выпускает дым сигареты «American Spirit» и рассуждает, по моему требованию, о разнице между поцелуем с мужчиной и поцелуем с женщиной: «Целоваться с мужчиной… это более животное ощущение. С мужчиной есть такой первобытный драйв, ты это чувствуешь в ту же секунду, когда начинаешь целоваться. Это намного грубее и примитивнее, чем целоваться с женщиной. Женщины не торопятся. Это скорее игра. Это не бешеный порыв, чтобы получить разрядку. И целуясь с мужчинами, у которых даже после бритья очень грубая кожа, я заработал жуткие *бип* ссадины на лице».

Хотя большинство мужчин-натуралов, вероятно, продолжали бы говорить о том, как им трудно целовать парней одного за другим, пусть и ради искусства, Харольд ко всему этому относится очень пофигистично. «Какое-то время гейская тема казалась таким большим делом, но теперь, мне кажется, это уже не так. Это просто комедия-драма о людях, живущих в Соединённых Штатах. Это срез жизни. Я играю персонаж – вот и всё. Но я прекрасно знал о жизни геев и до этого сериала. Ко мне клеились мужчины-геи, очень настойчиво, пытались меня «обратить», и многие мои кумиры геи. Уильям Берроуз, Лу Рид. Ну, думаю, Лу Рид бисексуал. Суть в том, что на дворе 2002 год и жизнь геев уже не кажется такой шокирующей».

Но некоторые вещи, которые новый телевизионный любимчик наблюдает на съёмочной площадке, вполне, гм, могут шокировать. «Эта *бип* кругом! Я, бывает, иду по площадке, ем пончик, а вокруг 30 мужчин-геев катается. Это вообще ужасно смешно», - говорит он, добавляя, что не возражает против того, чтобы быть сексуальным объектом перед камерой. (В одной из сцен Харольд медленно раздевается, льёт воду себе на голову и спрашивает молодого паренька, идёт он или уходит… или кончает, а потом уходит… или кончает и остаётся.)

«Я думаю, это хорошо, что мужчины становятся сексуальными объектами, потому что женщины были сексуальными объектами с незапамятных времён. Мы восстанавливаем равновесие, потому что так долго на ТВ и в кино игра шла в одни ворота. Еще одна хорошая задача сериала в том, что он показывает мужские чувства. Всё-таки для них это не один только секс и ничего больше», - философствует он.

Он прав. Сериал не только о сексе. Он еще и о – скажем так – оральном сексе, который приносит нам, людям, радость.
