sgornyIn this article, Peter Paige talks about QaF and playing Emmett. The part where he discusses his thought about the other actors is below.
"We as an ensemble are a very interesting group because we’re all very different people. … But as a group, we operate very well because we all sort of compliment each other," says Paige. "Bobby Gant is incredibly detail oriented. He was a lawyer and he has a real mind for detail and clarity. He’s always the one saying, ‘No, no, no, what about this?’ Michelle Clunie is a real emotional tigress. To her the vibe of the group is incredibly important and whenever it gets too out of whack, she’s all, ‘Everybody needs to get in a room!’ Thea Gill is this little angel walking among us. She probably has more of Emmett’s openness than I do. She’s just the most genuine person you’ll ever, ever meet.
"Randy Harrison is pretty much incapable of telling a lie both on camera and off. He’s shy and reserved, but his work is so truthful. I watch him and just think, ‘He will not lie. If he doesn’t believe it, he can’t do it.’ That’s really inspiring.
"Sharon Gless, my god, there’s so much to learn from Sharon, she’s phenomenal. She’s not a mom the way Debbie’s a mom; she’s a mom in the way she has so much more experience than the rest of us. She’s a leader, but she’s also just a light. She’s just a wonderful funny, joyous, irreverent person.
"Gale’s incredible. And Scott and I are probably more alike than other people on the show, which is odd because we sort of play two sides of the coin: self-loving, self-loathing. In real life we’re both equal parts of both and we’re both theater trained, and we really demand professionalism."
I find it interesting that in the entire discussion, the only thing he says about Gale is: "Gale’s incredible." Of course, he is, but the others get much longer discussions, at least a few sentences. I would really like to hear more about what he thinks of Gale.
