Quote of the Day

.

Vulture got to chat with Taylor Kitsch about a bunch of his upcoming projects - mostly it's about Peter Berg's war-movie Lone Survivor (which I just reviewed) - including a brief rendezvous with how proud he was to take off his shirt in that movie (and yeah, he should be) - but then they dive into Ryan Murphy's upcoming HBO adaptation of Larry Kramer's play The Normal Heart and how different a role it is for him to play. Taylor's playing Bruce, the "good face" that's elected president of the ACT-UP-ish organization over the more passionate actual founder Ned (played by Mark Ruffalo in the movie). Anyway here's what Taylor has to say about what a strange world it was for diving into:

"I was born in '81. I had no idea about the whole AIDS epidemic. I'm straight, and playing a gay guy who's leading a double life, who's still in the closet, who's losing his lovers, who has AIDS but won't admit it to himself, who ends up dying … I mean, where do you want to start? Fuck me, dude."

He has more to say, he keeps talking, but I figure that is the exact right place to cut off any quote from Taylor Kitsch.
