Some thoughts from Uncle Saul

by Terri
Saul

What’s ahead for Uncle Saul? We may have to wait until September 30 to find out, but Best.Gay.Week.Ever.’s Michael Jensen has an interview with Ron Rifkin that gives the actor’s thoughts about the character’s coming out. A few quotes:

  • On Saul being gay: “He’s not gay. Come on — that’s ridiculous. He just sleeps with men. [laughing]“
  • On the value of a good storyline: “One of the TCA’s [TV critics] said to me ‘Your character is on the back burner.’ Actors don’t want to be on the back burner. But TV series are a very living breathing thing and developing a character is a very delicate thing.”
  • On Saul’s character arc: “I just hope it’s not gonna be celebrating young bodies. I’m sure it won’t be, given the level of these writers and with Robbie around. I want it to be complex and I want it to be…I think it’s gonna be a struggle.”
  • On how Nora will react to her brother’s secret: “Obviously, she’s okay with her son. I think she would probably smack him around for having kept it from her so long and having suffered over that.”

Speaking of reactions, Jensen also posts this quote from Matthew Rhys about how Kevin will take the news: “Maybe in total shock. But I almost hope there will be bemusement. I think he’ll be happy for him because I think a lot of things will fall into place and he’ll understand him a lot more. But I think there is just a wealth to that relationship between the two of them. I just hope I get to take him to his first club.”

    I am really looking forward to this SL … I thought it was a cliche when they first started talking about it, but over the summer it has really grown on me.
