Jeremy Strong recently told the Los Angeles Times that “it’s absolutely valid” to criticize straight actors for playing gay characters, although he also strongly believes that it’s an actor’s job “to render something that is not necessarily your native habitat.” Strong stars as Donald Trump’s mentor Roy Cohn in “The Apprentice.”“Yes, it’s absolutely valid,” Strong said about the criticism. The debate over whether or not straight actors should play gay roles has been a consistent one in Hollywood over the last few years. “I felt a sense of uncertainty sometimes about whether I’m taking up someone’s space, and perhaps guilt. “An actor is an actor is an actor. That’s the whole point of it.”Read Strong’s full interview with the Los Angeles Times here.

I felt as if this might be the closest I’d yet come to really tasting ají amarillo, its frank optimism, its essence as a fruit. The ají amarillo sauce was frozen into a shimmery yellow dust that turned to leche de tigre on the plate.
