“There’s so many things that actors can do, but you have to be given the opportunity,” explains Jim Parsons. The Emmy winner was given two opportunities to shine in dramatic roles this year in the Netflix limited series “Hollywood” and the film “The Boys in the Band.” Both projects came from producer Ryan Murphy, whom the actor describes as “very much like an angel and a godfather to me.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Parsons is thankful for his creative “godfather” for offering projects “that I didn’t know I was hungry to do.” In Murphy’s reimagining of the golden age of film in “Hollywood,” the actor takes on real life talent agent Harry Willson. And in the film adaptation of Mart Crowley’s play “The Boys in the Band,” the thespian delves into the tortured mind of Michael, a gay Manhattanite in 1968 struggling to accept himself.
