Rupert appears as James, a reporter, in the first episode of 6-part comedy-drama The Bisexual.
Alas, Rupert is only in a couple of scenes in the early parts of the episode. James is interviewing Leila (Desiree Akhavan) and Sadie (Maxine Peake) about their personal and professional relationships with each other.
The interview seems pleasant enough, but once James starts directing the photo shoot, things start getting a bit weird … and come to think of it, perhaps it’s just as well that we don’t see him again!
Leila does accuse him of being “so fucking pretty”, so obviously Rupert was cast for more than one reason!
Damn! I just ran across this and thought of you when I fangirled really hard. He certainly plays that awkward humor so perfectly. I just wish there were more roles for him to shine! We should write them, Julie, and then hire him to play them, because honestly, I’m tired of him being given the tiny roles when he should be in the main one!
