10 Questions With ... John Benjamin Hickey

October 24, 2006

If you saw Flags of our Fathers or Infamous over the weekend, then you saw John Benjamin Hickey. He's one of those rare actors who's got a great mix of concurrent roles on stage, film and TV. He's also one of those rare actors who is out of the closet (paging Kevin Spacey). And he's also my very good friend, neighbor, and one of the most fun people I know to hang out and chat with. With two films in theaters, how could I pass up the opportunity to share some Hickey with Andy's Blog readers!?

HI, HICKEY! WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
I'm driving in LA on my way to the movie theater to see The Departed.

WHAT'S IT LIKE BEING DIRECTED BY CLINT EASTWOOD?
The greatest experience of my life! Like being in a room with Miles Davis -- not that I've been in a room with Miles Davis, but that's how I imagine it would be like.

IS HE AN INTIMIDATING MAN'S MAN, OR WHAT IS HIS VIBE?
I wouldn't say he's unintimidating, but that's not because of him, it's because of whatever baggage you bring.

YOU'RE ALSO IN INFAMOUS PLAYING TRUMAN CAPOTE'S KIND OF BOYFRIEND OR PARTNER JACK DUNPHY. WERE THEY BFS? WHAT WAS THE DEAL THERE?
They were partners, lovers, and boyfriends for some 30 years and Jack led his own much quieter life. They had something worked out to where it worked for them, because Truman got around much more than Jack did.
