You're only as crazy as I think you are.

I'm pretty sure Alec McClure's been having a tough time finding work since playing Chris Hobbs on Queer as Folk. It's a shame -- he's obviously a good actor [and fecking hot, too]. Since that season 4 episode of QaF, he's been credited for four roles. One per year since 2004. However! I totally just saw him for two seconds in a movie trailer.

Maybe things are looking up for the guy who might've made a wee mistake playing a gay-bashing closet case. [To find him in the trailer, skip almost to the end -- he's a little blurry in the background at 2:10-2:14.]

To be all conclusionary and stuff... hate the character. Not the actor. Mr. McClure was brilliant as Chris[tian? according to TV.com and IMDB] Hobbs. He gave life to the character everyone despised. And while it's not horrendously difficult to hate a character that's so outrageously bigoted and loathesome, it's admirable of Alec to have gone onto the set of a show like Queer as Folk and act his little but off in a way that was completely unlike the rest of the cast, because his character was so far removed. That takes balls.
