Actor Who Played Real-Life Pioneering Trans Character Reveals His Research And Response From LGBT Community<\/b><\/p>\n

\"5404339015_33444c5a96\"<\/a>While conversation about transgender issues has become part of the national dialogue during the past year and people haven’t finally backed off on labeling actors who portray trans<\/a> characters as “brave,” four decades it was quite a different story. In 1975 Chris Sarandon won wide acclaim and an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor for his unforgettable portrayal of Leon in Sidney Lumet’s fact-based Dog Day Afternoon<\/em>, about a frazzled New Yorker (Al Pacino) who aspired to rob a bank to finance sex<\/a>-reassignment surgery for his transgender lover (Sarandon). Sarandon recently chatted with Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/em> about the film, now an acknowledged masterpiece, and his performance.<\/p>\n

When he first auditioned for the role of Leon, based on the real-life Ernest Aron, he was asked to alter his initial interpretation a bit. Lumet told him he was great but he wanted less Blanche DuBois and more Queen’s housewife. “So I came back and did it again, and that was it,” Sarandon recalls.<\/p>\n

As his entree into film acting, Sarandon was cautioned by certain people close to him about playing a trans<\/a> character.<\/p>\n

\"dda\"<\/a>“I admit to people having said that to me,” he revealed. “But it seemed to me to be really aside the point because first of all it was a great script, a great group of people to be working with and a great part. That is the way I looked at it. I said if people are going to perceive me one way or another, I will prove them wrong some other way. I can’t pass up this chance to do this wonderful part.”<\/p>\n

The actor also remembered that he spoke to people in the LGBT communities as research for insight into his character.<\/p>\n

Sarandon told the Times:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

“I had a very close friend who was gay<\/a> and was in a show I had been in. We had remained friends. I said to him, “Do you know anybody in the tranny<\/a> community?” He said, “Yeah.”<\/p>\n

I said, “Is there someway we could set up an evening where I can sit around and talk with some people that you know?” I remember it vividly. I made a spaghetti dinner at his apartment on Barrow Street with three or four [transgender people].<\/p>\n

We sat around and ate spaghetti and talked for four hours. I asked questions like when was the first time you came out in drag? They were truly people who were in the wrong body. It was a real education for me in understanding what the whole transgender world was about.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Asked if transgender people have spoken to him about his performance as Leon in the years since the film’s release, Sarandon says no.<\/p>\n

“It is interesting that has not happened,” he said. “I had a number of experiences where gay<\/a> men<\/a> would come up to me and come on to me quite boldly right after I did the movie. But I was not sought by transgender people because maybe at that time it was such a taboo.”<\/p>\n

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the classic crime drama, Pacino will be interviewed by Brett Ratner before a screening of the film October 10 at the Egyptian Theatre<\/a> in Hollywood and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has just released the 40th anniversary edition of the film.<\/p>\n
