'Transparent' Associate Producer Rhys Ersnt Talks Advising The Series On Trans Issues<\/b>
\n“Transparent” is not only the best new television series<\/a> to premiere this year; it’s also exposing complicated issues of gender and sexuality<\/a> to a mainstream audience. To achieve such a trans<\/a>-positive show, creator Jill Soloway stocked her staff with transgender cast and crew to keep the series truthful, and that includes associate producer Rhys Ernst and his collaborator Zachary Drucker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ernst joined HuffPost Live’s Spoiler Alert<\/a> on Friday to discuss advising “Transparent” during its first season. Check out the video<\/a> above to see Ernst discuss his work on the show, including taking Jeffrey Tambor to a bar dressed up as his trans<\/a> character for the first time and why the writers changed their minds about including a cross-dresser camp in the first season. <\/p>\n
