Jeffrey Tambor

I get a singular comment that's very revealing: "I didn't know what to expect. " Every time I hear that I think it's really just code for, "I wasn't sure I'd be comfortable with you in this role," which I understand coming from Oscar Bluth and Hank Kingsley and whatever. But I think there's a degree of, "Oh, okay, this is how it is. " Then almost always people tell me that they love it and then people start talking to me about their families, whether it's transgender issues or not.
