Morgan Spector continues to spark conversation with his cheeky takes on artistic collaboration.
The 44-year-old star, dubbed โRailroad Daddyโ for his role in The Gilded Age, made waves at a Los Angeles Times Drama Talk roundtable last year when he described himself as creatively submissive.
When asked about offering suggestions to writers for his character George Russellโs development, the stylish actor explained, โI really am the kind of actor who likes to show up and just do what Iโm told. Iโm very much creatively kind of a bottom, so not really. I think thatโs kind of what Iโm in it for. โPlease tell me what to do and just let me obey.'โ
However, in a fresh chat with GQ Hype, he refined his position, suggesting heโs more of a โservice top.โ
โI like being able to use my intuition and my intelligence to plug into somebody elseโs ideas, learn their language, learn their way of communicating, figure out what the thing is that theyโre trying to make, and then deliver that,โ he shared.
Then, laughing, he added, โI guess itโs more of being a service top, creatively, than being a bottom.โ
Morgan, who isnโt queer and has been married to actress Rebecca Hall since 2015, faced some pushback for โqueerbaitingโ with his suggestive comments. His response? โStraight guys canโt bottom?โ
โI mean, people can play with dominance and submission in heterosexual relationships,โ he pointed out.
โWeโre living in a moment now where weโre exploding ideas of gender. We deconstruct, these things are not fixedโฆ. Itโs theater, baby. Weโre all playing in the same sandbox in a certain way.โ
