Summary
This week, Tommy is joined by actor Max Parker who is one of the break-out stars of the Netflix series BOOTS. Max plays the powerful role of Sergeant Sullivan, who on the surface is tough dude, but in reality there is so much more than meets the eye with this character. Today, Max opens up about how he relates to this complex character, how he’s been waiting to do a powerful queer story, the moments that hit him the hardest when reading the script, why he’s proud to show a darker time in queer history, one of his scenes that absolutely gutted him, why living a publically out life led him to so much more happiness, his competitive disco dancing past, humping Cynthia Erivo’s tongue in a past project, the powerful message he takes away from BOOTS, and so much more.
