Chloe Sevigny explains her new willingness to take on comedy.
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/im-less-of-a-snob-now-20121102-28nnb.htmlYou play a transgender hit person in Hit & Miss. On paper that sounds pretty weird. Did it feel like a stretch to you?
I was afraid I wouldn't be convincing and the [transgender] community might be upset about it because it's a sensitive thing. That was the scariest part for me. Not the outcome or the controversy or what people are going to write about it, because I knew the tone they were going to set. It's so based in reality and the truth of the emotions and relationships that it's not quite as nuts as the synopsis sounds.
How important is it that we see your character, Mia, naked so early in the show?
I think it's good to just get it out of the way. And the way they shot it, it's not gratuitous - it's just kind of there, it's very natural. It's just me getting dressed or taking a shower.
