During her career Chloe Sevigny has played an HIV+ teenager (KIDS), the girlfriend of a bisexual murderer (Party Monster), a trans-teenager's girlfriend (Boys Don't Cry), the voice of Warhol's transwoman superstar Candy Darling (Beautiful Darling), and a 1970s lesbian lover (If These Walls Could Talk 2 pictured right). But now she's working on her southern Irish accent for a miniseries where she'll play "a pre-op male-to-female ->-bleeped-<- assassin" (her words, not ours)—a very cool, edgy role for an actress who made her career tackling roles of different sexualities. But will her miniseries face the same flack that Trans-America did for casting Felicity Huffman instead of a transgender actor?
