Chloe Sevigny covers the August issue of Out Magazine, and she chats about her role on the new DIRECTV drama, Hit & Miss, in which she plays a transsexual assassin.
“Who doesn’t love a challenge?" The 37-year-old actress exclaimed. "My manager called me and said, ‘I got some scripts today, and they’re f*cking crazy. I’ve never read anything like them, and I kinda think you’re going to be into it,’ A little way into reading the first script, I knew I was in.â€
On doing the role justice, Chloe says, “I was worried people would be angry that they didn’t cast a real person who was transitioning, I asked why they didn’t, and the producers said they didn’t find the right person. It’s a big responsibility toward that community, and I wanted to do them right.â€
When asked about her image in the entertainment business, Chloe replied, “Hollywood does not know what to do with me. They do not like me. That’s why I end up in these seemingly difficult movies. That’s what is offered to me, and I need to make a living.†We're not quite sure if we agree with that -- she was brillz on Big Love and she's quite a talented actress!
