Out actor Russell Tovey described
himself as an Americanphile who loves diners in a The New York
Times profile.
The 34-year-old English actor is best
known in the United States for playing Kevin Matheson in the HBO gay
drama Looking.
Tovey currently stars in Arthur
Miller's A View From The Bridge on Broadway, which is where
the Times caught up with him and his bulldog Rocky.
“I'm an Americanphile,” Tovey
told the Times.
“I love a diner. For me, It's like being in Home Alone or
something.”
“I think I'm a pretty basic bitch
when it comes to having a postshow meltdown moment, of having to
release,” he said. “I'm really not one of them guys who's like:
'I can't sleep. I'm buzzing. I have to go out, I need to drink
whiskey! I need to go to the bar where everyone's out and, like,
network.' I want to go home and catch up on Netflix.”
Tovey added that he “gets blushy”
when he finds someone attractive. “But I fight that,” he said.
