Actress Adjacent with Craig Chester

from You Might Know Her From

Special Pride episode with actress-adjacent darling and actor, writer, director Craig Chester. Yes, Craig is only the third self-identified man to be on the main feed—but this is important! We talk to Craig about his place in queer history as part of the New Queer Cinema movement, the impact of his first feature Adam & Steve, and a potential sequel. All that plus, intel from the set of Sex and the City, the truth about his role in The Anniversary Party, and how his life is intertwined with Montgomery Clift's legacy.
