Alan Cumming - Actor

Hardtalk speaks to Alan Cumming, the award winning Scottish actor whose chameleon-like talent has seen him play the Pope in a dress, the voice of the devil, a superhero in the X-Men series and a celebrated turn in Cabaret on New York's Broadway. In his personal life he has been married to a woman, is now married to a man, and has suffered a nervous breakdown. Highs and lows are nothing new to a performer but how much were they shaped by the shocking brutality he experienced in childhood?
