- [speaking about his role in the 1992 movie Death Becomes Her] I play gay Eurotrash in that one. I was actually surprised to get the role because I wasn't working in big movies then. I was doing episodic stuff like Murder She Wrote and Murphy Brown. It was a very nice cameo. While we're shooting the scene I have with Meryl Streep early on in the movie, I asked her 'Would you mind if I touched your hair?' And she said, 'Ian, this is your scene. I just react to you. Do whatever you'd like.', which was very generous of her. Very nice lady. And when I did the big ballroom scene, she said, 'Ian! Come over here! Come and meet Goldie and Bruce!'
