When Krause and I met a few hours before After the Fall's opening performance, I wondered how one actor channels so much pain without letting it sweep him away. How do you turn the emotional spigot on and off when pure bile is running through it? Krause has two answers. One is the practical response of a mature dad who grew up in Minnesota (Krause turns 39 this week and has a 2 1/2-year-old son, Roman): "Sometimes I do what I do just because it's my job." And like any job, getting up at 4 a.m. to shoot...
...lazy, handsome, brilliant, bitter, unscrupulous trust-fund dilettante who--having failed miserably as a drug dealer, gigolo and writer--is rattling around his ancestral mansion in upstate New York, waiting to die. Hugo is a coldhearted bastard, or he likes to think he is, and he spews hilariously venomous bile on anyone who comes within range.

In recent weeks Franken has entertained a future...

Hotchkiss’ suite in a stew of vodka, eggplant parmesan, garlic bread, mozzarella sticks and bile as he went in careening search for the toilet. To the chagrin of Hotchkiss’ roommate, Vito Giuliani Mussolini ’04, Daharpuni had polished off his pre-puke feast with a half tin of salted peanuts, aggravating Mussolini’s severe peanut allergies...
...worked their wiles on the citizenry, who demanded more and more explanation for the war. They cynically linked the conquest of the Scythians with the Athenians’ own genuflective position within the Empire. The traditionally troublesome Greeks took their poisonous words to heart, and focused their bile on Narcissus, who is increasingly isolated...
