Charlie David says coming out as an actor has been "wonderfully freeing..."

Charlie David, who has already finished filming the third season of "Dante's Cove" which premieres next month, is busy filming a movie he wrote and stars in called "Mulligans" about a guy who becomes romantically involved with his best friend's father.
I came across a recent interview Charlie gave to the Victoria Times Colonist via AfterElton.com and wanted to share some excerpts with you:

On coming out professionally in 2005: "It was wonderfully freeing. I wouldn't turn that decision around for anything......"I won't deny it's been helpful for my career to this point. But we also get calls where we're told, 'Oh, no, he can't play the gritty or ugly character' or have the baseness, I guess, that they're looking for."

On "Mulligans: "It's about the family unit. How does family life go on? What decisions does each individual make? How does a wife deal with a husband who has cheated? How does an eight-year-old girl look at her parents and the potential they may be splitting up?"

Writing vs, acting: "I've discovered I get as much joy from writing as acting...We need more stories about love and acceptance, and part of that comes through TV shows and films that can show alternative lifestyles in a positive light."
