“One gets the sense while interviewing Tom Hollander that this man was born to play Truman Capote,” writes David Canfield, introducing his frank, exclusive conversation with the Bristol-born actor, who has made something of a specialty out of playing exciting but predatory gay men. First, there was the smiling serpent who snared Jennifer Coolidge in The White Lotus; now there’s one of the title characters in Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, a literary icon brought low by his own actions. Hollander fully transforms in the role, Canfield writes. “But even without the stylish hat or sassy head tilt, without the voice that reaches oh so high, a Capote-esque twinkle still flickers in Hollander’s eyes—a sharply cutting wit, a love for dishy chitchat, a singular way with words.”
