Yeah, the heterophobes are now dealing what we have had to in pop culture;  Sir Ian McKellen is the homo equivalent of Sean Connery now.

Now, now. It's more like Brian Paddick and Rupert Everett.

Whatever happend to Rupert Everett anyway?  I used to see him in stuff all the time in the 90s.  I thought he was a pretty good actor to.

Anyway this takes me back.  I remember when Marty made this exact same thread when he turned 30.

Last thing I saw him in was the horrible St. Trinian's remake. Wiki actually lists a lot of films I haven't heard of or bit parts. Wiki also says that he's been doing a lot more theater again.

IIRC Rupert claimed that he was effectively blackballed from leading romantic roles.

I remember hearing him whining about how he was persecuted for his gayness.

Yeah that was my perception of what he said as well.

The only type of role he can play...

Yes, I think he is also somewhat waspish and indiscreet - which a lot of people rather like but is not always taken well by people in the industry. There was a piece about him in the Guardian quite recently :

I liked Everett in Cemetary Man (Della Morte, Del'Amore). Weird but funny movie.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Yeah, dude has to pick his venue.  On Languish it's alright to be waspish (garbon), indiscreet (Martinus) or even both together (Grallon).  But nobody is making a career out of Languish, except for maybe Raz.  Don't shit where you eat.

Are Swedes mentioned in the Polish national anthem?

In EU IV they are; unless Poland gets an event to simply become part of greater Sweden.  Then the Poles get to sing the Swedish national anthem with an accent.

Still bummed there was no way to keep the Wasa's on the Swedish Throne in EUII.  It was an outrage.
