Alan Cumming Thought His Performance Was Too Over The Top For Eyes Wide Shut Stanley Kubrick Taught Him A Valuable Lesson In Acting Close Alan Cumming thought his performance was too over the top for Eyes Wide Shut, but then received a valuable lesson in acting from Kubrick. The actor is known for his roles on both the stage and screen, including his Tony Award-winning role in Cabaret on Broadway. In film, he has also starred in the 1995 James Bond movie GoldenEye.
This is one of the most outrageous performances I've ever given. That's me saying that. I was the one saying to Stanley Kubrick,"Oh, that's too much Stanley, I should dial it down." He's like,"No. Go on, Alan. Go for it, go for it." So I was schooled in camp by Stanley Kubrick. Not something that you might imagine.
