[...] Bryan Batt says he doesn’t think Sal has ever acted on his desires. So these little flirtations, these little intimacies, are how he manages. And that tossed off reference to picking out a tie is, to me, a huge hint at what Salvatore’s “gay life” is really like. Tags: Salvatore Romano, The Gold Violin, The Hobo Code Share: [...]

I am just now getting the chance to read this delightful interview. I love this statement that Bryan makes: "I think at this age, to be on Mad Men, itâ€™s justâ€”my cup runneth over! Itâ€™s more than half full, itâ€™s puddling around the bottom."
Now, I must get to Part 2.

Just a heads up, but January was at the Armani party, and boy, did she look stunning in red:

@ #3 Pink:

The answer in one word is…Yes.

I apologize for the delay in getting the remainder of the interview posted. I've had some personal issues that have commanded a great deal of my time. I do have a few minutes this weekend, so I will pour through all three and a half hours of my conversation with Donielle and try to get you something — even if it's not the entire discussion. Again, sorry about the delay.

1. If you're going all D. Lippton on us, I'm hoping we hear BB's favorite swear word in Pt. II

2. He did have that look when the SAG win was called. Heh.

3. Oddly enough, it would probably be fair to call my brother a frustrated landscape architect.

4. We already knew Julie McNiven babysat for RS, now BB… just how much of the cast is involved?

I love your guys’ interviews. Not only are they so much more in-depth and insightful than pretty much any other interviews out there, but Matt and the actors clearly feel very comfortable with you. You are able to elicit things from them that probably no one else can. The best part is that the interviews are all about – gasp – the work! A consistently fascinating read for any good Mad Men fan really interested in what makes this show tick.

Just wondering if you will be posting Donielle Artese Part II anytime soon?

OoooOOOO, what a wonderful beginning and it’s torture waiting for the rest. Ok, maybe not torture, but I’m anxious. The list of topics covered in Part 2 is very intriguing.

This is fantastic, totally worth the wait. It was especially wonderful to read about Batt's own background, which gives a different prespective to his work.
