Gil Birmingham Talks About His Guest Role on ‘The Lying Game’
Mr. Gil Birmingham, best known to Twilighters as Billy Black, is guest starring in the role of Ben Whitehouse on The Lying Game. Gil will be in a three-episode arc that started tonight with “Reservation for Two.” Check out the interview with Gil, and catch a glimpse of him as Ben in The Lying Game below:
What can you tell us about your role as Ethan’s father?
Gil Birmingham: Ben Whitehorse is a great character for an actor to play. He’s very complex and multifaceted, with many dimensions.
Who’s the better on-screen son: Ethan or Jacob?
Gil Birmingham: Both are so completely different so it’s hard to compare. Yet both are similar in that a father is trying to connect with his son in a way that makes the son feel understood and loved. I enjoy exploring the dynamic with Ethan on-screen. I think Ben and Ethan are a lot alike in many ways, which is where some of the conflict is developed. I look forward to exploring the chemistry further, delving into what is straining the father-son relationship and can it be healed.
Is anyone on The Lying Game cast a major Twi-Hard?
Gil Birmingham: Not that they’ve confessed to me. The show is the “Lying Game,” so I suspect there are several who are keeping their true Twi-Hard identities a secret.
