Oh Those Kids!

In 'Blast From The Past,' a comedy-romance about a guy who was raised in a bomb shelter, Foley is cast as Alicia's gay roommate and confidant -- a character-type that's all the rage in movies these days.

But isn't Foley's fellow Kid In The Hall Scott Thompson always ranting about straight guys playing gay? "Scott's just always ranting, period," Foley says. "But he does have a point. You hire straight guys so you can say 'He's just acting, he doesn't really like touching boys.'

"America's a very prudish country. Things that have no impact anywhere else in the world can cause huge upheavals here. Canadians have neither the fear nor the idolatry of sex Americans have. In America, they figure (Kids In The Hall) were all gay anyway. If they weren't why would they hang out with a gay guy, and why would they kiss each other and wear dresses?"
