Queer Kid of Color

Two years ago when the first season of Noah’s Arc hadn’t even premiere Darryl Stephens was spilling the beans on the show. Now, he’s spilling the beans on the movie. And, according to him, the film is in danger of being pulled. And he’s pulling no punches when talking about his fellow actors, calling the young girl who plays Kenya “ foulmouthed and evil“. He goes on to write, “She’s here with her father, who is clearly an alcoholic. It’s sad to see how his disease is turning his cute little girl into a monster.” That’s nothing though! He even semi-revealed the plot of the show!

He posted these things on his myspace blog! And, I have it all for you. Here it is, Darryl Stephens blog entry on his hot tranny mess of a movie:
======

Hey everybody. I know I haven’t been very good about checking in, but we have been SUPER-BUSY out here and my Internet access is limited. We’re scheduled to wrap this Friday and things have been going really well…Actually, things had been going okay. Some of you know I got really sick when we first got here. I caught a fierce cold as soon as I stepped off the plane and could barely speak during the first week of shooting. And then during the ski-tutoring, I crashed into Rodney and messed up my hip. He’s fine (even though he’s still insisting that I did it on purpose), but I’ve been walking around with a limp for the whole movie. And the whole “Black Gay Ski Weekend in Aspen” theme has been looking kind of forced, since there are practically NO black extras in this part of Canada. All the big club scenes have been looking more like Irish pubs than black gay parties. It’s kind of whack.And speaking of bars…Merwin flew in from Toronto last Friday to shoot all of his scenes this week. He was clearly pissed about the difference in the U.S/Canadian pay rates and he was being really shitty to everybody. He actually went off on a Logo executive at the pre-wrap party last Saturday. And then before anyone could step in and talk him down, he disappeared. Nobody knew where he’d gone. It turns out, he had gone to some other bar, gotten into a fight with some dude and gone to jail (or a holding tank) for the whole night. When he was finally released Sunday morning, his face was so bruised and banged up, they were scrambling all day Sunday to recast him. (He looks a hot tranny mess.) Monday, yesterday, they still hadn’t recast and we ended up missing that whole day of shooting. Now the production is a day behind schedule. I’m assuming they’ve found somebody by today, but there’s apparently now some danger of Logo pulling the plug on the whole production if we go over-budget at all. And missing that one day of shooting has everyone in a panic. The whole set is in a tizzy. It’s really ugly out here.

And then there’s Shemar. Nice guy. Great kisser. But…He has been flying his girlfriend out every weekend. And when she’s here, he refuses to rehearse. Like, he does not come out of his room. At all. It’s weird. I never talk about people like this, but you all are my friends and I need to get this stuff out. Last weekend, his girlfriend (also a hot tranny mess) showed up with this other dude. Sigh… He has Channing Tatum’s voice and swagger and he looks like a mixed race version of that model Jamie Dornan. He is so fucking…ugh! His name is Ashley. We all saw when transpo drove up with Kelly (I think that’s the girlfriend’s name) to the hotel on Friday. Of course, then they all disappeared like Shemar and what’s her name always do. But on Saturday, Ashley–the dude–somehow ended up at the pre-wrap party. The production had given us all drink tickets… I was a little drunk. So I started talking to him… we kind of hit it off. And then, well, you know… I was drunk! I guess Shemar found out and now he’s PISSED at me. Like, not speaking to me at all. So I have no idea how we’re going to shoot all of our scenes this week, IF we even go back into production. And now Patrik is mad at ME, like I did something wrong. Shemar is really being a little bitch about the whole thing and I wish he would get over himself. I was DRUNK!And then there’s all the recasting. Charles, the guy who is playing Trey in the movie, is sweet. But kind of goofy. And really thin. I mean, I guess it’ll play all right. But the shot I saw of Trey and Alex skiing looked kind of crazy to me. He’s tall and everything, but he’s just super skinny. I don’t know. And he’s Canadian. With that kind of thick Canadian accent. Everything is “going OOTside” and “ABOOT that scene.” He’s nice, though. In that Canadian way…

I don’t know y’all. I was really unsure about the “Black Gay Ski Weekend-Surprise Wedding” storyline from the beginning. Now I feel like it’s just not gonna work. The odds are stacked against us. And I’m still limping! Send us some good vibes and let’s all hope the guy they replaced Merwin isn’t a complete douche bag. I am so over these diva actors.

Oh. And I can’t even talk about the hair extensions. They have me looking like a black, femme Sideshow Bob. And it’s ATTACHED to my head. If it was a wig, at least I could take it off and look like a human on the weekends. Ugh!

This movie is a hot tranny mess.

I’m sure I’m gonna get in trouble for posting this… It will probably have to come down by April 2nd.

xo,

Why is Darryl Stephens acting like this?

Well, you know what they say– Noah’s Arc aint no Christopher Street the series!

UPDATE: IT WAS ALL AN APRIL FOOL’S JOKE– Damn, I’m so gullible.
