[转载]QAF在WiKi百科全书

刚才本来在Wiki上查别的东西,顺便就查查了QAF,里面有些关于QAF介绍还蛮有意思的。因为
国内(大陆地区)好像对wiki封ip,禁止访问,所以我干脆就直接转载过来。因为wiki是开放性自由源百科全书,直接转载
应该没问题。

The following paragaphs quoted from WIKIPEDIA.

Queer as Folk was an American/Canadian television series co-production, produced by Showtime and Temple Street Productions, which was based on the British series of the same name created by Russell T. Davies. This US version of Queer as Folk used various Canadian directors known for their independent film work (including Bruce McDonald, David Wellington, Kelly Makin, John Greyson, Jeremy Podeswa and Michael DeCarlo) as well as famed Australian director Russell Mulcahy (Highlander) who directed the pilot episodes. The head writers were Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman who were also the executive producers of the series along with former Warner Bros. Television president Tony Jonas. Other writers in the later seasons included Michael MacLennan, Efrem Seeger, Brad Fraser, Del Shores, and Shawn Postoff.

General description
This series was the story of five gay men who lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Brian, Justin, Michael, Emmett, Ted; a lesbian couple, Lindsay and Melanie; and Michael's mother Debbie. Another main character, Ben, was added in the second season. Due to tax incentives, the series was filmed in Canada, with frequent location filming in Toronto's Church and Wellesley gay village.

The show was noted for its somewhat frank depiction of gay lifestyles and sex. A disclaimer, "Queer as Folk is a celebration of the lives and passions of a group of gay friends. It is not meant to reflect all of gay society" appeared after each episode on Showtime in the U.S. but this disclaimer was not broadcast on Showcase in Canada (instead, the standard Showcase disclaimer "This program contains nudity, sexuality and coarse language -- viewer discretion is advised" was broadcast before each airing and after each commercial).

The title of the show comes from a dialect expression from some parts of Northern England, "there's nought [colloquially pronounced 'nowt'] so queer as folk", meaning "there's nothing as weird as people".

The show drew strong ratings for both Showtime and Canada's Showcase. In fact, in Canada, the series had such high ratings that by the end of the 5th season so many sponsors had purchased advertising time that Showcase had to air the show in an hour and ten minute time block to accommodate all the ads and not cut out any scenes. This was not a problem for Showtime, since that service is commercial free and no ads were ever broadcast during a QAF telecast.

The series ran for five seasons (2000 to 2005 on Showtime and 2001 to 2005 on Showcase). It was believed by fans that the show could have run for another year (most of the cast originally had six year contracts but according to one rumor the contracts were renegotiated to five years after the first season).

However, Showtime was concerned about the rising production costs due to the strength of the Canadian Dollar. Some of the cast, however, felt that Showtime didn't want to be known as a "gay only" network so they cancelled the show. Publically, at least, Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman both stated that they didn't feel there were really any further stories that they could tell and also Randy Harrison (Justin) was reported as saying that had the series gone into a sixth season, he would not have been part of it.

Canada's Showcase, which was making a great deal of money from the advertising demand, did briefly consider producing a sixth season, but as Showtime owned much of the rights to the series and funded much of the budget, Showcase decided against it.

The series has been aired weekly in Brazil under the name Os Assumidos by the cable television channel Cinemax.

Since January 9, 2006, the series is aired weekly in Germany under the original title on the private channel ProSieben.

上面简单的说了说QAF这部剧制作和获过的奖项,比较有意思的那段讲关于演员们本来签的都是六年的合约,结果五年就拍完了...showtime算得真精啊,呵呵。
其他wiki上的介绍包括cultural implication和criticism,有人有兴趣的话,俺再贴过来吧。倒是蛮有意思的~

另外,关于Randy,Wiki上给出了他比较详细的剧目credit,IMDB上只有他电视剧和电影的credit。反正我也一起贴了,要是以前有人贴过,就当我再贴一次了~先是他的简介,后面是credit。

The following paragraghs quoted from WIKIPEDIA

Biography
Harrison was raised in Alpharetta, Georgia.

A veteran of the stage, Randy has been acting since the age of seven. He received his BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where he starred in such productions as Hello Again, Shopping and Fucking, and Children of Eden. He received his start in theatre at Pace Academy in Atlanta, including a turn as the leading role in the school's 1992 production of Peter Pan. While in high school he studied acting with George Mengert and voice with Valerie Kennedy.

Harrison soon went on to perform in other theatrical venues across the U.S., playing in productions such as Violet at the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati, 1776 at the St. Louis Municipal Theatre and West Side Story at the Forestburg Playhouse, as well as productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Real Inspector Hound and A Cheever Evening.

Harrison made his television debut in 2000 in the American version of the British television series Queer as Folk. In 2002, Harrison was cast as "Sean" in the made-for-television movie Bang, Bang, You're Dead, which is based on the play of the same name. In the summer of 2004, Harrison performed on Broadway as "Boq" in the musical Wicked. In July 2005, Harrison returned to theatrical acting as the lead in Equus. He will return again to the Berkshire Theater Festival mainstage in July 2006's Amadeus and is currently cast in the Alabama Shakespeare Festival[1] production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. presented by SITI Company.

Harrison has been an outspoken voice for the gay community in such publications as The Advocate and Out. His character Justin on QAF was one of the strongest representations ever of a young gay man and his sexuality, vulnerability, desires and ambitions. Justin was a talented artist who was the victim of a gay-bashing incident that nearly killed him.
