John Cameron Mitchell…on a desert island.The classy, artsy maverick filmmaker of course earned his fame by directing and starring in the title role of film version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a role he created in the original stage production.
Following the success of that film, he opted to focus on his directorial career, helming the indie features Shortbus, Rabbit Hole and How to Talk to Girls at Parties.
The acting bug bit him again in 2015 when he returned to the role of Hedwig in a Broadway revival of the show, for which he won a special Tony Award.
He subsequently kicked his acting career into high gear in front of the camera as well, landing roles in Girls, The Good Fight and Mozart in the Jungle.Now Mitchell returns to the screen.
