(37) The Bourne Identity Crisis

(37) The Bourne Identity Crisis. As fusspot Matt, in the short film The Bourne Identity Crisis directed by Lara Wood.

In this bit of broad comedic parody, I was cast (against type) as a fey little high-maintenance drama-queen and all-around bitch-on-a-stick. Thea de Sousa and I play two identically black-clad rivals for the affections of my onscreen boyfriend Jason Bourne. This one was filmed not in New York but in West Hollywood, on a sunny North Laurel Avenue between Sunset and Fountain.

It also has Cradeaux playing a member of “The Gay Mafia”—a shadowy, elite, international cabal of powerful alpha-males, whose sinister conspiracy is to control which city neighbourhoods around the world will be infused with enough cultural capital to become nice tony ones, and which neighbourhoods will be permitted to become overrun with bridge-and-tunnel tackiness or just remain heathenly bereft of artisanal vegan coffee coves etc. (This making light of the Gay Mafia is all part of a cunning plan to cover up our global power, of course.)
