patrICk DuFFY pense<br />

a sa (Belle) FaMIlle<br />

« J’accepte toujours <strong>de</strong> jouer le gentil, et j’aime ça ! »… D’entrée,<br />

Patrick Duffy donne le ton <strong>de</strong> sa conférence <strong>de</strong> presse.<br />

L’acteur, qui a joué dans les séries Notre belle famille, Dallas et<br />

L’Homme <strong>de</strong> l’Atlanti<strong>de</strong>, a tournée également dans 60 épiso<strong>de</strong>s<br />

d’Amour, Gloire et Beauté (entre 2006 et 2010), sans jamais se<br />

lasser.<br />

Marié <strong>de</strong>puis 39 ans à une femme qu’il a rencontrée juste après<br />

l’université, il confie « avoir trouvé celle qui lui convient » et ne peut<br />

donner <strong>de</strong> conseil pour faire durer un mariage, car il est conscient<br />

que « chaque histoire est différente, chaque couple est unique ».<br />

Un <strong>de</strong> ses <strong>de</strong>ux fils et sa femme ont d’ailleurs créé une série<br />

internet sur lui : Patrick Duffy and the crab [Patrick Duffy et le crabe]<br />

accessible sur YouTube, qu’il tourne avec plaisir durant son temps<br />

libre.<br />

Il se plaît à dire qu’il qu’un sentiment <strong>de</strong> loyauté est né envers son<br />

personnage dans Amour, Gloire et Beauté : « Quand on commence<br />

à être présent dans la vie quotidienne <strong>de</strong> quelqu’un cinq fois par<br />

semaine, une certaine relation se crée ; ça vous donne envie d’y<br />

rester, vous ne pouvez plus vous en passer ».<br />

S’il ne cache pas sa joie <strong>de</strong> se retouver sous les projecteurs ici à<br />

<strong>Monte</strong>-<strong>Carlo</strong>, il ne peut s’empêcher « <strong>de</strong> compter combien d’heures<br />

et <strong>de</strong> minutes le séparent <strong>de</strong> son retour à la maison ». C’est sa belle<br />

famille à lui…<br />

Ian Brennan, one of the team of<br />

three writers behind Glee, has<br />

been wi<strong>de</strong>ly quoted as saying<br />

that he initially found the i<strong>de</strong>a<br />

behind the show to be ‘hard to<br />

rationalise’: “There seemed to be<br />

something very un-cool about the<br />

whole High School scenario,” he<br />

said. “And even though I long ago<br />

saw the positive si<strong>de</strong>s of the show,<br />

my contribution script-wise is the biting<br />

wit. But that can’t work in isolation, the show<br />

needs an emotional point of view as well, and then it<br />

becomes more than a musical comedy.”<br />

The fact of working in a team of three also gives the show<br />

its multi-layered character: “We have found that we can<br />

have different tones within any given episo<strong>de</strong> that make<br />

it seem like there’s more than one show happening at the<br />

lIFe aBoarD planet Glee<br />

same time.” Brennan said. “Plus from week to week the<br />

show is so vastly different because, having stumbled on<br />

a re-vitalised genre, we have a lot of tools at our disposal,<br />

which is perhaps why the show is perceived as being<br />

revelatory.”<br />

Series 3 is already being planned, and one thing for sure<br />

is that there will be changes: “It’s senior year for a lot of<br />

the kids, which gives us a lot to work with, looking at<br />

what they’ll do after graduating,” he said. “So I’m very<br />

excited about that, plus there’ll be a new character and<br />

Sue Sylvester will be running for congress.”<br />

Coach Sylvester is Brennan’s favourite character: “I can<br />

i<strong>de</strong>ntify with her cynicism,” he said. “But we have such an<br />

amazing cast, and so many great characters that we are<br />

obliged to rest some of them sometimes and bring others<br />

in. Of course there is the pressure from the actors, which<br />

makes it a very interesting challenge and a huge pleasure<br />

working with such an amazing pool of talent. GS<br />
