Now, the actor has opened up about the billiards scene that saw his character caress Fred’s shoulder, all before discussing a potential future for Fred and his wife in D.C.
The moment suggests Commander Winslow could be a gay or bisexual man, or at the least have some physical attraction to Fred, and the actor seems to agree.
Speaking to Harpersbazaar.com, the actor explained: “Whether you want to call it Easter eggs or bread crumbs, I just thought there was something to play there.
“The action [in the script] is just, I put my hand on Waterford. And I thought, This is a man of great appetite, and there’s also a sense that this is how things work when you have absolute power.”
