Eldar Isgandarov discusses roles in Club Kid and The Debut
Azerbaijani actor Eldar Isgandarov discussed his recent film appearances and upcoming projects while attending a Halloween party hosted by Julio Torres last month.
Upcoming role in Jesse Eisenberg film
Isgandarov will appear in Jesse Eisenberg's The Debut this December. The story follows a woman whose life changes after being cast in community theater. He describes Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti as mentors who are also best friends on set. His first day shooting involved a scene opposite Giamatti with many other actors watching.
Chemistry between Nicky and Evelyn
Isgandarov plays Nicky in Jordan Firstman's directorial debut Club Kid. He describes the character as an aspiring queer philosopher who lives in a rent-controlled loft. Colleen Camp plays his eccentric downstairs neighbor named Evelyn in the film. The two characters become an irresistibly silly comic duo during the storyline.
Concerns about reception back home
The actor admitted nervousness about how the overt gayness of the film would be received in Azerbaijan. Firstman's initial gathering reassured him that the production would be managed by competent professionals. He credits easy chemistry to the atmosphere on set and Camp being a generous actor.
