Remember that time when I was talking about Terrence Stamp, and I was like, “he’s that ubiquitous Australian actor and whenever there’s an Australian actor in a film, it’s him. He’s in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and Star Wars Episode I,” and you were like, “no, the ubiquitous Australian actor is Hugo Weaving. He’s the guy in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but he’s not in Star Wars, he’s in The Matrix” and I was like, “Are you sure?” and you were like, “Yes.” Well guess what I just realized! Terrence Stamp (who is in Star Wars) and Hugo Weaving (who is in the Matrix) are both in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which means two things:
1. There are two ubiquitous Australian actors.
2. I am not on crack.
Love,

Terence Stamp isn’t Australian, he is English.
Fuck.
they had him play Stick? Pfft, sketchy at best.
A more interesting phenomenon is the nearly ubiquitous presence of either Brian Cox or Ian Holm in any number of large Hollywood productions in the last few years.
It hasn’t been that bad lately, but a little over a year ago it was very noticeable.
Dear Alexandra,
I did know that Terrance Stamp was in Priscilla Queen of the Desert… but he plays the transsexual older woman, not one of the younger drag queens.
Also… you are fabulous.
love
Emily
