DARREN CRISS, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
WHY HE DESERVES A NOD: Gianni Versace may have gotten his name featured in the title of FX’s second American Crime Story, but it was Andrew Cunanan — played to haunting perfection by a not-so-Gleeful Darren Criss — who captivated audiences until the season’s unforgettable conclusion. With each gut-wrenching breakdown and unnerving look, Criss embodied a character capable of skyrocketing him from teen-TV heartthrob to Emmy-nominated powerhouse. And need we remind you about that infamous underwear dance? Playing this role took some serious, well, you know.
Samira Wiley, Darren Criss & Neal McDonough at Monte-Carlo Television Festival (June 17th, 2018)
We’re talking TV at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival! Genie Godula sits down with small screen stars Samira Wiley from “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Orange is the New Black”; Darren Criss from “American Crime Story” and “Glee”; and Neal McDonough from “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” and “Desperate Housewives”.
Darren Criss was just 10 years old when Gianni Versace was assassinated in Miami in 1997, so understandably, he doesn’t have much of a recollection of it.
“I knew as much about it as I guess most people knew about it, which is not much, unless you are in the fashion industry or living in Miami in the ’90s,” he told Mamamia.
“I was aware that he was shot on his steps, and that was about it.”
One detail he could remember though, was about the man behind the assassination. Andrew Cunanan was a crazed stalker who shot Versace at point blank on the steps outside his mansion.
“I was kind of aware in the recesses of my mind that [the assassin] was half Filipino,” he continued.
“That clocked in, because I’m half Filipino, but that’s kind of it… That was all I knew.”
At the time, Darren would have had no way of knowing that 21 years later, he and Cunanan would be linked in other ways too, with the 31-year-old actor portraying the psychopath on the small screen in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.
