Foxtel held what it called an intimate cocktail soiree for visiting US actor Darren Criss last night in Sydney. The venue could have not been more appropriate – The Penthouse at The Ivy.

Criss is the star of the forthcoming instalment of the American Crime Story franchise, The Assassination of Gianni Versace. The series is an FX original and under the new deal Foxtel has for FX programming, the series will screen on the showcase channel and also be available on demand.

Foxtel had decorated The Ivy Penthouse with a shimmering golden curtain, which provided a glamorous backdrop for photos.

Key invited media mingled with Foxtel executives Stephen Baldwin and Jim Buchanwhile Foxtel’s Jamie Campbell conducted an informal interview with Criss before showing a short highlights reel.

Criss has many fans in Australia from his good work on Glee as Blaine Anderson. Campbell and Criss spoke about how the actor prepared for his role in The Assassination of Gianni Versace, where he plays the murderer Andrew Cunanan.

PenĂ©lope Cruz, In Cannes, Talks Working With Husband Javier Bardem & Emmy Buzz As Donatella Versace – The Actor’s Side

Cruz really gets animated discussing another pet project of hers, the acclaimed FX limited series The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story in which she plays Donatella Versace. There is strong Emmy buzz for the performance, but when I ask about it she says she won’t think about it unless it actually happens. It is a transformative role and her first for television, but she says it was such a good experience she is open to trying it again, especially to work with producer Ryan Murphy. | 16 May 2018
