The director of the new film, Seek, discovered his star, Ryan Fisher, at a gay bar in Toronto.

"I was with some friends when I first spotted Ryan enjoying a night out with a group of guys," recalls Eric Henry. "I?m not one to actually go up to an attractive stranger and start a conversation, so I remained the wallflower and did nothing."

Soon after, Henry started writing the script for Seek and wrote the character of Hunter with Fisher in mind.

"The film offers a glimpse into all aspects of local queer culture, its drag queens, bars, nightlife, all set to the backdrop of the city of Toronto," explains Henry.

The action centers on Evan, a shy, budding young writer who takes on an assignment profiling Hunter, an alluring club promoter who reigns over Toronto?s nightlife.

A year later, when he began casting the film, Eric Henry was determined to find his mystery man. Luckily, while combing through headshots, he came across Ryan Fisher?s resume.  He contacted his agent and offered Fisher the role of Hunter without a single audition.

GC: Is this your first film?

RF: It isn?t my feature-film debut, however, it is the first queer film I have been a part of and the first queer character I?ve played. I?d say that was a huge draw to the project. I also loved how the script was about representing the characters - and the gay community as a whole - as relatively normally. It doesn?t focus on a torrid coming out story, or falling in love with a straight person. The story is, in my opinion, educational on how normal the queer community is.  The characters just happen to be gay, or drag queens, or transvestites, or go-go dancers.

GC: Are you a king of nightlife like Hunter?

RF: I wish! I?m not a master of the nightlife like Hunter is. He?s a bit more cunning than me.

GC: Are you easy to get to know?

RF: I think so.  I?m certainly one of the most overbearingly social people in my circle of friends. I can show up to any party and make friends. I love going places where I don?t know anyone and just follow the flow of conversation. The idea is always to remain open and positive... and smile. People flock to you.

GC: That?s one thing you share in common with Hunter.

RF: Yeah, and I?m a big flirt. I think it?s a great way to make people feel good about themselves, and makes any situation more comfortable. Most people respond well to it, but it?s gotten me into trouble too.  It can give people the wrong impression, you know? I?ve been in some conversations I?d rather not be in and have been pursued by people I?d rather not be pursued by.

GC: What?s your favorite track to shake to on the dancefloor?

RF: On the dance floor, I?m a sucker for Top 40 but you should see me bust a move to some classic Motown!

GC: Does being in a movie make it easier to meet new people?

RF: You can never predict guys? reactions to learning you?re an actor. I hang out with a lot of actors. When I meet people who?ve never really met an actor before, they always ask for a monologue or to see me cry. Which is... exhausting.

GC: If you could date one of the characters in the movie, who would you choose?

RF: Hands down, Aiden Star, played by Jonathan Nathaniel.

GC: Why?

RF: Have you seen 1 Girl 5 Gays? Who wouldn?t date Jonathan Nathaniel? He?s always positive and always cracking a joke. Love that guy.

GC: Do you think most gay guys seek Mr. Wrongs?

RF: It?s not just gay guys. People in general aren?t often good at seeing what?s best for them when it comes to love.

GC: What advice would you give to Hunter?

RF: Werk it. You?ve earned it!
