A star of stage and screen, John Cameron Mitchell will play the ostentatious title character, Joe Exotic, and Mitchell’s spicy career seems appropriate for the role.
Playing Joe Exotic will be a walk in the park for Mitchell.
Along with multiple theater roles both on Broadway and otherwise, Mitchell directed Rabbit Hole in 2010, starring Nicole Kidman.
Mitchell co-wrote and starred in the Off-Broadway hit Hedwig and the Angry Itch, and also directed and starred in the film version.
