Alan Cumming - Actor

Stephen Sackur speaks to Alan Cumming, the award winning Scottish actor, about the highs and lows of his life and career.

Hardtalk speaks to Alan Cumming, the award winning Scottish actor whose chameleon-like talent has seen him play the Pope in a dress, the voice of the devil, a superhero in the X-Men series and a celebrated turn in Cabaret on New York's Broadway. In his personal life he has been married to a woman, is now married to a man, and has suffered a nervous breakdown. Highs and lows are nothing new to a performer but how much were they shaped by the shocking brutality he experienced in childhood?
