As for playing the flamboyant Liberace, the actor said he never hesitated for a moment. “You’ve got to put it in perspective… coming off of the cancer, I was just happy to be alive, and then someone hands me one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. Steven Soderbergh tells me he’s going to direct, Jerry Weintraub is going to produce, Matt Damon is going to be my co-star… AND I get to play Liberace! I was like, ‘Aw, baby this is to good to be true!’ I was ready for some good luck.”
