Sure, the presidential election looms, but 28-year-old actor Jason Ritter is a one-man October surprise. In the low-budget indie Good Dick, he stars opposite longtime real-life girlfriend Marianna Palka, also the film's writer-director, as a Los Angeles videostore clerk who slowly draws a sullen, emotionally deadened young woman out of her claustrophobic cocoon of hostility and sexual antipathy. In Oliver Stone's W., Ritter — who as the son of the late John Ritter knows a thing about family legacies — portrays Jeb Bush to Josh Brolin's title character. I spoke with Ritter recently about Stone, traditional notions of male chivalry, and Jeb Bush's pot-smoking Socialist period. For the full Q&A interview, from New York Magazine's Vulture, click here. More from the interview to follow later in the week.
