duality

“You have to have something savory with something sweet to really enjoy it. I don’t want it to feel generic. It’s a more genuine expression if it has duality.”

And for me, as an actor, the duality of those two characters becomes much more interesting when you can cast those personalities as far away from each other as possible.

Sweeney’s observations about this duality, as seen through O’Brien’s characters, dilute the romanticized notion that having an identical double shields a person from isolation.

It’s the first offering from his debut EP, “Gemini” — “It’s about the duality of my music, I can’t be put into a box,” he says — which is set for a Sept. 19 release.

But is that duality of reaping the business benefits while pushing on the human rights transgressions, even possible?
