      [Alan has just learned that his grandfather died while playing Russian Roulette]

      Alan Cumming: Finding out about him and having to share that with my mam and my family has kind of reinforced my belief that it's really important to be honest and open, and to have no skeletons in the closet. Because the truth can hurt, but *not* knowing can hurt more.
