In 2013 Jared played the role of a transsexual character named Rayon, picked AIDS in drama “The Dallas Buyers Club”, where he made as a ​​partner Matthew McConaughey. The overwhelming majority of critics acknowledged the work the strongest in the actor’s career. For the creation of this image, the actor was given numerous awards and was nominated for the Critic’s Choice Awards and for the Screen Actors Guild Award on the U.S. “Golden Globe” festival.

He is an actor and rock star and recently Jared starred in a short film “Artifact” — an award-winning documentary that detailed “30 seconds to Mars” squabble with EMI Records.

Recently, you play the role of a transsexual. Did people begin to look at you otherwise after that? Do they notice feminine traits in your behaviour?

It was a really unique experience and certainly people’s perspective changed. How they looked at me changed. And it is a rare thing to experience that perspective shift in others. So yeah, you get treated different and it is good to learn about that and apply that to the role.

Your film character is from Dallas and you need to speak with East Texas accent. How could you become another person?

I was born next door in Louisiana. I have family, as well, in Texas. So that melody is familiar to me and certainly family members and friends and specific people that I did research with helped to inform the voice. And the voice is a very important source of inspiration.

I think that when you are searching for yourself, your identity, the voice is often a place that we focus on. It says so much about who we are. For Rayon, she was in a process of discovery and experimentation. The voice is certainly a key into who she was.

And how you react to the idea that your character was supposed to wear headscarves all the time?

I liked the scarves. I thought there was something about it that seemed right. But it came from some research that I did, from photos in the ’70s and ’80s of people that were very inspiring.

And how do you feel about the new era of information technology. Are you grounded well in this issue?

Yes. I have learned a lot about making little films, the videos, over the years. I have been directing for almost a decade now. I think the great thing about technology and new platforms is it has enabled all of us to consume content quicker and easier than ever before in a quality that could not have been imagined even a few years ago.

And do you want to shoot a video clip for your band in China for example?

Yeah, why not? I do not think people are done with ambition or creative dreams. Just because you can make a video for $500 does not mean that is the only video that should be made. Cultural exchange and that sort of thing is awesome. It brings about unique experience both for the filmmakers and the people watching it.
