Craig McLachlan got the raunchy role of Frank-N-Furter because he "steps out far beyond what most other performers can do". His presentation of promiscuous and sexually exploitative behaviour is what audiences want. Now we are telling him that in the acting workplace as distinct from the acting role, this kind of behaviour is not ok. There is a fine line there. This is not to excuse Craig, should a court find him guilty. It is however to remind ourselves that as shapers of our culture we all have some responsibility for allowing things that are not ok to be seen as ok.
