Vince Colosimo plays the role of publisher, the third player in what is set up as a classic triangle and he’s a perfect foil for the two women.

 

As an actor, Vince brings humour, intelligence, machismo and physicality to the role, and I’m thrilled by his performance in THE SECOND. At some primitive level, the publisher is just chasing money and sex, but it’s his search for the truth that is his undoing.

 

He is titillated by the content of his lover’s erotic memoir but when her friend (the ‘real thing’) turns up, the attraction is palpable. He becomes a pawn in a deeply emotional identity war.
