*beep* or Not *beep* That is My Question
I like reading all the 'he is / isn't an *beep* posts. I don't know, jury is out for me. I'd like to meet someone who knows him. But I will say that he grew up extremely wealthy (his father was a Partner/Founder of Interbrand) and had all the trappings in his early life that often add up to *beep* Growing up in Darien is also a unique experience - Auntie Mame did refer to the 'Aryans from Darien' and Chloe Sevigny often references her childhood there. Living in Darien - assuming one can afford it - is a very specific choice for some parents. Topher always came across to me as arrogant - intelligent, too - but arrogant. Perhaps I'm only projecting because I grew up with kids like that. But the fact remains that he has never been poor or even middle class - and being wealthy makes you different - and often an *beep* albeit a droll, witty and sarcastic *beep* Topher always seemed most natural to me in Traffic, probably because he was surrounded by guys like the guy he played when he was in prep school. So, again, I don't know if he is an *beep* or not, but I'd be interested in hearing first hand accounts.
