Cosmo the dog, a Jack Russell terrier, is an amazing little furry scene-stealer in the comedy/drama Beginners (one of my favorite films of 2011). In this video provided by Focus Features, Cosmo’s human co-stars – Ewan McGregor, Melanie Laurent, and Christopher Plummer – as well as writer/director Mike Mills talk about how impressed they were with his personality and acting ability.
Official Synopsis: Oliver (McGregor) meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Laurent) only months after his father Hal (Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who – following 44 years of marriage – came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life.
The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they’d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.
