"Eric McCormack has quipped that his character in the Broadway play Gore Vidal&amp;#039;s The Best Man is a &amp;quot;betrayal&amp;quot; for Will &amp;amp; Grace fans. The actor stars in The Best Man as a senator who is driven to sin and corruption in pursuit of power. Discussing the play with The AP, McCormack joked that Will &amp;amp; Grace fans are often shocked when they come to see The Best Man. &amp;quot;People come in going, &amp;#039;Oh, there&amp;#039;s that nice guy from Will &amp;amp; Grace&amp;#039;, and within about 20 minutes, they&amp;#039;re like, &amp;#039;Oh. I. Hate. That. Guy&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; the star joked, adding: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a bit like a betrayal.&amp;quot; McCormack further explained that his Best Man character is &amp;quot;Don Draper-meets-Rick Santorum&amp;quot; and represents a dark side of the American dream. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a monster, but he&amp;#039;s an attractive monster. No sweater vests, though. That is out,&amp;quot; McCormack joked in reference to Santorum&amp;#039;s now-famous attire. &amp;quot;My character is the kind of guy who shoots first and asks questions later.&amp;quot; Gore Vidal&amp;#039;s The Best Man is currently playing at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City. &amp;gt; Debra Messing: &amp;#039;Will &amp;amp; Grace&amp;#039;s Eric McCormack could be my roommate&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Mullally: &amp;#039;Will &amp;amp; Grace had two more years&amp;#039; Watch a clip of Eric McCormack in Gore Vidal&amp;#039;s The Best Man below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
