Jason Lewis, Star of Sex and the City, Shares Life Update Three Years After Going “Quiet”
Sean Palmer couldn’t help but reflect on what might have been.
As the actor who portrayed Stanford’s boyfriend Marcus on Sex and the City revealed, the first SATC film in 2008 originally included a significant plot twist that would have featured him alongside the late Willie Garson.
“I was supposed to be in the film,” Palmer disclosed to star Kristin Davis on the Aug. 31 episode of her podcast Are You a Charlotte?. “The film was meant to begin with Willie’s and my wedding, leading you to believe it was Big [Chris Noth] and Sarah [Jessica Parker].”
“You were supposed to be at a wedding,” he continued, “thinking, ‘Oh, they’re finally getting married.’ But it was actually Stanford and Marcus.”
While fans would have loved to see Stanford’s happy ending, it ultimately did not come to fruition (and Palmer lost his role in the film altogether).
“I received a call,” he recalled, “And they said, ‘Look, we got a call from the studio. They don’t want tertiary characters.’”
The 53-year-old added, “So, of course, that was disappointing that it didn’t happen.”
