If you are one of those people who tend to associate cross dressing with homosexuality, then may be, its time to upgrade your knowledge. The best example of straight guy fond of cross dressing in the history of TV shows in Sam Malloy, played by Aidan Mitchell in The Riches TV Show. Youngest of all Malloy children, Sam frequently dressed up in girl’s clothing. It’s a choice that his family accepted but he had to keep it a secret from the outside world.
The idea of Sam’s cross dressing could have been inspired from Eddie Izzard who portrays the character of Wayne Malloy on the show. Eddie Izzard is known for cross-dressing both on and off stage. But he has made it clear that for him cross dressing is not at all a sexual thing. On the other hand, it is not even part of his performance. He claims that he simply loves to wear make up and dresses that are considered to be domain of women only.
Sam was known to have a very artistic temperament and he drew a large mural on a wall in the Rich home on the very first night they spent there depicting their recent adventures, including the car accident and Dahlia’s release from prison. In addition to his artistic accomplishments, he was fluent in French. Sam happened to be very bright and expert at trickery, which going by his family trade was expected of him.
Sam also played the key role in an elaborate con of Dahlia’s to get the Malloy children into Rosemere Academy.
You are free to shrug The Riches off as a cross between “Weeds,” a series about a pot-dealing soccer mom and “Beverly Hillbillies” but the series had a voice and a style of its own, as its comedy was always offset by a lurking sense of sadness and menace.
