When Cosmo was auditioning models for this PSA on sexual harassment, 90% of the women who auditioned said they’d had a similar sexually inappropriate experience. It’s one of six in the series.
Originally produced in Israel by Sigal Avin, the new English versions star newcomers as well as Cynthia Nixon, Emmy Rossum, Grace Gummer, Cristela Alonzo, and David Schwimmer, who executive produced. Schwimmer said:
“There was one discussion [about ‘The Photographer’] where somebody said, ‘I’m very glad people are doing #ThatsHarassment project, but that’s too much. Who does that?'” Avin recalled. “And then a model jumped in and said, ‘This is nothing compared to what I’ve been through.’ [The first person] took it back and said she was sorry and was shocked to see that had happened.”
Comedian Bobby Cannavale plays the photographer, and he’s always great as this kind of guy. Here he is with Louis CK in a classic:
