Igby Goes Down (2002)

Pointless film about a negative and sarcastic youth, Igby (Kieran Culkin), who thinks he is going to beat society.

Michael Formica Jones plays Peeka, a drag queen room-mate of performance artist Russel (Jared Harris). In one brief scene, Peeka wakes Igby up after Igby had crashed at Russel's apartment. Russel comments that Peeka was bitchy after a performance the previous night. Peeka has only a few lines of dialogue, and her screen time is short, a few seconds. Nice gown, though.

In another scene, Igby is at his mother's (Sarandon's) bedside, where she is dying of cancer. He briefly wears one of her wigs in her presence.
