Gay actors

[xchaosbutterfly]

I don’t know how many people have read the Newsweek article about gay actors playing straight characters. Many celebrities have spoken out and given their two cents on this topic. I thought y’all might want to hear my opinion. As a non-celebrity, I’m sure you’ll find what I have to say completely relevant

Of course, there is the complication that Zachary Quinto is also a telekinetic serial killer, but I’ll just have to assume that he looks back at that time of his life as pon farr gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Considering the whole point of this, I feel kind of bad for laughing SO DAMN HARD at this part.

To everything else, word.

Given that a great many straight actors fail at screen/stage chemistry that gay actors somehow achieve, from am-dram observation as well as watching films, I'd have to say I agree. And god forbid someone ever get the idea you most play a part that is just like you - I'd hate to think the rest of my drama group thinks I'm a mentally deranged, airheaded, french, lesbian, nun/maid, or that my father is a german-irish, murdering, crossdressing, priest/police officer, given that most of our roles involve some combination of the above.
