SUPERNOVA RAIS THE QUTN: WHEN IS IT OKAY FOR STRAIGHT ACTORS TO PLAY GAY?

Starrg Col Firth and Stanley Tucci, the film’s sensive portrayal of a gay uple who road trip to vis fay the English untrysi — perhaps for the fal time, as they stare down an end-of-life cisn — has been met wh wispread qutn of whether straight actors should still be playg queer, here the send of the 21st century, would seem to have an obv answer.
Of urse, both of them are straight but have been adored for playg gay before — Tucci The Devil Wears Prada and Firth A Sgle Man, two movi that are fively gay non.
‘SUPERNOVA’, EL DRAMA GAY COL FIRTH Y STANLEY TUCCI QUE HA TRIUNFADO EN SAN SEBASTIáN

What’s tertg to me (and even somewhat rehg) is that there’s no particular reference to their characters’ sexualy Supernova; ’s not a movie about beg gay but the love between two people. At this pot, if we’re gog to accept and appreciate straight actors gay rol, I thk the story beg told matters.
'SUPERNOVA' TRAILER HAS COL FIRTH, STANLEY TUCCI AS GAY COUPLE ON BRK OF CRISIS
A gay uple (Col Firth and Stanley Tucci) take a trip through Great Bra's Lake District as they al wh the knowledge that one of them is dyg. * supernova gay *
This isn’t a film about “g out” or the stggl of beg gay, and th, there is ls of a need for that “lived experience” to provi thenticy.
Supernova is about two agg gay men who are ntendg wh the sad realy that one of them is dyg, and both actors do tremendoly ldable work. Dpe their tremendo performanc, do sadn me to nsir how much bon cred they’ll get for “playg gay, ” while so many queer actors n’t even get a llback, let alone awards attentn. Addnally, unlike the characters Supernova, the role of Barry Glickman is all about his queerns: not only is he an adult still reelg om the trma he faced om his parents for beg gay, but his character is liberately wrten as sassy and the time of s release, I saw a lot of plats about the fact that Brooks Ashmanskas — the openly gay, Tony-nomated, Broadway origator of the role — wasn’t even offered the part.
As a gay man himself, Ryan Murphy should be held rponsible for ever even nsirg Corn for the role. Naveen: Speakg of Murphy and his ual spects, Darren Criss said he would no longer play gay after starrg as Versace killer Andrew Cunanan Amerin Crime Story, for which he won an Emmy and a Goln Globe. I thk ’s important to differentiate trans inty as a profound lived experience, and regnize that a cis actor playg trans is different than a straight actor playg gay.
