As an actor you want to play a range of rol, and I’ve had the opportuny to play gay and straight rol, but I often get to play gay rol which I absolutely love bee we are a time where we are still tryg to have more reprentatn unr-reprented muni, cludg the queer muny.
”Bartlett don’t know if he was offered the rol on the strength of his prev gay rol—which n be sometim how producers and stg directors n see you.
FROM THE 'EVIL QUEEN' TO THE 'SAD LBIAN,' 'WHE LOT' ED MANY GAY TROP. WHY DIDN'T RAISE ANY RED FLAGS FOR SOME FANS?
“I don’t know if people thk, ‘He n only play gay rol, ’ or is that the only way they have seen me and so thk, ‘He’s right for this’? “I was super-fortunate as a young person who had an credible mother who loved me no matter what, and didn’t have any issue wh me beg gay. Fortunately, that worked out really well for me bee the opportuni I got have been wonrful, but may have guid my trajectory that I have played more gay rol than I would have if I hadn’t been open.

Quent's personaly, accent, and tast f the archetypil "proper wealthy Brish gay man, " whereas Jack looks and sounds like a future st member of Love Island. Sendly, if a rich gay man like Quent were to hire a few younger guys to "enterta" him and his group of iends durg a trip to Sicily, stands to reason that someone like Jack would lie to Portia about Quent beg his uncle, not his "employer.
