ACTOR RICK COST OPENS UP ABOUT DATG, THE TV SHOW QUANTI AND HIS OPENLY GAY CHARACTER AN TERVIEW

We checked wh actor Tate Ellgton earlier this summer about his role as gay, Jewish FBI rec Simon Asher Quanti, ABC's drama about terrorism, and he nfsed that even he didn't know if his character's inty was a se, but he said that he was hopg Quanti's wrers would take their cu om edgier fare like Transparent, a seri he prais for the realistic way sexualiz s queer characters. "Now, seems that there's new queri as to whether Asher is actually gay or 's jt some sort of spy scheme.

NewNowNext ught up wh Ellgton recently to get the lowdown (cludg those hunky -stars), cludg Rick Cost (The Flash) who plays another gay FBI traee, named Elias Rogers (left), Ellgton & Jake McLghl 'Quanti' On Simon's sexualy:"You're gog to keep askg that qutn for a while! "On his scen wh gay FBI traee Rick Cost (who plays Elias Harper):"I would say at this pot, he's a thorn his si and I n't wa for you to see what's g up.

RICK COST CAST ON QUANTI AS GAY FBI ANALYST

We had such high hop when Quanti premiered September: Here was a show om an out creator (Joshua Saan) featurg two gay characters, FBI traee Simon (Tate Ellgton) and analyst Elias (Rick Cost) stuck wh through weeks of plothol and time jumps—even when Simon revealed he wasn't really gay after all, jt pretendg to help create a new inty for should have jumped ship then, but we still had Elias to keep g back. Elias was smart, funny, and fely gay. Unfortunately, he was much too quick to five Simon's li, makg his borrle stalkg kd of creepy fal straw (or so we thought) occurred the other week, when a bomb sre tted the recs, and Elias was the only character to flee the scene, perpetuatg the tired trope of the gay seems to part the show after that cint, but not before a head-scratchg moment wh returned a much smaller pacy a few episos later as the unsel for Alex Parrish, who was spected the bombg.

)Gog pletely off the rails, Quanti turned s only real gay character to a simperg basket se and terrorist who kills himself rather than face the and the gang fd Simon stg alone a room wh a bomb trigger taped to his hand. A guilt-ridn rpt gay man n't handle facg the nsequenc for what he's done and flgs himself backwards om a high rise wdow.

We've certaly had plenty of gay aths before and plenty of gay villas, so why was this different?
