Gog to the project, did you know he was gog to be gay? I thk I got the entire pilot script when I went to dn for the producers, but I didn’t know Alex was gay yet.

Nothg really changed wh how I wanted to execute the character once I found out he was gay, I was jt honored that Kenny tsted me wh a character that I thought had a really important msage for a younger generatn to watch. It’s unclear whether he is gay. Owen enjoyed playg a gay role Julie and the Phantoms, but is unclear whether he is gay real life.
