Brown - DarkIs Cameron Deane Stewart gay or straight? And I feel like a lot of shows and movi now are showg specifilly young, gay men…ually they’re more flamboyant…I gus I jt wanted to show that there are so many typ of people, so many typ of young, gay men who have gone through the exact same procs. I thk when I had read the script even, not that was grim, but I gus I had pictured my head that this was jt a young, gay love story, and ’s so isn’t jt that.
And gay, straight, whatever, ’s a story that everyone n kd of relate to about beg lost and jt fdg who you are high school.
There was a time when an actor takg on a gay role was a big al…I really thk, wonrfully so, tim are changg. Although is a g of age story and he is a gay character, I thk was jt tthfully his vulnerabily and his ner stggle that is really what I was drawn to.
