IS MICHAEL CUDLZ GAY?

As much as some voic the field of munitn and ter have speculated if Michael Cudlz is gay, there is no kd of evince that n rroborate this. Yet, as often happens wh artists of this field, the mors that Michael Cudlz is gay are persistent, which is surely annoyg. In any se, celebri too often refe to speak about their private liv, so we never know if they are gay or straight.

Although Michael Cudlz hasn't stated beg homosexual, 's easier to e out the world of the actors, as there have been many to precent this. When NBC explibly nceled the p drama Southland before airg a sgle episo this season, I felt ep disappotment bee I loved the show and was very eager to see how the storyle for the character of gay p John Cooper (Michael Cudlz) would unfold.

Did you know at that pot that he was a gay character? I thk the one thg that will happen that you’ll see, will be very clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that John is gay.

AFTERELTON CHATS WH “SOUTHLAND” STAR MICHAEL CUDLZ ABOUT HIS GAY CHARACTER ON THE TNT DRAMA

Bee there are apparently some people out there that are still unaware that John Cooper is gay. Southland’s Officer John Cooper was revealed to be gay way back the show's first season, but sce then viewers have only gotten snippets of the character's personal season 5, which kicks off tomorrow night, Michael Cudlz tells that we’re gog to get much more personal wh Cooper than ever before.

’So plays a ltle b more this season, his home life, what’s gog on wh him, the stat of his relatnship, which also ti to the bigger theme of John sort of lookg at his life, the middle-aged gay man who’s sgle, and what do that mean? ’ I’m ready to be on the that’s when Anthony Ruivivar on, and he’s gog to play out for the majory of the season as my When he gets this new partner do the gay thg e up?

John Cooper, gay male. ’ [Ironilly, Ruivivar played a gay lawyer on the short lived ABC drama, The Whole Tth. ]And there’s some other sensive them g up between Cooper and his dad that are very spoiler-ish, but there’s a lot of nflict wh his dad where they discs him and his homosexualy so ’s very we get the Southland st (Rega Kg, Ben McKenzie, Cudlz & Shawn Hatosy) some Emmys, please?
