For a straight actor to succsfully play a gay character is not as easy as one might thk. When I see a movie about gays wh a straight lead and director and fails, I often wonr how the voice would have been different wh a gay director or gay actor. Would Cisg be the same film if the director were gay?
Here are jt a few gay characters played by straight actors that we all uld’ve lived Smh Six Degre of SeparatnWill Smh wasn't a terrible actor the 1993 film Six Degre of Separatn; however, was obv he was a ltle green for the role. The character of Pl was openly gay and was reprented as such the 1990 stage Will Smh signed on to do the role, director Fred Schepisi begged Smh to do a kissg scene wh another man. Over ten years later, Sir Ian McKellen, who played the role of Geofey Miller the 1993 film, blasted Smh, sayg his remarks were homophobic: "He thought he was sayg somethg very dividual but what he was actually nfirmg was that he's got the disease so many people have - homophobia.
