Hey Folks-
Our other threads keep getting eaten,
and this is my attempt at starting another
one.
Anyway, I was watching the FINAL DESTINATION DVD,
which has no blantant gay factors, and listened
to the cast commentary, and have two questions:
1) Kerr Smith, the str8 actor playing the
gay-character on DAWSON'S CREEK,
mentioned that he has another film coming
out about now where he plays a "flamboyant" gay character.
He it was something other than THE BROKEN HEARTS CLUB,
which I have heard he plays in bit part as one
of Dean Cain's conquests... Anyway, has anyone
heard anything about this other film?
2) There is an actor in FINAL DESTINATION,
who plays Billy Hitchcock, and he was
also in AMERICAN PIE and ROAD TRIP.
I thought I heard somewhere he is openly gay.
Is this true? If so, it is great to see him
playing so many characters that are NOT gay.
Hopefully, that will encourage other gay actors
to be open.
(Dean Cain just said at the GLAAD Awards,
that while he is very proud of
THE BROKEN HEARTS CLUB,
he has actor friends who are gay
and not open because getting non-gay
parts would be tough afterwards.)
I assume he is talking about young guys, since it
seems like a non-issue for older blokes
like Ian McKellan, and while Rupert Everet
appears to be doing okay, thought
it seems like 70% of his characters are also gay.
Just me thinking aloud again.
