Luke Macfarlane on Developing a Queer Hallmark Christmas Movie and Playing a Straight Character in ‘Platonic’: ‘I’m Very Versatile’Some gay actors have passing privilege (Bomer, Rock Hudson, Lee Pace) and some don't (Dan Levy, Tituss Burgess, Jesse Tyler Ferguson).

Jesse's played straight
Whether or not it's believable is another matter. That's on them for not being to portray different mannerisms lol

I don't either, but as someone with prominent ears I'm thrilled to hear the info from Luke regardless.
Bomer was only openly gay for the last two years of the series. Though those leaked photos of him making out with an ex hit the gossip sites around the time the series started.

Yes. Apparently, Ian McKeller outed him by mistake at some point when they were doing one of those Lord of the Rings movies.

Yes, I admit it - I love Hallmark movies. Fun interview with Luke and Tyler Hynes.......
My favorite one is about the overworked businesswoman that goes to her hometown for Christmas and meets a handsome guy whose business is under threat of being bought by a corporation, but, through the power of love, they get the money and she marries him.

Hard to say. They didn't announce season 2 until December 2023, about 6 months after season 1 ended so we probably won't hear anything about a third season or cancellation until early next year.

It's weird that I recall him being gracious about that at the time (I think he said something like he couldn't have asked for a better coming out party), and then years later being hostile to any mentions of his sexuality when it had long been public knowledge. I guess he got over whatever his problem was eventually.
