Luke Macfarlane is one of the most interesting new out actors around. I say this because I have been curious about him for a while after seeing "Brothers and Sisters" and wandered, really, is he or isn't he? Then I find out and read, yes, he is openly gay AND to top it all off, is playing a very well rounded, sensible and one of the only characters that seem to make sense on this show where everyone is completely complicated and getting themselves into more and more shit. His character seems to think before he acts. Which leads me to asking, does Mr Luke also think before he made the choice to play a gay character on a very well esteemed Television program screened on the very two face ABC network. A network that has me confused since the editing out and bannishment on Adam Lambert, but then the support to the gay storylines in this "oh so wholesome" program, which in alot of ways, is not so wholesome, just grown up and full of fantastic writing.
I LOVE that Macfarlane is playing this character and I love that the execs at ABC gave this character to him and I hope he gets more and more GREAT roles for his portrayal of this gay character because I think he is doing a great job of it and is just showing how more and more Gay Actors should be playing Gay Characters on the Screen!!!!!
