At a very early age I knew I wanted to be an actor and then more specifically that I wanted to be on Broadway and be in musicals.

Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.

When I was a kid, there were hardly any gay story lines or characters on television that I recall. Then when I was in college, 'Will & Grace' started up.

If you get into multicultural sort of casting for no other reason than to diversify, then it seems false.

Luckily for me I have a very supportive family and a loving group of friends.

I love doing both theater and television.

I figure, oftentimes the best way in is through humor, and you can deal with serious situations a lot easier, or at least bring up the conversation.
