When I talk to Ryan Murphy or Ali Adler about my past or things in my personal life, occasionally pieces of that will end up in the script, and I think that's true of everybody. It's true of that entire writer's room, certainly of Ryan and Ali. I think that he writes really well for actors, for his actors, and he writes to their strengths. I always feel very well taken care of with him.

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

The majority of celebrities that come to the show actually don't come backstage. Because they don't know that they can.

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.

I've certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you're not supposed to make people laugh.

I still can't shake the Nebraska off of me.

I'm 6'2 and not a small person.
