For me, it was more a dramatic shift to go from the stage to the screen.

I don't think closeted homosexual morticians have the market cornered on self-loathing or sense of shame.

So it's really nice after about a year and a half to get back on stage and flex those old muscles.

I certainly know there are people in positions of power in the business who lack imagination and, perhaps as a result of that, think of me as 'David'. But I wouldn't really want to work with those people, you know?

As time passes, I feel more and more a sense of acting being a fundamental part of who I am.

Honestly, I think some of my family members of a certain generation were more skittish about me playing a gay character on Six Feet Under than watching me play a killer.

There are no secrets in life; just hidden truths that lie beneath the surface.
