Come to think of it, Philip Seymour Hoffman, was the only straight actor to ever portray a gay man.
I’m gay. And I’ve watched hundreds of straight actors play gay roles and they were awful. They don’t have the language, voice, body movements. It was a straight trying to be a gay guy and was not believable.
That was pretty freakin’ lame. And that is a very prescient question if a gay actor can play a straight character in a movie why can’t a straight actor play a gay character?
