Why are some big name actors reluctant to play gay characters? Christian Bale, Daniel Craig, and Ewan McGregor have played several gay or bisexual characters, done nude scenes and been in controversial films, while still being considered stars. Why have male actors been historically reluctant to the play gay characters? |
| because they are insecure |

Why do you think straight men play Gay Chicken? Is it a way to experiment without anyone thinking they're gay? Have you played? Did ya win? |
| If you're playing Gay Chicken, you're not that straight. |
How not to seem gay when u play a gay character in a play? Im playing Ryan in high school musical play we are doing in school and he's kinda fruity to me and most people i know thing he is gay (am trying not to offend anyone here as hard as i can) and when i act like him i have to move the why he does and if i don't then it would be wrong and everyone would know because its such a famous movie and if i do it right then people around school will label me "gay" so what do i do? |
You are an actor. Play your role convincingly. If you don't then you're not doing your job. Real Hollywood actors don't worry about this crap; think of Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain. They are (were) both straight. They played their roles convincingly because that was their job. Do you think they cared what people thought?
However, keep in mind that your interpretation of the character doesn't have to be the same as the actor in the movie. Be an artist, be creative, put yourself into it, and play him the way you think he should be played. If you see him as fruity and flaming, then play him that way. If not, then don't. |
Is it a sin for a married celebrity to play gay/lesbian? There's some actors and actresses (who are married and straight) that play characters either gay or lesbian. Some say that they do it for the money. Is it a sin for these married celebrities to play characters in these lifestyles? (Not being mean, just want to know). |
| No that's their job . |
Do you think SOME actors/actresses play a gay/lesbian character because they are themselves? Not all obviously but do you think some of them would never ever come out but by playing gay or lesbian characters it's there way of helping out the gay community. I say this because loads of actors before they played gay I've always been suspicious of. Maybe they new deep down they'd be comfortable in the role? |
That's like asking if some actors play serial killers because they are themselves. There is a reason it's called ACTING.
What suspicions you have and what an actor is like in real life are two VERY different things. The sexuality of a role is not necessarily what attracts someone to that role. Maybe it's because it's so opposite of who they really are. Chris Meloni has played a bisexual predator, but is straight and very gay-friendly. Neil Patrick Harris and Dan Butler are two openly gay actors who played straight horndogs and did it VERY well. Hugh Jackman has played one of the most flamboyant gay performers from his home country of Australia, yet is happily married with guys.
The only way someone might select a role to "help out the gay community" is if that role has a message to it - Sean Penn in MILK, for example. But they wouldn't necessarily select a gay or lesbian role just because they're "in the closet."
If that were true, based on suspicion, why hasn't Tom Cruise ever played a gay role? |
Why do good actors like Jim Carey choose to play gay roles? Straight nasty? I love you Phillip Morris he played straight gay guy kissing and having sex with this guy. I never expected him to do that. How doesn't he feel uncomfortable. That's straight nasty. |
| He's getting a lot of mula |
Is it easier for an actor who is willing to play a gay character to get the part? I am studying to be an actor and I would love to play a gay or bisexual character.Reason begging I'm bisexual in real life and I find it easier to play those type of roles now if I had to play a staright character I would so I'm wondering.Does it make it easier for the actor who wants to play a gay character get jobs that way.And also I don't want to do porn.Thanks for the help. |
It won't really matter, to tell you the truth. 90% of the homosexual roles I have seen performed on stage were actually two straight men.
It comes down to acting skill, whoever is the best actor will get the role! |
How could I play a gay reindeer? In a play, I am playing the role of a gay reindeer. Can anyone think of costume, gags, lines, jokes etc I could use? |
You could make a pair of antlers by taking a brown hair band and two coat hangers twisted into antler shapes.
Glue the coat hangers onto the brown hairband wait for the glue to dry and put it on your head.
Keep going upto other members of the cast and try humping their legs by putting your arms around their legs and rubbing your body against their legs |
