But something occurred to me recently after watching a brilliant movie, Call Me By Your Name, and it continues to niggle at me. I didn’t think there was any need to be a straight guy to be able to play a straight role, any more than I needed to murder someone to be able to play a murderer. I was game for any role the Universe might throw at me. I prided myself on being a versatile actor, one that aspired to be able to step into the “skin” of different characters of different ages from a variety of walks of life. During the thirteen years, I was an actor, I played roles representing various gender identities, races and sexual orientations.
