While an increasing number of American actors have come out in the last few years, none of them have been people who are at the top of the a-list (or who have reached that post-coming out). That’s not because no extremely famous people are gay, just that none of them have wanted to reveal their sexuality.
Now Zachary Quinto has been talking about just this, telling Huffpo Live, “I guess it’s just a matter of what people are willing to sacrifice for what they consider success. For me, it’s like you can’t have one without the other.”
He suggests that early in his career it was something he thought about a lot – wondering if he could achieve success in acting as an openly gay man. “I felt clear with who I was,” he says, “but I couldn’t reconcile it with a career. I didn’t think it was possible.” However he has since discovered that it is.
And with upcoming roles in Girls and the mini-series The Slap, Quinto is certainly busy and has been on the interview circuit, including on The Late Show With Seth Meyers, where he suggests his Girls guest spot will be rather revealing.
He says, “You will see a lot of me on Girls. I bared a lot for that experience.”
That’s not too surprising as Lena Dunham has previously joked of getting him involved, “I mean, it’s Girls, so you can assume what you will. I also want to see him naked—that’s all you need to know for now.”
We’ll have to wait and see just how much Quinto we get to see!
