Wilson Cruz, the 12-packed My So-Called Life star who seems to appear at every white party this earth has ever known, took some heat on this website for his gay He's Just Not That Into You role. But here's one inarguable fact about Cruz: The man is an openly gay actor still getting work in Hollywood. So why'd he risk it all by coming out?

Come out? I don't think he was ever "in".
Good for him…unlike Tom Cruise et. al., he's willing to be honest and unapologetic about his sexuality. I don't know much about his personal life, but I'm willing to bet he's probably a much happier and complete person. The validation he recieves is based on an authentic version of himself…which is SO much more empowering than the alternative.
!
I believe in being out- and proud of him for doing so… but let's be real, he wouldn't have passed.
@Fitz Maybe not with his natural voice, but he is an actor. He could probably come up with a butcher voice if he was so inclined.
I think it all depends on how good the actor is. I love how some peeps state, they are actors, like that means all actors are good at what they do.
IE. Tom Cruise and his accent in that vampire movie. That was bad.
Not only did he risk it all he did it like ten years ago, it took balls and yet you still see him in a lot of roles. Look at NPH, his career has actually soared since he came out.
So to all the gentlemen and their bearded ladies: come out, come out where ever you are………………
Good for him. Frankly, he isn't really on my list of favorite actors, but I'll actually try to see a movie that casts him for the very fact that they are casting an openly gay actor.
@ Terrwill
Yeah, lets see if NPH ever gets a role in da movies that is really successful!
Oh and please-still gets roles in Hollywood? What ONE! And he was playing the role of a mincer!
Come on…
