How did you juggle filming Ugly Betty with Temperamentals performances?
Weren’t you exhausted? Yes! There were nights when I arrived at the theater three minutes before [curtain]! It was crazy and very tough. Being back in rehearsals while shooting [has been] much harder, because the play’s two hours, and rehearsal can be looong. Between Ugly Betty and this play, are you ever concerned with being pigeonholed as the “gay leading man?” Too late! A casting director once told me you have to be typecast before you can be cast. I was pigeonholed the minute Ugly Betty was a hit, but if I hadn’t been on the show I wouldn’t be doing things like this interview.
