    Gay actors have been playing straight roles for centuries, if not millenia.

    I absolutely love Victor Garber and had no idea that he was gay lol, goes to show how sexuality doesn't have to define your level of success, especially being as talented as he is. I did know about Luke Evans and his choice not to let his sexuality define his acting career is to be respected, those things are actually separate, art doesn't always have to imitate life. Love "Dracula Untold", great movie 🙂👌

    Luke Evans deserves the final spot (assuming we're counting down to #1) but, while Colton Haynes roles are less visible these day (he worked in the same DC Universe as Wenworth Miller & Victor Garber, he is not only another out 'n proud actor but also the only one I have fallen in love with on screen. (Not admiration-love like we should all have for Ian McKellen, but 'dear-god-I-want-you-so-bad' infatuation.)
    I hope that this comment serves to add him as honourable mention.
    And since I've added Colton Haynes, I should also add Luke McFarlane (best known for the TV series 'Killjoys' and 'Bros'). His omission was expected since he is primarily a Canadian talent, and I'm not sure if his shows air internationally, but look him up. He defines 'dreamboat'.
    Nice to see a 10 minute video again Eduard I know they take more work, but they are always enjoyable.

    Jonathan Groff (king george from Hamilton, Kristoff's voice in Frozen) played a lot of straight characters in movies,tv series (Mindhunter for instance) and on Broadway,check out Spring awakening, his big break,it is a fantastic musical. He also equally played gay characters in all the different medias in meaningful projects, likeThe normal heart or Looking,and a variety of plays. He came out at the beginning of his career basically,and it was 2009,very different time from today....Excellent actor and singer

    I'd just point out that we're talking about gay actors whose sexuality is known to us. I still stand for placing acting abilities over sexuality when it comes to actors.
