Omari Douglas was planning a Big American Trip for 2020. That didn’t happen — but he’s still getting a Big American Moment.
The young actor, who’s from Wolverhampton, moved to London in 2012 to attend drama school , and after graduation starred in several West End and touring productions. “It’s a Sin” is his first screen role, as it is for many of the other actors in the series. There are a few bold names, too; Neil Patrick Harris and Stephen Fry — who shares all his screen time with Douglas — also costar. All of the gay characters in the show are portrayed by gay actors, an intentional choice by Davies.
Davies’ 1999 drama “Queer as Folk” was one of the first TV shows to center gay characters and portray them living full, normalized lives. It was controversial; that was only two decades ago. The actor also immersed himself in the defining music of the era. “It was important for Roscoe as well, because that’s all the stuff that makes him tick — he’s a club kid,” Douglas says. Similar to music, fashion becomes a conduit for how Roscoe shares who he is with the world.
