Ben Platt on coming out and the queerness of ThePolitician 🎧 Listen:

“I didn’t think I could be a star of a show in general starting out. I think I was like, ‘I’ll do Broadway. I can be on stage and I can play Jimmy in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and Nathan Detroit [in “Guys and Dolls”] and that’ll be that,’” Platt says on this week’s episode of the.” “I’d still like to do those things, but I think as life has progressed, my view of what’s possible has just grown and grown and grown.

Platt says Murphy’s “Glee” was “so formative” for him during his high school years. The characters were “incredibly revolutionary particularly as far as queerness was concerned,” he said. Platt is one of the rare actors who came out as gay early in his career. “There was never like a gung-ho of ‘Let’s come out as soon as possible’ because no matter how forward-thinking we all get, it becomes an obstacle a little bit in the case of auditioning, producers and casting and directors,” he said. “Hopefully we’re moving a bit beyond that.”

Among the other musical movies he wouldn’t mind being a part of? “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Company,” Parade” and, of course, “Dear Evan Hanson.”

Who is Ben Platt and why should I care?

lRONRESCUE where can i apply for gwyneth to treat me like that

She'll forget she was in this in 6 months

He looks like a Sesame Street character

And he's totally right! Someone give that man an Oscar. BenSPLATT

He must be joking.

20 years?! Oh FFS! Makeup, digital FX and acting people! Mandy Moore goes from milf to gilf and back again in each episode of This Is Us. See also The Irishman. We'd still be waiting for Brad Pitt to turn into a baby if they took that approach w Benjamin Button.

So, sorry if I come insensitive or rude but what if one dies?

let's hope it doesn't need re-shoots 👀

Who is ben? Who is sara? What 3us once?

When I want to cry on cue I think of my dog dying. Everytime.

Multiple takes probably help.

'Somewhere' by Tom Waits works for me.

he's annoying
