Gerald McCullough talks about possible “BearCity” sequel and More!

In LA, the play Daddy, starring Gerald McCullough, has been extended through April 10.

Now I want to share with you a little bit of a terrific interview the actor has done with RadarOnline:

Radar: For ten years, you’ve played Bobby Dawson on the hit CBS show CSI. The character has long been rumored to be gay, and at one point, I heard there was talk that your character would come out on the show, but that hasn’t happened. Is that true, and if so, why?

Gerald: There was an episode many seasons ago when we shot a scene where it was revealed that Bobby was in a committed same-sex relationship and had adopted a child with his partner. However that scene was cut from the episode when it aired. The show has gone through so many changes through the years and Bobby really isn’t a part of the CSI fabric as much as previously, so I don’t expect the story line to resurface.

Radar: Carrie Fisher has ‘outed’ John Travolta on more than one occasion, telling the September 2009 issue of Out (and later repeating her comments during an interview in December, 2010) “We don’t really care that John Travolta is gay.” Whether Travolta is — or is not gay — is his business, but what was your take on that?

Gerald: I loved him in ‘Boy in The Plastic Bubble’. I even know the theme song. True fact. Ain’t lying. “What would you say, if we up and ran away, from the roaring crowd, and the worn out city faces….”. He wrote that song by the way. He’s an amazingly talented man. Live and let live.

Radar: Richard Chamberlain and Rupert Everett have both been vocal in advising young gay actors not to come out, saying that it will hurt their careers. What is your take on that?

Gerald: I’ll see your Richard Chamerlain and Rupert Everett and raise you a Neil Patrick Harris and a Sir Ian McKellen.
Radar: With everything you’ve accomplished, what’s next for you?

Gerald: I never freakin’ know what’s next. Do we ever? I’m very passionate about getting ‘Daddy’ made into a film and we have interest in bringing that to fruition. And the sequel to ‘BearCity’, a recent gay-themed indie I starred in and has done very well, is on my plate. I just wrapped a nice episode of a really cool unnamed tv show so that will be popping up in the near future. Plus, I have a few projects I’ve developed that I’m proud of which seem to be moving forward. But whatever comes, I’ll be tweeting about!
