      He is a huge fan of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and Neil Diamond.
    • Quotes
      It's a business of perception. My being perceived as queer is likely not going to affect the jobs I get, but with certain people it might. Coming out can ruin your career. My career is not based on people believing me with a woman. If it was, I'd be in trouble. If George Clooney came out, he'd be in trouble. Suddenly people would say, 'Wait, he doesn't like what I see him doing? Now I don't believe it.' When you have 20 people who have to agree to cast somebody in a role, a little thing like that could be a really big thing to them.
