<<Do actors really have a fear of playing homosexuals, thinking it may reflect badly on their image? Don't they think that the audience is able to distinguish between a role and a sexual preference? >>
I don't think this is the case, Michael...I think it's more the case that Hollywood waters homosexuality down to make it more palatable for a wider audience. There are some great films out there with name actors (Longtime Companion & Jeffrey among them), but they're made for the most part by indies. Hollywood knows that these won't play well in Greenville SC & Des Moines. Bob NP: CPR, "Triad"
