Straightest Gay Character/Gayest Straight Character

[MrScorpio]

Munroe Ficus in Too Close for Comfort

I don't think that his sexuality had ever been established. But he did fawn over girls.

Tom Selleck in In & Out

Magnum P.I. is gay.... Riiiiight!

Your choices?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. next in line: whitest black character and blackest white character

[MrScorpio]

3. That's easy

Whitest Black character: That black Beverly Hills detective in Beverly Hills Cop that Eddie Murphy made fun of

Blackest White Character: William Lee Scott as Stanley "Bullethead" Kuznocki in the Steve Harvey Show

[TheMightyFavog]

5. There's a better one for Blackest White Character:

J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys.

[MrScorpio]

7. Good call! nt

[TheMightyFavog]

11. Funny show.

For those who aren't aware of this Canadian Gem, think of it as COPS, but from the criminal's point of view.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. for some reason as i saw this thread i thought bobby jindal

i think for whitest indian guy? or most indian white guy

[MrScorpio]

8. Ben Kingsley can play both

That man has some serious skillz

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. yeah but thats because he is a good actor, not a caricature

ala bobby jindal

[DarkTirade]

25. As opposed to the guy from Short Circuit.

I was just reminded of that recently when I saw a review of the Short Circuit movies recently and the reviewer said, "Y'know, that would be REALLY racist if that was a white guy just pretending to be Indian. Oh wait. It IS."

14. How about whitest white character?

Hoppy Hopkins in Sanford and Son. (the white cop)

[MrScorpio]

15. Interesting choice

However, he did make various attempts to converse with his African-American constituents in their own particular franca lingua.

Such attempts can be construed as a factor that would diminish his level of inherent whiteytude.

[CreekDog]

16. but the execution of such enhanced his whiteytude

:think:

[MrScorpio]

17. Ah, I see

Such REPEATED and subsequently failed attempts were merely his confirmation that he retained an exorbitant degree of whiteytudeness, in spite of his conversationally effort to mitigate it.

Excellent deduction.

Bravo.

2. How about gayest actor/gayest role?

Sean Hayes from Will & Grace.

[MrScorpio]

4. I just checked a list

It agrees it you.

"Just Jack" is numero uno!

[Bertha Venation]

23. LOL

Did you know that he is a sick pianist? I worked with him for a year when he was the accompanist for the GLBT/friendly chorus I was in. He's awesome.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. As for gayest straight character, I'd have to go with J.D. in "Scrubs"

And his ongoing "bromance" with Turk. It was hilarious though; I loved how the writers kept on alluding to it but not always directly.

12. Niles Crane

[MrScorpio]

13. He and Frazier

Only their Daddy knew, I'm sure

[Blue_In_AK]

18. How about David in Six Feet Under...

He's straight in real life (just married his sister on Dexter), but he played a really great gay guy with that hunky black cop.

[MrScorpio]

19. Not really.

Despite being a straight actor, he played it very honestly. Which is a testament to both his selection for the role and the amount of heart that he put into it.

I'm looking for mismatched character/orientation roles.

[Blue_In_AK]

22. I guess I misunderstood your intent.

I agree, that character was played with a lot of heart and very convincingly. I was surprised when I learned that he ISN'T gay.

21. Nathan Lane in the extremely short-lived TV series "Encore, Encore"

Miscasting so bad, you had to see it to believe it. Nathan Lane as a philandering, womanizing writer, charming and bedding women by the truckload. I'm sure by now Lane's bought up every available tape, out-take and samizdat of the series and burned them to beyond cinders.

[mitchum]

24. That's miscasting that will never be topped...

the first time I saw a commercial for that, I assumed Lane was going to be hosting SNL and it was a teaser for an upcoming skit

26. Gayest straight character: leather-daddy Batman.
