Only gay actors should play gay characters
because you 'wouldn't black someone up',
says former Doctor Who screenwriter
Russell T Davies
(two years after casting Hugh Grant
as gay MP in A Very English Scandal)
Russell T Davies
[He insisted he was 'not being woke about this'
and said the idea of 'acting gay' is just a
'bunch of codes for a performance' and is not authentic.
Queer as Folk - about the lives of
three men in Manchester - was Davies' first gay
TV drama - and he cast straight actors in the role.]
He has proven you do not need to be Gay.
He is a Silly Sod
