Actor, writer, and producer Wentworth Miller says the straight man's story has been told (and told).
A lot fo people don't know this, but Wentworth Miller was almost Superman. People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive is undeniably a beautiful, blue-eyed, 6 foot 1, and openly gay man who announced a couple of years ago that he’s tired of playing straight roles.
Miller stated, “The straight man’s story has been told.” His television success trumps his film accomplishments, but he's got acting chops that are on par with his striking looks. From Prison Break to the silver screen, Miller acts, writes, and produces but refuses to accept another acting role written for a heterosexual man.With cameo appearances as Mariah Carey's significant other in music videos and successful projects like 2014's The Flash, and the dark thriller, The Loft, released in the same year, about five heterosexual married men who buy a secret pad for their sexual rendezvouses, Miller has shown his range and amassed a huge and dedicated following over the years. But the azure-eyed actor became best-known and beloved in 2005 as Michael Scofield.
Miller was not always a proud gay man. He speaks publicly about his struggles with homosexuality and how he contemplated suicide more than once. Although the actor discusses his father being in his life, he said he never had an example of how to be a man. But, his Prison-Break brother calls him a "thoughtful gentleman." Purcell says he grew up with such brutes that he wasn't used to a man with that temperament.
