We'll have a gay old time.........

Here's an interesting thought. A good portion of men in ameteur theatre are gay. A good portion of the professional actors I know are gay. Then how come television and film manages to only cast straight men? A few have slipped through the cracks but the rest are avowedly hetrosexual. Makes you wonder if somewhere in Hollywood there isn't a closet big enough to fit the cast of Ben Hur.

Woo-Hoo! More ladies for me and Dean (and Amanda if she's really serious about investigating the dark underside of masculinity).

Now there's an oxymoron with Dean's name all over it: "dark underside" and "masculinity" used in the same sentence. (Don't worry Dean. That comment about more ladies for me and you ought to dispel those rumours about you. Well, some of them...)
