Brokeback Mountain to some newer films like Love, Simon. But, as I watched many of these, I realized that there are now several queer actors who would play the role just as well, if not better than some of their predecessors.
Here are eight LGBTQ+ actors who I believe would be great picks if these movies ever got a remake. I mean, the fits, the style, the sass - Billy Porter would be absolutely perfect as Frank N.
Furter if the iconic musical, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, was ever remade. While I do love Tim Curry in the original role, as he’s always had a very spirited acting style and certainly knows how to step into character, I just know that Billy Porter would be fantastic in a part like this.
Look at Porter on shows such as Pose, where they regularly show off their dance moves and singing ability. Or even them in Cinderella - while they weren’t in the Amazon original movie for very long, there’s no denying that they stole the show with that dress and their awesome song.
