Sean Hayes turned “Just Jack” into our collective gay calling card on Will & Grace, actor Bryan Batt played the fabulously queer Darius (a dim-witted cast member in Cats) in the AIDS-era comedy Jeffrey.
The play premiered Off-Broadway in 1993 and was adapted into a feature film several years later, co-starring Steven Weber, Michael T.
Weiss, Patrick Stewart, and Nathan Lane as a member of the clergy (delivering one of our favorite lines of all time: “I’m a CATHOLIC priest.
Historically, that falls somewhere between chorus boy and florist.”)Batt has never shied away from LGBTQ+ visibility — professionally or personally.
