‘Hacks’ season 3 star Jordan Gavaris has a real-life love story that’ll make you swoon
Hacks is back, and if the two new episodes that dropped this week on Max are any indication, the comedy about comedians hasn’t lost any of its luster three season in—in fact, its sharper (and gayer!) than ever.Last season, after Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) comeback special became a huge hit, she fired her writer and confidante Ava (Hannah Einbinder), pushing the young comic to make a name for herself.
We pick things up a year later, with both women enjoying successes of their own, but the two haven’t spoken at all since parting ways.It’s not until the Just For Laughs comedy festival that Ava awkwardly bumps into Deborah again, quickly realizing she’s been replace by not one but two new writers, Miria and Logan.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.If these two look familiar, they should!
Both are new to Hacks this season, but you’ll likely recognize Dylan Gelula as Miria, best known for her supporting role as Xanthippe in Netflix‘s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.As for Logan, he’s played by Jordan Gavaris, the out actor we’re always happy to see turn up on our screens.JORDAN GAVARIS ON HACKS pic.twitter.com/5KCrYmAHU5The Ontario-born Gavaris first popped on most folks’ radars with the celebrated BBC America sci-fi series, Orphan Black, where he played the feisty Felix, foster brother to Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany)—and her many, many clone sisters.Even though Orphan Black was a hit and Gavaris’ fan-favorite character was openly queer, the actor himself didn’t come out until after the show wrapped up its final season.
