We can’t get enough of Drew Tarver, bisexual king and star of ‘The Other Two’
A post shared by Drew (@drewtarver)Alright, we’ll go ahead and say it: we are absolutely gagging for Drew Tarver, comedy icon and star of The Other Two on Max–and we see no reason to come up for air anytime soon.Since 2019, the actor, who is bisexual IRL, has brought plenty of cringeworthy laughs and queer representation to The Other Two.
In the show, Tarver plays Carey Dubek, a struggling gay actor in New York whose life, along with his sister’s, is upended when their 13-year-old brother becomes famous.Over the course of three seasons, Tarver’s character has found himself in plenty of hilariously humiliating moments, whether it’s making out with his straight roommate over and over again, befriending a group of famous “instagays” in order to boost his follower count (see a clip below), blackmailing The White Lotus’ Lukas Cage for a role, or falling for a method actor who never breaks character, leading to a sexless relationship.
Not to mention, being part of this scene, which includes one of the most iconic lines ever uttered in LGBTQ+ cinema. Ultimately, it’s this hilariously critical but loving take on LGBTQ+ culture that attracted Tarver to the role. “Well, being a struggling actor, playing a struggling actor was like, ‘Okay, I know these humiliating moments.
I know the struggle you’re going through.’ So it felt very real,” he told GQ back in 2021. “I also really responded to [the fact that] it wasn’t a coming out story about a queer character.
