In an exclusive interview with The
Globe and Mail, Canadian actor Luke MacFarlane has admitted he is
gay. Luke plays Scotty on the hit ABC primetime drama Brothers &
Sisters.
In the interview, posted today on The
Globe and Mail website, the Juilliard schooled actor said
of his coming out, “I don't know what will happen
professionally...that is the fear, but I guess I can't really be
concerned about what will happen, because it's my truth.”
MacFarlane currently plays the
recurring role of Scotty Wandell on ABC's Brothers & Sisters.
Scotty was originally conceived as a romantic interest to one of the
brothers, Kevin Walker. The relationship soured as Scotty felt Kevin
was disrespectful. After the couple separated, Kevin pursued other
interests and the pair became friends.
As Kevin entered and exited other
relationships during the second season of the show, his affections
for Scotty continued to grow. It now appears that in the season
finale set to air in May Scotty and Kevin are to wed.
The 28 year old actor refused to answer
any questions regarding his own personal romantic status.
