Out actor Daniel Franzese has applauded
HBO's Looking for including “bigger gay guys” in the
series.
The second season of Looking
premiered Sunday.
In its
first season, Looking
introduced us to three gay men living in San Francisco, America's
most gay-friendly city.
Patrick (played by
Jonathan Groff) has come to the city to find love. His friends are
also looking for something. Dom (Murray Bartlett) is having a
mid-life crisis, while Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez) struggles with
his relationship.
Franzese, who is
best known for playing Damian in the film Mean Girls, joins
the cast in season 2 as Eddie, a possible romantic interest for newly
single Agustin.
“I meet Eddie,
who's a bear,” Alvarez said of his character at the show's premiere
party in San Francisco. “We strike up a friendship, and a romance
develops.”
“Bigger guys sort
of get left out of the gay lexicon,” Franzese
said. “So, it's nice to see that they're going to show
different body types.”
