Darren Criss Claims He Will No More Play LGBTQ Personalities: \"I Will not Be Another Straight Kid Taking A Gay Guy's Duty\"

Darren Criss has played various personalities on television, movie, and stage, but he is best understood for his roles as Blaine in Glee as well as his recent turn as the real-life Andrew Cunanan in The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story for which he has won an Emmy and, most recently, a Golden World election. On top of that, he played the titular character in Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The characters are members of the LGBTQ neighborhood and also Criss, that determines as heterosexual, said that those will be the last queer personalities he will play.

During a current occasion for Clorox's What Follows in New York, Criss stated that the gay duties that he has played are wonderful. He adhered to that up with saying, \" Yet I wish to see to it I will not be one more straight child taking a gay male's function.\"

Hollywood is presently in transition when it pertains to authentic representation of LGBTQ characters, people of color as well as various other members from marginalized communities-- and also Criss is very observant of that. He admits that he no longer feels comfortable playing these roles which it is \"unfortunate.\"

\" The reason I claim that is because getting to play those characters is naturally a remarkable dramatic experience,\" he said. \"It has made for really, very compelling as well as fascinating people.\"
