Thanks to a recent post on the international marketing materials for Star Wars: Episode VIII, there’s been speculation that The Last Jedi could apply to Luke Skywalker—whom we saw at the end of The Force Awakens—as well as some other knights. The exact number of Jedi in the sequel, which we’re hoping to get at least a trailer for today, is far from confirmed, but we do know they’ll continue to operate in a universe infinitely less smooth than the original. While at one of the Star Wars Celebration’s panels, Billy Dee Williams said he won’t be playing Lando Calrissian in The Last Jedi.

Those holding out hope for the ice-cool Lando Calrissian to swing by Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be disappointed to learn that Billy Dee Williams isn’t involved in Rian Johnson’s forthcoming sequel whatsoever.
News comes to us via the ongoing Celebration event in Orlando, Florida (with a tip of the hat to /Film), where Williams appeared on a panel specifically dedicated to the life and legacy of his Cloud City dweller. Bear in mind that there’s still a small chance that the actor’s comments are simply smoke and mirrors designed to maintain some semblance of surprise, but based on the word coming out of Swco, it’s best not to get our hopes up.

Lets face it, as television viewers we grow attached to the gay characters that resonate with us on the small screen, and with the actors that bring life to these roles. We also find ourselves growing fond of out-and-proud actors that have opted to play it straight thats why its called acting, people and vice versa.
So when their shows are cancelled or taken off the air before they wear out their welcome (whatever, I still miss Sex and the City on Sunday nights, ok?), it can be a little bit difficult to see them slide into other TV roles easier than Lindsay Lohan checking into another rehab (Im rootin for you, girl).
Alas, sometimes that isnt always the case, which might have you asking yourself, Where are they now? In some cases for these actors, it could be taken as a query of, Where did they disappear to?
But for curiosity's (and manner's) sake,...

David Marshall Grant
Last month, ABC announced that David Marshall Grant was taking over showrunning duties for the Sunday night drama Brothers & Sisters. The news was of special interest to gay fans as the out Grant is also an actor probably best known for his brief but memorable appearance on thirtysomething as the gay Russell Weller. Grant appeared on four episodes of the show during the ’89-‘90 season including the infamous outing that showed Russell in bed with his boyfriend. That scene set off a furor with numerous advertisers pulling their ads and leading ABC to yank that particular episode from repeats.
Fortunately, things have changed a great deal since then, and it might even seem like karma that Grant is now in charge of one of the most gay-friendly shows on television. ABC recently made Grant available for short interviews to discuss the show and his new role. Naturally,...
