Colton Haynes, who made headlines this week after his Teen Wolf character came out in a scene with fellow out actor Charlie Carver, took Hollywood to task in a series of tweets earlier this week for discriminating against openly gay actors.
Said Haynes:
“Hollywood is so fucked up. So much of the focus is on your personal life & has nothing to do with the talent you have to bring to the table…Thank god for Ryan Murphy, Greg Berlanti, & Jeff Davis. They believe gay actors are more than just their personal lives…So disappointed in how Hollywood cant understand that playing a character has nothing to do with how u live your personal life.”
