MW: He might have something happen later on in the season, but I guess you’ll have to keep watching to make sure. It’s like Glee made it okay for people to be gay on TV, if that makes sense.ĭo we get to know anything about his dating history? Glee revolutionized that sense and really pumped it out there, that it was okay and brought in into the public spectrum that made it okay. Are you aware of that time and how things are different now? We’re at a time with television and even films where gay characters don’t really create the stir like they used to. They have a special kind of bond because they both are united in the sense that they both are gay. MW: Later on in the season Kurt’s going to help Spencer work out some issues. Will Spencer interact with them much? We’ve seen a little bit with Kurt but that’s about it. Regular viewers of Glee have gotten very used to Kurt and Blaine over the years. We have our own little unique friendship with all being the new kids. It’s always a really nice dynamic on set and especially with all the new guys coming in at the same time. I remember watching Glee, because I’m into singing and whatnot so it’s really cool to be part of that now. It’s pretty surreal being with all the senior cast members. How has it been being a part of this show? I’m guessing that you knew of it beforehand, so how has it been being in the world? I can’t tell you too much about it, but he’s definitely not going to be just the jerk football player the whole time. MW: I think Spencer has a really nice arc throughout the season. Spencer is a football player so he’s got that kind of aggressive side to him, but what other layers will we see? He’s his own person and he doesn’t let others define him by his sexuality. Marshall Williams: I see him as a guy who doesn’t see his sexuality as something that defines him. Tell me kind of your take on this guy when you stepped into his shoes. The BackLot: C ongratulations on joining Glee. TheBacklot talked to Williams recently about playing Spencer and while it sounds like we may not get to know more about the new guy until later in the season, the actor/singer did have some opinions about who might be Spencer’s type and how much we’ll see him forge a friendship with the other gays on the show. So, is Marshall’s post-gay anti-show choir attitude just who the guy is, or is it merely posturing? And when will we see the guy sing on the show? In fact, Spencer’s final summation for why he doesn’t want to join the glee club? “I think it sucks.” Also, for the good looking, buzzed cut teen, being gay is not the first thing that would come out of his mouth when describing himself and as he told Kurt when he was asked to join the glee club, he’s not into Gaga, Newsies and isn’t writing Archie/Jughead fan fiction. Yes, times have changed and maybe in 2015 a coming out story on Glee is just too first season since Spencer is a self-proclaimed ’post modern gay’ who would never let bullies throw him into a trash dumpster. Meet Spencer Porter and the actor who plays him, Marshall Williams. Spencer is a new kind of gay character for Glee in that he’s out, an athlete and isn’t one to go around waving the pride flag.
While we’re sitting through the moon-eyed stares of estranged couple Kurt ( Chris Colfer) and Blaine ( Darren Criss) on the final season of Fox’s Glee, you may find yourself distracted by a new gay face around McKinley High.

#Modern gay dating show series#
Last week, Amber Rose made her debut as a talk show host and kicked off the weekly series by giving some helpful dating advice. He previously worked as a contributing panelist on The Meredith Vieira Show, and hosted the SiriusXM pop culture radio program, "Dirty Pop." In addition to hosting Finding Prince Charming, Bass will also relaunch his PodcastOne show. The show was not renewed for a second season
The show aired back in 2003 and followed a leading man, who did not know that his mix of 15 suitors included both gay and heterosexual men. Unlike Finding Prince Charming, which will showcase all gay suitors and their every attempt to stand out and find an intimate connection, Bravo once produced a reality series called Boy Meets Boy.
