We saw him in "Tape," where he's supposed to be straight, I think, and he was totally slashing with the other male lead. No chemistry whatsoever with the female lead.
It's in his blood I think. Maybe he's just bi, but leaning, and has hung out with theatre majors so much that they've rubbed off on him.
I mean, there are some incredibly sensitive guys who are straight. I've met a few, and I really liked them. I mean, I never asked or anything, but I know they were married and had kids and all, and never flirted with me or anything. Kind of a litmus test for me is that... straight guys don't talk to me. Seriously. So if a guy is a good friend, and likes to talk to me and hang out and joke with me, then there's something different about them.
Like RSL, they just present as straight, but they have extremely fluid chemistry, and don't usually seem to have that overwhelming chemistry towards women that you sometimes see. I mean, Johnny Depp is attractive to a lot of gay guys, but he has incredible chemistry with women. Ditto with all the major stars you can think of: Cruise, Pitt, Clooney, Damon, DiCaprio, etc. A totally different chemistry than Leonard. You just can't see his... lust, outwardly, towards women. You can't see the intense concern, the concentration on women that you see with other guys. There's a kind of focus that straight guys have towards women... like no one else is in the room, or no one else matters at that point. It's like... they're not thinking of anything else than her. With RSl, and of course I didn't see any of the recent episodes, but I did see that movie and all, but with him, you get the idea that he is thinking of something else. Maybe he's thinking about his technique, or acting, or if he left the iron on. When he looks at House, you get the idea that he's not. He's thinking about House.
Still, I mean, the way Hollywood is people can be anything they want and be accepted, so I'd say no, probably not gay, but could be if he wanted to.

YES, EXACTLY. And um, gay guys are the same way towards other guys (including straight ones). Just something I noticed years ago. I have no verdict to give on bi men, because I don't personally know any offline that I know of.
But, uh, glad someone else sees this sort of...defining energy. It's awfully hard to describe. But it's really crucial, somehow. Completely affects how men treat both women and each other.
When he looks at House, you get the idea that he's not. He's thinking about House.
Yes. It's like he's always calculating what House thinks, how House feels, what House wants, what House needs. Whether or not he acts on that in that moment (maybe he's too busy or pissed or whatever to act on what House wants), he's focused on that automatically.

It's not there with female characters. So...odd.

bi people in general tend to act that way toward people they are interested in, whatever their gender.
