That man's career confuses me so much. Like he's got the looks, the screen charisma, and can even sing but his career is pretty meh. I remember back in high school, my choir teacher kicked my then-best friend and I out of class on Movie Day because we were thirsting after him in Hairspray a lil too openly for a school setting lmao.

I hope you've seen or are gonna watch Jury Duty with Marsden. It plays right into your point about his career and I still laugh when I remember it.

Alan is probably including himself as well, so at least 3 main characters played by queer actors (and Eliot Page was in X-3 as others mentioned). Some actual queer films now don't even have that many lol.
