Thanks, @starri . I just watched it, and I totally agree with what you say here. I can see being uncomfortable - I'd be uncomfortable kissing another woman - but I'd also be uncomfortable kissing some random dude from casting. But as an actor, he doesn't need to actually be attracted to the person. It's too bad he took the role if it was going to bother him so much (and I think it showed in his performance).

Ohmo July 2, 2014 Share July 2, 2014 Pay cheque or not, then don't audition for these kinds of roles. I had that thought until I watched the interview and compared it to the character of Drew. Then I began to wonder if Brendan was intentionally and purposely picked for the role (at least in part) BECAUSE his level of uncomfortableness is as obvious as it is. Drew is in love with Rick, and I think he's fine with the relationship and with Rick as an individual. However, what I think is evident is that Drew is not yet fine with the fact that he's a gay man in a relationship. He himself is uncomfortable, and I wonder if the producers specifically sought someone who IS uncomfortable versus someone who could ACT uncomfortable. Time will tell what the future holds for Drew and how those ideas come to life in Brendan's performance, but at the moment, I have the sense that his casting was very deliberate. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7264-the-night-shift-in-the-media/#findComment-171586
starri July 2, 2014 Share July 2, 2014 I guess what's just disappointing to me is that Drew is an incredibly interesting and appealing character and when Fehr came out and said things that were at least boneheaded if not actually offensive, it really took some of the shiny off the character. Not to belabor the point any more than I already have, there are two straight actors on freaking Days of Our Lives who have been called upon to be incredibly affectionate with each other, and far from complaining, both have embraced (and have been embraced by) the gay press for it. Hell, a few years ago, Luke Macfarlane (who, for the record, is gay) was regularly making out with another straight actor on Brothers and Sisters. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7264-the-night-shift-in-the-media/#findComment-171837

Same here. His problem isn't being romantic with someone he's not attracted to (unless he's attracted to every woman he runs across) so his problem is it's a guy. I agree with whoever said if he doesn't like he shouldn't go out for these kind of roles, much less take them. And if he doesn't like but it's not so bad he can still act it, then shut the fuck up and act it.

I thought it was funny because the entire promo was about Scott being the one who is "good" for Jordan, yet TC is the one that she's drawn to.
