Philemon Chambers Above Single all the way

First, let us tell you that his name is pronounced “phil-LEE-mun.”

Now, the rest. Philemon struggled to become an actor since he was 13 years old. So he only had a few small roles in TV series like Criminal Minds and All Rise in your resume, when Single all the way came. Just two weeks after he recovered from COVID, the audition took place.

Two days after he sent in his audition tape, casting director Jonathan Clay Harris contacted him.

Philemon plays Nick, Peter’s (Michael Urie) best friend, a children’s book author and handyman who accompanies Peter back home from Los Angeles for the holidays. Nick is in love with Peter, but Peter is distracted by James (Luke Macfarlane). A clear love triangle.

With this achievement, Philemon also made history as the first black actor to star in an LGBTQ-themed Christmas romantic comedy.

Was Philemon Chambers gay in real life?
