He said that this is a profession that I have studied and am very passionate about. When I first got my character on The Queen, I had to do a lot of research. and worked to find him. People think it’s easy because he’s gay, but that’s the only thing we have in common. Playing the Prince was difficult for me because I’m gay, he’s a layered character, and his backstory is very different from mine. As many people believe, we’re not cut from the same cloth. Our backgrounds are very diverse, as are our stories. It’s just like any other straight person playing a straight guy who isn’t him.
