Rossell Tovey Is Looking To America

.

I was just reading a quote from Russell Tovey, the openly gay British actor with the most adorable gigantic ears on the face of the planet (see lots of him here), earlier this week where he was talking about all he's ever played are straight roles and how when he finally does play gay, as it were, it would have to be something special. I guess he found his something special - special indeed - he's taking a role on the new big gay series that HBO is putting together for the director of Weekend, Andrew Haigh. It's called Looking and it already has Jonathan Groff in the lead, along with Scott Bakula, Murray Bartlett, and Gayby's Matthew Wilkas - those latter two you can see below, for obvious reasons.
