Brandon Routh Misses His Gay Role In ‘Partners’
-
Heartthrob Brandon Routh has always had a gay fan base since playing the title role of Superman Returns in 2006, and he cemented it even more by playing a gay nurse in the CBS comedy, ‘Partners’.
On ‘Partners’, which unfortunately did not get past its first season, Routh played Wyatt, the lovely and sexy live-in boyfriend of Michael Urie.
Routh recently revealed he wishes he could have played Wyatt longer. As he explains to ‘xfinity’:
“I had such fun with that character and working with the fabulously talented Michael Urie and David [Krumholtz] and Sophia [Bush] and Max [Mutchnick, co-creator] and David [Kohan, co-creator] and everybody. That was one of those that still, we were on the right recipe and such a good family.”
He continues, “I get people all the time at conventions a lot say, ‘Oh, Partners was so great.’ A lot in Canada because they got to see, I think they might have gotten a few more episodes than we (in the US) got to see. I hear from people on Twitter in South Africa where they got to see all 13 episodes, they released all of them there.”
Routh also is also grateful for his gay fans, saying “I appreciate the support from everyone. Thankfully, the world, society, is coming to a more rational thought process about sexuality.”
