What does it mean to look/sound/act gay? On this episode we're deconstructing the stereotypes with Travis Nelson: the dreamy queer treasure interest on Amazon Prime Video's newest series "The Lake"! Travis tells us about growing up in a small town and how moving to bigger cities was the initiate of his coming out journey. As a cis gay man, Travis explains how the assumptions people make about his sexuality have been both a privilege and a test. We ask him about constantly being cast in straight roles and how it feels to be playing a proudly out gay character on such a prominant streaming platform. Plus, what was it like working with THE Julia Stiles?! This conversation with Travis is so honest, vulnerable, and introspective. We're so grateful for him and we can't wait for all of you to watch The Lake: now streaming on Prime Video!
