As completely unshocking as this will be to you, dear readers, a publicist yesterday confirmed to blog AfterElton.com that actor David Hyde Pierce is gay.
Pierce is best known for his 11-season stint as the famously effeminate Dr. Niles Crane on NBC's hit comedy Frasier, which won him four well-deserved Emmys. But he's also a TV and theater veteran, starring recently in Spamalot and the Kander and Ebb's newest musical Curtains.
The announcement comes on the heels of this CNN.com article that--many, many paragraphs in--mentions his longtime life partner, actor-writer-producer Brian Hargrove.
This sexuality bulletin should be far less shocking than if, say, Pierce told CNN that he was pumping iron and readying himself to compete for Mr. Universe in 2008 while negotiating part ownership in an all-girls nudie club. Which is to say, it's not really shocking at all. His sexuality has been an open secret in Hollywood for years and I'm a little amused by the OH MY! aspect of it.
According to AfterElton.com, Michael Musto, author of the firestorm of an article in Out magazine The Glass Closet: Why Stars Won't Come Out and Play, Pierce once said, 'My life is an open book, but don’t expect me to read it to you.'"
