“Being black and gay in America both come with heavy doses of self-loathing”: Actor Darryl Stephens opens up about typecasting,

Self-described as “THE black, gay poster child,” with a signature part as the title character in the hit LOGO series “Noah’s Arc” and a sexy romantic leading role in the gay classic “Boy Culture,” actor Darryl Stephens found himself at a professional crossroad. On location, in 2007, for a big budget film, “BOLDEN!,” he thought he had to hide his sexuality from his co-stars, who it appeared to him were uncomfortable about “the gay thing.” This behavior was a complete reversal for Stephens, who once left his agents because they didn’t want him working on “another gay project.” But then it hit Stephens.
