Andrew Scott—1976, Actor, Cisgender
Andrew Scott’s best claim to fame is the role of Jim Moriarty in the BBC series “Sherlock.” But while Scott has no problem with his being called gay, he takes exception to being described as openly gay. In an interview with GQ, he stated that the term implied defiance he doesn’t feel, especially as he’s been out for a while.
But, if anything, Scott, who enjoyed increasing recognition for his role in “Fleabag,” constantly proves that his personal orientation makes no difference in his ability to play a role. He plays Terje Rød-Larsen in the 2021 TV series “Oslo.” So if he chooses to be less vocal about his personal orientation than expected by fans, that’s perfectly fine.
