Chad Allen in New Series! |
| "Starsky & Hutch" may
have been unintentionally and entertainingly homoerotic, but there's
never been a genuinely queer detective who's also the lead character
on a crime drama. Until now, that is. Openly gay actor Chad Allen ("Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman") has just signed on to star in the here! TV original series "Third Man Out." Based on a popular series of books by Richard Stevenson, the show will be directed by Ron Oliver ("Queer as Folk") and written by Mark Saltzman. Allen will play tough-guy detective Donald Strachey, a man who moves through the hard-boiled crime world with ease, taking care of himself, rooting out corruption, busting the bad guys, and, oh yes, making out with guys at the same time. Well, at least between arrests. The show starts shooting this month in Vancouver and will begin airing on here! later this summer. |
