Congratulations on the Emmy nomination for Fire Island. How did it feel to be there — and to kiss your boyfriend on the red carpet?
It was so surreal being at the Emmys. I have been watching the Emmys since I was a little boy. Like the better part of 30 years, probably. And so, to finally be there, it was really sort of a crazy wish-fulfillment moment for my younger self.
Acceptance speeches were a big reason why I wanted to become an actor, which is sort of funny. I didn’t expect to win, but I definitely think I’ve been practicing to win an Emmy for the last 30 years. So it was cool to get that one step closer to it.
As far as kissing my boyfriend on the red carpet…I think I kiss him on every red carpet that we go to together, and it just seems like a natural thing
