J.P. Pitoc is straight (as is Christian Campbell, his co-star in
Trick
). Jim Fall, the openly gay director of the movie, joked that he had to give J.P. lessons in "Gay 101" while they were filming, including such touches as unbuttoning his pants before laying temptingly across the bed. As you can tell from the finished film, J.P. caught on fast! There was a lot of publicity about J.P. when the film first came out, mainly in the gay press.

telling people you are gay or str8, what difference does it makes? which hot actor in the right mind would come out as gay, even if he was? what is most important is that who you want to get off with. but even if he is gay, do you honestly think you can get him into bed, so what's the big deal about being out?

well, so far not a lot of actors playing gay characters are gay. Most closeted actors shy away from gay roles as it hits too close to home and then they would have press always on their back trying to find out. But people like Rupert Everett and half the cast of Queer as Folk, who are out love to play gay roles just as much as they love to play straight roles. Also, if you see an actor in more than one gay role it doesn't mean they are gay, it just means they enjoy playing a character completely different from themselves. The guy who played Dr David on Queer as Folk turned up in Will and Grace as Will's ex Michael and then played a gay role in a small Indie film, but is in fact straight. Sean Hayes, who I believe is gay but have no proof, starred in Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss and then immediately went to Will and Grace. Trust me, if a white actor could play a black actor they would, but it wouldn't make them black. Acting is a passion as well as a job.
