And doesn't sound like him, which surprised me.
Yeah. That was the biggest thing. He's incredibly soft spoken.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've just watched 3/4 of Celeste in the City with Nick Brendon. I have to keep reminding myself that he's a great guy and I know he has a number of friends in the community, some of whom are doubtless highly flamboyant and stereotypical, thus providing the easiest model for his character.
Thank God Joss went with the decision to make Willow the gay one.

Matt, if it's any consolation I saw a comment somewhere that said NB was pretty unhappy with how he was asked to play the character.

That was with the character *toned down* somewhat.
Because, of course, of what Consuela said.

Toned down? From what, Alec Mapa's character from Some of My Best Friends ? (Which, no problems with, because Mapa was basically playing himself.)
It also steams me that they left out the one stereotypical feature that all gay men actually do exhibit: being attracted to men.

Sorry. Laughing v. hard, partly because I ONLY watch SoMBF for Mapa. BUT.
So, you know, I would say take that, and add an extra dash of Miss Thing and a little bit of Just Jack, and that's probably where it started at.

It's not as if there aren't real people who legitimately exhibit those behaviors (hey, I've run into JustJack clones), but they're in the minority. Can't the regular Joes ever get TV representation?
It's like Wonderfalls' ill-conceived lead-in, which seems to think it novel and surprising that gay men might actually be able to fool people into thinking they're straight. News flash: 9 out of 10 of us pass for straight to the casual observer, and sometimes even to our nearest and dearest for years. (Though I must admit that in the latter case, there's usually some highly-motivated suspension of disbelief reinforcing the mistaken impression.)

Well, there was that show with John Goodman... (right? suddenly I can't remember if that's who it was, but I think so).
Yup - "Normal, Ohio". Okay, it flopped, but he tried!

It's a remora, dimwit.
Except John Goodman didn't play a regular joe. He pranced and minced, and looked like Dan Conner on acid. Also, his being gay was established solely by someone saying he was gay every few minutes, and his Hippo-in-a-tutu impersonation that was his walk. He didn't actually get to date any guys.
