LOS ANGELES SENTINEL: How did you get involved as an executive producer on Visible: Out on Television? How did that happen? Here is what Wilson Cruz, who is currently starring on CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Discovery and Hulu’s Bravest Knight, had to share about his role as executive producer on Visible: Out on Television available steaming on Apple TV+.
DR WILSON CRUZ TV
At the time, he was about 20-years-old.Īnd now back to Apple TV+’s Visible: Out on Television which Cruz calls a “love letter” to the medium’s power and a strong testament to how LGBTQ people and their allies harnessed TV to tell the community’s stories. Cruz made his historic footprint as the first openly gay actor to play an openly queer character in a leading role on network primetime television series. While most actors toil for years before they become a part of entertainment history, Cruz walked into that position, smashing stereotypes, in 1994, when he introduced the world to Ricky Vasquez on ABC’s My So-Called Life. Thank you, actor and executive producer, Mr. Margaret Cho in Apple’s “Visible: Out on Television,” now streaming on Apple TV+.
Here’s the question: It’s 50 years later, have there been significant improvements in how the LGBTQ community is depicted in film and television? It might feel like pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking but I venture to answer with a yes and as a recent piece of evidence, I offer up Apple TV+ ’s Visible: Out on Television.
