Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky · Michael Urie · 13 Jan 2026 podcast

I was actually on hiatus from Ugly Betty after the second year.

And I was doing this play.

Where I played a gay guy in fashion, just like Ugly Betty.

But it was a drama.

And it was a completely different style of acting.

It was just like totally different.

And that's when I was like, this...

BS warning that I got from all these people not to play gay implies that there's only one kind of gay.

Right.

And in TV, there was kind of.

I mean, it was sort of like there was the one thing.

I mean, Ugly Betty came on right after Will and Grace ended.

And all anybody could say was that what I was doing was, you know, filling the void left by Sean Hayes.

And it's like, yeah, well, that's because I was kind of doing a lot of the same things.

You know, we were playing a lot of the same jokes, a lot of the same bits.

And I would never, you know, he's a genius and I adore him.

But for me, it was getting to do it right away.
