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

And that was a lucky thing, this play I had worked on before Ugly Betty.

I'd done readings of this writer's play in a living room, and I thought it was really good and very serious.

Yes, it had humor, but it was not campy, not flashy.

The play was a nice hit and got great reviews.

And that's when I was like, oh, I'm not going to be in the closet anymore.

This is silly.

I'm not going to worry about not playing gay characters.

Because look at this.

These are two on paper, you could say that they're the same guy, but they're completely different guys.

And we contain multitudes.

There's tons of kinds of people out there that queer people are not all Mark St.

James from Ugly Betty or Jack from Will and Grace.

Totally.

And so that was a big moment for me where, you know, and then from then on, anytime somebody said, because it happened after that, people would say, this should be your last gay character.

You've done a lot of them.

And after this, you should.

And anytime I'd hear someone say that, I'd think, oh, you don't get it.

You don't get it.

that I am not pigeonholed as being queer.

That is not what happened.
