It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.

Returning to the small theme of a few days ago, Randy Harrison is what I think will be the last Queer as Folk Slap. Randy was one of the actual gay actors on the show. I always liked him - and his character - and was amazed that he hung on Brian the way he did.
He always seemed to be a good actor to me, but he doesn't seem to have been working since the show ended, I can only assume it's because he's gay. I've heard of him being in various stage productions, including an "impressive" turn as the main character in Equus. Now that I'd like to see... Anyone know anything else?
Update:Celebrity Bulge Blog mentioned that he thinks that the actor playing Randy's role in the UK was cuter, and I realized that I should have linked to him - CharlieHunnam (and one more ). I have to say, I agree: Charlie is cuter.
The interviews he did for The Advocate a few years ago showed some irritation with all the fame and attention he was getting (I couldn't blame him). I'd imagine he's trying to lay low for a while and get some semblance of reality back.
BTW, Him and Hal Sparks were my two favs, as far as looks were concerned. Didn't care for "Justin" as a character though, always seemed shallow and self absorbed, much like brian IMHO.

I loved him as Justin, he and Brian were my favorite characters. There was a lot going on there under the surface, they definitely weren't shallow and self-absorbed characters. And yes, very very hot together! Randy has been doing a lot of theater work, has not disappeared off the scene at all. He did Amadeus recently, his fans flew in from all over the country and world to see him. He was actually very gracious and charming to all.

Sorry, he does nothing for me. I saw this picture and thought, "Wow, I didn't know Kirsten Dunst got a short shag haircut....."

I've seen Randy on stage 4 times and he's absolutely amazing. He was great on QAF, but you can tell he belongs on stage. He's been training for theatre since he was real young and you can tell. It definitely shows in his peformances.
I've also met him several times and he's incredibly nice to his fans. The day I saw him he said he was in a hurry, yet he stopped to take a pic with my friend and sign my playbill. He's shy and seems down to earth and has excellent manners.
I know he's in a play for 1 night only this coming Sat night. And I heard rumors that he has an off-Broadway play in the works for this winter.
So he's definitely continuing to work after QAF.

not true, not true, not true. He has been doing theatre and studying extensively with the acclaimed SITI in New York City (Saratoga International Thatre Institute) and was picked by their artistic director Anne Bogart to appear with the SITI theatre group in an acclaimed production of Midsummer Night's Dream this year (he played 3 roles) followed by his second appearance with the famed Berkshire Theatre Festival as Mozart in Amadeus which earned him rave reviews in Variety and the Boston Globe, among other publcations. In an interview with the Hartford Corant he said he was doing exactly what he wanted - challenging roles in live theatre.

I thought he was the only actor on QAF who had depth and charisma. QaF was really a waste of his talents... but ohhh those Justin - Brian love scenes ! Randy is a true QT as well.
