LOS ANGELES — Rising star and formerly openly gay actor, Carey Wilson, has reportedly gone running back into the closet after television producer Ryan Murphy appears to have taken notice of him.
“I actually don’t share details about my personal life, and, uh, my sexual orientation has nothing to do with my work,” shared the actor, a Drama Desk nominee who was once a marshall at NYC Pride. “Deleting the rainbow emojis from my IG bio, every photo of me in a harness, and photographic evidence of the existence of my longterm boyfriend has nothing to do with my recent run-in with Ryan Murphy during pilot season.”
Ryan Murphy, who is in pre-production for his next show “American Horror Story: Horny Inscestuous Cult,” spoke highly of Wilson’s emerging talent.
“When I saw how he breathed life into such a complex, meaty role on stage, I knew I had to get him to play the role of poorly-written Spooky But Hot Gay Guy Who Has Sex with His Step Brother,” exclaimed Murphy, foaming at the mouth, eagerly waiting to turn a promising actor doing serious work into the next Matthew Morrison. "But, turns out he’s super straight. My mistake! I guess Evan Peters will have to do.”
Young talent getting sucked into the world of Mr. Murphy and his clown shows are a growing area of concern among emerging queer artists.
“Going back into the closet is a particularly tricky topic right now, as it’s a really tense time in our country. I mean, Ryan Murphy has deals with both FX and Hulu,” said an anonymous actor writing under the pseudonym "Enemy of Dorothy." “No matter what side of the political spectrum you lie on, I think we can all agree this is a nonpartisan issue.”
At press time, the newly super straight actor was marked safe from Ryan Murphy’s casting team and can continue to do interesting work on stage and screen and oh no, he just got a call from Taylor Sheridan.
I appreciate the straightforward approach used throughout this article. The explanations are easy to understand, and the information is organized in a way that supports a smooth reading experience. I also like that the content stays raxi win focused instead of including details that do not contribute much to the discussion. Clear writing makes a big difference when readers are trying to learn something new. Overall, this was a helpful article that presented its information in a practical and accessible format.
Sports fashion works especially well when it can be styled outside the stadium or tournament environment. The Carlos Alcaraz Laver Cup 2026 Blue Jacket provides a stylish option for anyone interested in tennis-inspired clothing. A simple T-shirt, casual trousers, and sneakers could complement the outerwear nicely while keeping the overall appearance modern, relaxed, and easy to wear.
It's disheartening to see actors feel pressured to hide their identities for roles, especially under producers like Ryan Murphy who often tokenize queer stories. Authentic representation matters—not just on screen, but in every part of an artist’s life. For those navigating complex decisions about visibility, having clear, reliable resources can help. I’ve found ChartsPrintables measurement charts useful when organizing personal projects that require precision and honesty—much like staying true to oneself in an unpredictable industry.
