Darren Criss might straight in real life, but in reel life he is gay. Something he says no wants to do. He told Bustle, “There are certain [queer] roles that I’ll see that are just wonderful,” adding, “But I want to make sure I won’t be another straight boy taking a gay man’s role.”
Then he explained, “The reason I say that is because getting to play those characters is inherently a wonderful dramatic experience…It has made for very, very compelling and interesting people.” Roles which made him a star and gave him an Emmy.
This is just me, but I don’t believe that is the reason why he does not want to play the same characters that he played in Glee, American Crime Story and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I think he just does not want to do it anymore now that he has an award-winning actor and is married. If you get what I am saying. But I could be wrong.
