Lance Bass Says His CW Pilot Was Killed After He Came Out, Was Told ‘They Have to Believe That You’re Straight to Play a Straight Character’
NSYNC alum Lance Bass says that a CW pilot he starred in was abruptly killed after he came out as gay.
Lance Bass opened up about one of the career hurdles he faced after coming out as gay in 2006, saying that development on a pilot he was planning to shoot for The CW was abruptly halted. “It was a crazy scary situation because all the examples I’ve ever had of anyone coming out, especially in entertainment, was that it’s a career killer,” Bass continued. He was a contestant on Season 7 of “Dancing With the Stars” in 2008 and had six-month Broadway run playing Corny Collins in the long-running production of “Hairspray.” He and the rest of NSYNC reunited last year for a new single “Better Place.”
