In 2007, two years after Queer as Folk (2000) went off the air, Harold and Randy Harrison's characters, "Brian" and "Justin", won an online poll sponsored by the website Gay.com to choose TV's "Favorite Gay Couple". They won in a landslide, with 35% of the online vote.

Was raised in a Pentecostal household.

Worked as a carpenter and motorcycle mechanic before being cast in Queer as Folk (2000).

Began acting at the age of 28.

Past influences were Jack London, Gandalf & David Bowie.

You have to like your character, because if you don't, no one else will either.

I think it's good that men are being objectified because since forever women have been objectified. We're flipping the coin because things have been lopsided on TV and film for so long. Another good point to the show is that it portrays men's sensuality. They're not just all about sex and only sex.

You are preparing yourself for a scene, and the most important thing is to remain emotionally available and remain in the moment with your scene partner. You don't want to let your own self-consciousness block the flow of creativity that's coming out so that you can act and react, and play what the scene is all about.

I mean, let's face it, it's 2000 and people are beginning to wake up on some level. I think that, as I was saying earlier, there's just no denying the impact that showing people the truth can have. It allows people to understand themselves, and when you understand yourself you can understand the people around you. And then you can begin to let go of all the bullshit that leads into things like world wars, racism, stereotypes, and bigotry.

If anyone can crack the publicity nut and figure out how to not come across hammy and contrived, I'd love to talk to them.
