There's a major reason why Ben Platt signed on to Prime Video's "The People We Hate at the Wedding." "I was really hungry to play a queer character and, specifically, a gay character and to get to play something very close to my own experience and my own age and my own demographic," he tells Popsugar.

In the new comedy, Platt plays Paul, the youngest sibling of three. He and his sister Alice, played by Kristen Bell, are resentful they have to travel across the pond for the wedding of their seemingly perfect half-sister Eloise ("The Rings of Power"'s Cynthia Addai-Robinson). Their mother, played by Alison Janney, just wants them all to come together, but Paul and Alice bring their baggage with them - with major consequences. The movie is based on the 2016 novel by Grant Ginder, with a screenplay from "Bob's Burgers" writers Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin and Wendy Molyneux.
