Dan Amboyer, who co-stars with Sutton Foster on ''Younger'' and has appeared in many Off-Broadway shows, officially came out to People magazine over the weekend. And Amboyer, 31, married Eric P. Berger, 37, his boyfriend of nine years. Tony winner Patina Miller (''Sister Act'') and a Carnegie-Mellon pal of Dan's, sang at the wedding. (Small world: Dan also went to Interlochen with classmates, like Benjamin Walker and Michael Arden.)
Before landing roles on TV and film, Dan did the Bard at the Shakespeare Theatre in D.C., the Old Globe and the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
Though he now plays Thad and Chad, the hunky twins on ''Younger,'' Dan has said he was a fat kid. ''When I did 'Oliver!,' I had to be the one kid to sing 'Food, Glorious Food' from a backstage mike because they said no one would believe that I was a starved orphan.''
As for coming out, Dan told People magazine: ''Being a young actor in the industry, I had a lot of people who strongly advised me to stay quiet. That was hard to live with. ... I think the more open actors can be, the less stigma there will be attached, which will be a positive thing moving forward.'' |
