Michael C. Hall Opens Up About Being Sexually Fluid

CELEBRITY

In a recent interview, Michael C. Hall explained how he came to terms with his sexuality and how he uses his fluidity to play queer characters in projects.

The Dexter star sat down with The Daily Beast to discuss his new play, Thom Pain (based on nothing) at the Signature Theater in NYC. He explained, "I think there’s a spectrum. I am on it … If there was a percentage, I would say I was not all the way heterosexual."

"I think playing the emcee required me to fling a bunch of doors wide open because that character I imagined as pansexual … Yeah, like I made out with Michael Stuhlbarg every night doing that show. I think I have always leaned into any fluidity in terms of my sexuality."

Hall, who is married to book review editor Morgan Macgregor, said that he feels he identifies as sexually fluid because he has always yearned for a meaningful relationship with another man (yet he's been married three times to women).

"I had an appetite to have emotional connections with men beyond beer, sports, and fist-pumping that were considered gay," he explained.

He has had a few chances to use his self-founded fluidity to convey the perfect side of LGBTQ+ characters in his works over the years. In 2001, Hall took on the role of closeted funeral director David Fisher on Six Feet Under. At the time, the character was one of the few openly LGBTQ+ characters on TV. In 2014, he portrayed the fictional trans rock star Hedwig in the Broadway show Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Hall also expressed how happy he is to see more and more roles for LGBTQ actors and characters available these days. "I hope we get to the place where it’s just not at the forefront of our consideration or focus, and that when we think of actors we think of human being working in service of whatever human experience they are called upon to simulate, so there are not just gay and trans actors playing gay and trans people but being able to play everyone. It’s about characters and it’s also about stories," he said.
