“Escape at Dannemora” is the current frontrunner to take home the Best Limited Series Emmy, which would not only be a huge coup for Ben Stiller & Co., but would be a landmark win for Showtime as the network has never won the category before.
Showtime only has a mere six nominations in the category, which through various times over the years has been merged with and split from the Best TV Movie category. For comparison, NBC and PBS have a record 10 wins each. Last year, Showtime’s bid for “Patrick Melrose” marked the network’s first nomination in the category since “Sleeper Cell” 12 years prior. Its other nominations were for “Paris Trout”, “Hiroshima” (1996), “Armistead Maupin’s More Tales of the City” (1998) and “Armistead Maupin’s Further Tales of the City” (2001).

Lets face it, as television viewers we grow attached to the gay characters that resonate with us on the small screen, and with the actors that bring life to these roles. We also find ourselves growing fond of out-and-proud actors that have opted to play it straight thats why its called acting, people and vice versa.
So when their shows are cancelled or taken off the air before they wear out their welcome (whatever, I still miss Sex and the City on Sunday nights, ok?), it can be a little bit difficult to see them slide into other TV roles easier than Lindsay Lohan checking into another rehab (Im rootin for you, girl).
Alas, sometimes that isnt always the case, which might have you asking yourself, Where are they now? In some cases for these actors, it could be taken as a query of, Where did they disappear to?
But for curiosity's (and manner's) sake,...

When I wrote last month about an unexpected encounter at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour with Laura Linney, the star of Showtime's The Big C, I said that she wasn't just the nicest celebrity I'd ever met, but quite possibly one of the nicest people I'd ever met.
After all, when she noticed me standing by myself waiting to interview someone else (something Linney didn't know), she first waved hello at me and then pulled me into the conversation she was having with friends. When I introduced myself and said I edited a site for gay and bisexual men, Linney grinned widely and exclaimed, "My people!"
Trust me, this is not normal celebrity behavior in Hollywood.
Given that I met her at a press event, the possibility wasn't lost on me that, as nice as Linney might be in her personal life, perhaps she was performing a bit as well.

Two of the hottest hunks in sci-fi would make an adorable (onscreen) couple.
What happens when Connor (Firefly's Sean Maher) has his marriage proposal to Jesse (Eureka's Colin Ferguson) interrupted by Jesse's heretofore-unknown seventeen-year-old son? That's the question Timing, a new film from Dalliance Films, will attempt to answer.
Keith Sweeney, a producer for Dalliance Films, a Charlotte, N.C. indie film company, spoke with AfterElton.com confirming that Timing is currently in development with pre-production scheduled to start in late winter/early spring. The budget is slated at approximately three million dollars.
Both Ferguson and Maher have signed letters of intent for the project, but offers won't officially be extended until later in the process with hopes that both actors' schedules will allow their participation to take place as planned.
It's not the first time either actor will have starred in roles of gay interest. Ferguson appeared...
