65. There will always be gay actors...

And Mr. Stiers was indeed a professional who was great in almost everything he did.

What I hope for the ages is that he will be one of the last who do not have to wait (in his case until age 66) to no longer balance what the world thinks in order to maintain a professional career vs being comfortable in his skin.
