So, yes, if there was a palpable danger of having your career doomed by starring in the movie, then a ''sensible'' actor would avoid it. The movie was not expected to be anywhere near the success it turned out to be, so it would have been far too risky a venture for an actor with something to lose. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 19:23, 8 October 2008 (EDT) | You can find in many interviews at the time would question the actors about whether they were afraid of starring in a gay movie, for fear that it may stifle their careers.
