Neil Patrick Harris

You probably know him as the playboy star Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother, but Neil Patrick Harris has had a long, and deep, career before that. NPH, as his fans call him, made the leap into Hollywood as the child star on Doogie Howser MD. Since then the 42-year-old New Mexico native has turned into one of the biggest triple threats in Hollywood. Neil is handsome, supremely talented as an actor, and one heck of a singer as well. The fan favored actor came out in 2006 as he told reporters that he is “a very content gay man” who was “living life to the fullest”. Neil Patrick Harris would end up marrying his long time partner, David Burtka, in 2014 after the Marriage Equality Act had gained traction. With Harris’ success at every level of entertainment we wouldn’t be surprised to see people buying Broadway tickets with his face on them in the future.

Alan Cumming

A 52-year-old actor from Scotland, Alan Cumming has been electrifying audiences for the better part of 30 years. Cumming has scored huge roles in blockbuster films like GoldenEye and X-Men while also selling masses of event tickets for his work on Broadway. Alan Cumming has never shied away from doing divisive and edgy work and so it has never been a surprise that the actor was openly bisexual. Cumming started dating his now husband Grant Shaffer back in 2005 and the two legally married in 2012 after the Marriage Equality Act had been passed. Prior to this marriage, Cumming had been married to Hilary Lyon for a period of eight years.
