Last week Hulu added a bunch of episodes of the original, British version of Queer as Folk to its streaming offerings. I was surprised to see that the main character was being played by Aidan Gillen a.k.a. Mayor Tommy Carcetti of The Wire. And his teenage boy toy was played by Charlie Hunnam of Judd Apatow's follow up to Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared. Who knows if Gillen or Hunnam are actually gay, but they certainly do a good job acting gay. The series originally aired in 1999 and helped pave the way for the American remake and a growing offering of queer television.
