Ahhhh, gay actors have been in straight roles since acting began; in ancient and probably pre-historic times on up to today–right now. So why is the reverse now in question?
Actors are actors. Straight people can play gay roles and gay actors can play straight roles. Acting is a job like anything else. No discrimination based on sexual preference.
