This is a still from Epiosde 3.1 of the TGIF sitcom Eight Simple Rules (2002-2005). It was originally Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, about an overprotective Dad played by John Ritter, but when Ritter died, it became a general family-angst dramedy. I never watched, but in 2004 you could hardly turn on your computer without seeing Martin Spanjers as the teenage Rory gawking at Sam Horrigan.
Only Seasons 1-2 are available to stream on Disney Plus, so I don't know what's going on in the scene, except that Rory doesn't want to shower after gym class due to his less than adequate package. Maybe Sam Horrigan is a high school jock?
5. Does he avoid roles involving hetero-romance?

6. Does he play any gay characters?

8. Does he show his dick?

2. Does he play a gay-vague teenager?
Fan consensus is that Rory is one of those gay-vague sitcom kids, soft, shy, pretty, and struggling valiantly to act girl-crazy because on American sitcoms, all teenage boys must be girl-crazy.
3. Does he show his butt on screen?
The next time I saw Martin Spanjers, he was still naked, playing the teenage shapeshifter Sam Merlotte in a 2009 episode of True Blood, about vampires, werewolves, and various other magical beings in rural Louisiana. When you shift back to human form, you lose your clothes, so he's naked when he breaks into a house looking for food or something to steal.
4. Does he have a gay-subtext role?
The house happens to belong to a maenid (minor goddess) named Maryanne, who naturally wants to have sex with him. He steals $10,000 on his way out, which causes the adult Sam Merlotte a lot of headaches.
Although the encounter is heterosexual, we can still see a gay subtext. Sam was thrown out of the house when his parents discovered his "secret," like gay kids ejected by homophobic parents. About 40% of homeless youth are LGBT.
5. Does he avoid roles involving hetero-romance?
After Eight Simple Rules, Martin did the usual guest star bit, appearing on as a barista 90210, a chicken restaurant employee on Good Luck Charlie, a kid accused of killing cows on Saving Grace, a rich boy who the Griffins eat on Family Guy, Well, he had already frozen to death while trying to climb Mount Everest.
He had minor roles in Just Peck, about teen angst, and Little Fish, Strange Pond, about existential angst.
More after the break

6. Does he play any gay characters?
In Sassy Pants (2012), a teenage girl runs away from her oppressive mother to live with her deadbeat Dad, and bonds with her Dad's much younger boyfriend (Haley Joe Osment). Martin plays her younger brother Shayne, who is also gay, has an unrequited crush on a footballer, and finally finds his niche among the Goth/Emo kids.
Recently Martin has been producing and appearing in a lot of short independent films: They Grow Up So Fast, Gifted, Just a Ghoul, Life in a Bag, The Fall of Casey Jones. I don't know if any have gay content.
And I don't know where this photo came from: It just popped up when I googled "Martin Spanjers" and "gay." So he must have had at least one gay role since Sassy Pants
7. Does he kiss a dude?

8. Does he show his dick?
This profile is a litle lacking in penises, so I posted a random twink on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends
Results: Martin is definitely....
Wait, on his instagram he talks about his wife, Katie.
Definitely straight. Or maybe bi.
