You may be familiar with Daniel DiMaggio, no relation to Joe DiMaggio, as Oliver Otto on American Housewife (2016-21). I never heard of it, but I wouldn't have watched anyway. Who wants to watch a sicom about June Cleaver or Donna Reed?
He is presented as gay, with everything from pictures of muscular men on his bedroom wall to an interest in ballet, to a boyfriend, the wealthy, femme Cooper (Logan Bell). Everyone things they are boyfriends, anyway, including Cooper, who is upset every time Oliver claims that they are not dating. But then he backs off and gets a girlfriend.
Logan Bell (the femme one) is gay in real life, and states that he played Cooper as gay. So why five seasons of "crumbs" that led nowhere? Fans were irate when the showrunners were too cowardly to let Oliver come out.
He was born in 2003 in Los Angeles, and began acting at age nine in the short Geisho (2010): a man (Horatio Sanz) wants to become the world's first male geisha. Kind of gender-fluid.Next, a 2013 episode of Burn Notice, which, I discovered today, is not about a hospital burn unit, in spite of the misleading title. It's about a spy who was "burned" (fired). How the heck are potential viewers supposed to know that? Daniel plays the young version of focus character Michael (Jeffrey Donovan).
It starred Katy Mixon as Katie Otto, a housewife who, although not pretentious herself, is immersed in the ultra-pretentious world of ladies who lunch in Westport, Connecticut, along with her husband (Diedrich Bader), two daughters, and son Oliver (Daniel).
She has a lesbian best friend, and there's a gay character (Jake Choi) in Season 5, so there's a bit of representation. The main problem fans had was queerbaiting Oliver.

Daniel already has two strikes against him (baseball metaphor, har har) for five years of queerbaiting. Let's check on his other projects.
