I just found out that I follow Doug Brochu on Twitter. He tweets so rarely that I don't remember why I followed him, or for that matter who he is.
He's an actor, born in September 1990 in North Carolina, and he seems to have been a Disney and Nickelodeon kid, with roles on Sonny with a Chance, ICarly, Pair of Kings, and So Random.
I must have seen him on the Disney Channel and thought he was gay.
Not a lot of gay content on his twitter, facebook, or instagram, though, nor are there a lot of gay roles in his recent work.
He played "Handsome Lover" in the short film Winesburg: Death, an adaption of a Sherwood Anderson story,but it was a heterosexual lover.
He's friends with the gay-friendly former Disney kids Sprouse Brothers, but also with the non-gay-friendly former Disney kid Nathan Kress.
I probably should be following his older brother, Chris Brochu, instead.
1. More shirtless photos.
2. He's friends with Scott Eastwood.
3. He played a gay character in The Vampire Diaries.
4 In 2018 he starred in Tell Me a Story, a tv series with fairy tales reimagined into a "dark and twisted psychological thriller." One of his costars was Disney boy Austin Butler.

iCarly wasn't Disney. It was a Dan Schneider joint. Which makes me worry about the girls of iCarly.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Schneider sexual predator thing was all extrapolating from the dirty jokes on his shows. Have there been any actual reports?
DeleteI've heard that Amanda Bynes confessed a desire to murder her father (for bringing her into Schneider's Bakery) back in 2004. And there's the Jamie Lynn Spears rumor, though all I can substantiate is Spears was pregnant, father unknown.
DeleteNickelodeon did dump him as #MeToo became a thing, so, maybe? But his shows' ratings were lagging, and they fired Zarghami around the same time, so, cleaning house?
