Making Eyes at a gay PI
Advocate, The, April 26, 2005
LOOK OUT, Jack and Carson, there's a new kind of queer on the tube--the gay tough guy. Rick Worthy (far left, with Tim Daly) plays Chris Didion, a senior partner in a high-tech, high-risk investigation firm, in ABC's new suspense drama Eyes. Didion's backstory includes a failed long-term relationship, a checkered mental history, and a secret that could bring down the entire agency--and that's just in the first episode. It's enough story line potential to make a desperate housewife green with envy.
The writers aren't shying away from gay content either. In the premiere episode, Didion's case revolves around a threat to his ex-lover and a hate-crime murder. "Chris is definitely the one who steps up to bat when it comes to mixing it up," Worthy explains. "He's scarred. He's got a past, but he has so much heart and he's so human for always trying to do the right thing. He's not Mr. Perfect at all, but I think that's why people will be drawn to him."
