The hit HBO Max series "Hacks" focuses on the relationship between a famous Joan Riveresque stand-up comic, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), with her career on the skids and a Millennial writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) she hires to make her relevant. While there is nothing sexual (except in a dream sequence) about their relationship, "Hacks" is surprisingly queer-friendly and filled with queer content. Not only is Ava gay, coming out of a bad relationship; but so is Deborah's right hand Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins), who hooks up with a local water inspector Wilson (Johnny Sibilly); as is another of Deborah's personal assistant, Damien, (Mark Indelicato, who previously portrayed Justin on "Ugly Betty.") Making it authentic is that each of these four actors is out as gay or bi in real life. On the show, Wilson comes to Deborah's Vegas mansion to cite her for water usage but hooks up with Marcus. In a subsequent episode, Marcus fabricates a water emergency to hook up with Wilson a second time is understandable given Sibilly's looks. But as the show progresses, Sibilly's part became more nuanced and integral to the plot. No doubt he'll have a larger one in Season Two. The actor also recently caught the eye of Colton Underwood and was seen with him this week in Mexico. "Hacks" isn't Sibilly's first role on series television. He was seen on "Pose" as Billy Porter's boyfriend Costas, who died of complications of AIDS in the hit show's first season. While his appearance on the show was brief, he tweeted how important the show was in his life. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ???? (?: Johnny Sibilly Instagram / @johnnysibilly)
