Luke Macfarlane Does Rome Fiction Festival

Canadian actor Luke Macfarlane promotes his hit drama, Brothers & Sisters, with his costars Balthazar Getty and Dave Annable during the first day of the 2008 Rome Fiction Fest on Monday in Rome, Italy.

Luke, 28, Balthazar, 33, and Dave, 28, were all interviewed during the photo call. When asked what they have in common with the characters they play, Dave affirmed the importance of telling stories like his character does. Luke replied that that he feels similar to his own character for his humor. And Balthazar relates to his own character’s honesty.

Macfarlane, who came out of the closet in April, was also around to promote his new TV mini-series, Iron Road.

Luke MacFarlane: I'm Gay

Canadian actor Luke MacFarlane reveals that he is gay in an exclusive interview with Canadian paper Globe and Mail.

“I don’t know what will happen professionally,” MacFarlane said. “That is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen, because it’s my truth. … There is this desire in L.A. to wonder who you are and what’s been blaring for me for the last three years is how can I be most authentic to myself – so this is the first time I am speaking about it in this way.”

In next month’s season finale of Brothers & Sisters, Luke, 28, will suit up and say his vows as his character, Scotty Wandell, marries his partner, Kevin Walker.

“From a standing outside perspective, and also as someone who is gay, I think that it’s a very exciting time,” MacFarlane said. “How exciting that we’re saying, ‘This can be part of the cultural fabric, now,’ because it is two series regulars, two people that you invite into your home and you see every week. It’s telling of the beginning of more waves and I’m very proud of that.”

When asked whether or not he was currently dating anyone, Luke declined to comment. And although Luke is not a paparazzi favorite, photogs did catch him hanging out with Prison Break hottie Wentworth Miller last summer.
