Colton Haynes Says Acting Offers Have Dried Up Since He Come Out

MISS MEMORY LANE
Haynes was hailed as the hunk of the month back in the early 2010s when his roles in Teen Wolf and The CW’s Arrow launched. It was clear that he was talented by the hoards of fans he collected – and then he came out.

In a new memoir titled Miss Memory Lane, the 34-year-old actor recounts anecdotes of his experience in the entertainment industry and throughout his earlier days in modelling. By all accounts, this is a candid and unabashed story that demonstrates the fickle and often cold nature of fame.

For Haynes, coming out was something he was warned against throughout his career, reports Out. In an interview on the Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef podcast, Haynes elaborates his feelings towards the industry.

“It is extremely hard navigating the industry as an out person, an out LGBTQIA+ actor, no matter how hard the media loves to try to tell you that, you know, things are different now, they’re not,” he says. “I played straight characters my whole career. Then I came out of the closet and now the opportunities aren’t there.”

Hollywood and media insiders herald a new age of inclusion, but these quotes signify that Haynes doesn’t feel things have changed enough. Queer actors hiding their identity to maintain consistent work is long thought to be over, but being pigeonholed into an archetype is something the actor feels is too common.  “But also I think we just have to start making our own things and we have to start writing our own things and trying to uplift our communities as much as we can and not be the people in the community who try to continue to tear it down as well,” he says.

Appalling that actors still feel the need to hide their sexuality. It's a shame that there is a such a closed minded attitude to acting in some circles. Straight actors should be able to play gay characters and vice versa. After all, their job is to portray a character with all the personaility traits that come with the role.

"Hollywood" is as fickle as the audiences it desires to attract.  Augmented by latent orientations in the general society.  A society that generally sees anything "same sex" as "queer and unusual" rather than "mainstream hetero".  NOT to forget the many religious orientations involved in these things.

Perhaps the current actors which are "out and proud" attained higher levels of acceptance and acknowledgemnet before they revealed their true beings to the general public?  NOT to diminish Colton's level of attainment by any means!

It can take GUTS to be out, by observation, in many cases.  More GUTS than many heteros will ever know about.  Unfortunately, "bucking normality" still has consequences.  Someday, we'll hopefully get to a "Star Trek"-like society where work performance is what people know other by rather than their choice of bed partners!

Best of luck to Colton and others like him!

Colton Haynes has a new movie coming out I think. I saw him in a commercial for something. I'm not sure what it is in his IMDb.

Interesting as well as depressing. Even in the socalled liberated society, there is still a taboo for a Gay Man.  Very sad!

I have mixed feelings.  There are many actors who have come out, did not make a big deal about it, or write a book; Matt Bomer, Neil Patrick Harris, Wentworth Miller... to name a few.  If writing a book  makes you feel better, go for it.  Don't play the victim.  Try coming out in the 70's and 80's.  Get arrested because your feet are facing the wrong way in a stall.  Get beat up.  Get your car vandalized. Told you cant hold hands in a movie theatre.  Just my opinion.

I'm sure there are plenty of nice men who could take good care of him... 😍

It looks as though that may already have happened. He was married for over 1 year (since divorced) to Jeff Leatham, 17 years his senior. There are certainly a number of TV roles for super-hot men in their 20s, often to play teen-agers, that dry up as the actors get older. I don't think that most of the stars from Teen Wolf are still getting a lot of roles, even those who are straight or closeted.
