Likely as not his supporters and fans will still believe that he’s in the right no matter what he says, and to be certain, his decision is his own and it’s one that should be respected. It’s not hard to see why he would feel a certain way about this, but as much as those in different parts of society want to tell people to watch their words since they can have more than one meaning, Miller might need to check himself a little and make certain that he’s not engaging in a bout of hypocrisy that will keep his words from meaning as much. The underlying meaning behind this is that a lot of people want more representation for the LGBTQ+ community in movies and TV, and that’s easy to understand, but had Miller said it in this manner it might have helped to keep the acidic bite out of the words since each story that’s brought to the audience deserves to be told, and being condescending towards any story, no matter how one feels about it, is never a great idea.Īnother reason why this felt like a biting comment by Miller happens to be due to the idea that he was trying to reach those of his shared community concerning their feelings and to let them know that he was staying true to himself and doing what he could to represent the community, and had already been set on by cisgender folks that were upset about his decision to step away from Prison Break, mostly because they happen to enjoy the show. That works, and it’s better for him no doubt, but saying that the stories of straight characters have ‘been told (and told)’ is bound to strike some people the wrong way. That’s not hard to comprehend, as it sounds as though he wants to be who he is and take on parts that will allow this to happen. as a part of the LGBTQ+ community, Miller has openly stated that he’s tired of being a gay man that plays a straight man.
The reason behind this is easy to listen to and even understand since he’s made his decision and it’s very possible that some folks have tried to call him out on it, but at least one of his replies, which feels a bit canned and ready to use by some folks when it comes to various reasons why they won’t do something, might be one reason that people are getting down on him. Wentworth Miller has made up his mind when it comes to whether or not he’ll be appearing on another season of Prison Break, and the answer is a firm no.
