It’s this thing that, as you get older, you find other people that also did that, and you’re like, “Oh, all of this.” I sank myself into these things, and I was doing it for a reason, even if I didn’t fully know what it was.

As someone who’s aware of the representation you bring to the TV and films you’re in, what media helped you feel seen?

When I was younger, I really loved Will and Grace, and I didn’t know, necessarily, a world outside of that.

He’s appeared in nearly 40 movies and TV series, and is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Donny in the 2019 musical fantasy comedy movie “Isn’t it Romantic”, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, and which starred Adam Devine, Liam Hemsworth and Rebel Wilson. It follows an author who’s returned to his hometown of Sacramento to visit his dying mother, and the film won three of its 15 award nominations.

Also in 2016, Brandon was cast to play Audience Chuck in the comedy drama “Don’t Think Twice”, which was nominated for seven awards, and he starred as Secretary in the short comedy “Spanglish”.

In 2018, he played Glen in the popular biographical crime drama “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”, directed by Marielle Heller, and which starred Melissa McCarthy, Richard E.

Grant and Dolly Wells. And it becomes so personal.

Looking at your career as a whole, when did you understand that the roles you choose are important and they matter?
I don’t know if there’s ever been one point, but I know that it’s been really nice between this show and “Ghosts” to see the fan reaction on Twitter of people either recognizing queer moments or, on “Ghosts,” I have a coming out [arc], which it’s been very nice to see the reaction to that.

One, I think you get to see some different levels of Curtis where he’s sort of been very silly in a lot of fun ways and a good friend. The following couple of years saw him appear in an episode or two of the comedy “The Characters”, the comedy drama “Broad City”, and the comedy “Girls”.

In 2019 and 2020, Brandon portrayed John Wheaton in the critically acclaimed fantasy comedy “The Good Place”, written by Michael Schur, and which starred Jameela Jamil, William Jackson Harper and Kristen Bell.

And I remember the first time I put my comedy writing live on stage, and to see the reaction to that, then the reaction on the business side to that, was really, really encouraging.

When you got the script for this season of “The Other Two,” what was the scene you couldn’t wait to shoot?
Oh, god, there’s a couple.

His work has also appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, GQ and Billboard. I think, in addition to all the comedy that we get to play, there’s a scene or two toward the end of the season that we were both excited to really sink our teeth into.

Yeah. It was really fun to see those characters come up, but then a lot of the stuff that I really, really identified with, I didn’t even recognize to be queer culture.

While doing this interview, it’s hard not to think about the first episode of this current season — navigating the promo of a TV show. You thought you were the only person who saw it?
I thought I was the only person who sat there and saw it.

I think trying to stay involved [and in] that world and understanding also the lens through which we look at it — which is sometimes through the entertainment industry — I know me and Drew, as queer actors, you get to see all of these little nuances of [how] people want you to be a certain way, they want you to act a certain way, and that usually corresponds with pop culture.

It was a two-night event, and I did not miss either night. And earlier this year, he could be seen on the big screen alongside Nicolas Cage’s Dracula in the horror-comedy Renfield, now streaming on Peacock. What’s it like to be able to go so deep into niche LGBTQ+ culture within this show? 

It’s really fun.

It’s almost… I’m the person on my shoulder; it’s still this constant back and forth that I have with myself of, “Am I being enough of the person that I want to be?

“The Other Two” really does know queer culture inside and out.
