David Hyde
Pierce, known for his role on the NBC sitcom Frasier
and his Tony-nominated role in Curtains, was outed in
a May 30 Associated Press interview about his
career. The piece contained a brief mention of Hyde
Pierce's partner, a television producer for Fox TV
shows Titus and Wanda at Large.
“Pierce
got to Los Angeles in the early 1990s when his partner,
actor-writer-producer Brian Hargrove, wanted to write for
television,” the article said.
AfterElton.com’s entertainment bloggers saw the AP
article, noting that the reference to Hargrove was
buried down in the piece.
“Although
[Hyde Pierce's] sexuality has always been an open secret
within the artistic community (much like Neil Patrick
Harris), he has been reticent to speak to the topic
publicly—as is his right,” the blog says.
“In fact, our own Brent Hartinger did the first
interview with Pierce after Frasier debuted and
was told, ‘Basically, I don't talk about my
personal life.’ ”
Calls to Hyde
Pierce's representatives were not returned by press
time. (The Advocate)
