Sean Hayes Will Play a Gay Father Again

Details have emerged about the long-awaited return of Sean Hayes to series television, including news that he will again play a gay dad, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The new NBC comedy, which is in development for the 2012 season, will focus on two gay men bringing up a 12-year-old. Hayes previously won an Emmy, among numerous other awards, for his portrayal of Jack McFarland, the endearingly self-absorbed gay character on Will & Grace. During the third season of the hit sitcom, McFarland realized he was the biological father of a teenage son, who was the result of a sperm donation to raise money for a leather jacket.
