Evan Spergel on Being Gay in the Entertainment Industry

Intellectual Erection

On this episode I speak with actor and writer Evan Spergel about navigating the entertainment industry as a gay man. Evan has known he was gay since he was four. He has also known his strong pull toward the arts, especially in performance and writing. However, the entertainment industry has posed some obstacles in trying to market Evan’s image as sexually ambiguous, if not straight. These issues have inspired Evan’s writing and ambition to produce his own projects that he tackles with sexual energy. He recommends using sexuality in healthy ways like approaching your passion projects with the same sexual energy as you would a potential conquest. This, along with his dyslexia, makes Evan an unconventional and often poetic thinker, which makes this episode especially pleasant to listen to.
