Before Johnny Sibilly was an out-and-proud star of game-changing LGBTQ+ shows like “Pose,” “Hacks,” and the “Queer as Folk” reboot, he was an actor in a class, trying to find his voice and place in the entertainment industry.
In this LGBTQ-focused course — called Act Out, in New York City, where he met now-prominent trans actors like Laverne Cox, Trace Lysette, and Jamie Clayton — his coach asked him to alternate playing Lucy and Ricky Ricardo with a Bronx accent.
The result was “very John Leguizamo vibes,” Sibilly recalls. His coach was blown away.
“Why don’t you put that out into the world instead of all these masc-for-masc selfies that you’re taking?” he said, as recounted by Sibilly in present day.
“What do you mean?” Sibilly asked.
The coach replied, “You don’t know your full potential until you lean into those parts of you that are special.”
That moment marked a major turning point for Sibilly, who had previously believed in high school and college that “maybe I have to butch it up in order to be taken seriously” as an actor.
The class showed him a new path toward authenticity. His coach was fond of recounting how several queer actors he knew had turned down prominent gay roles, like in “Will & Grace,” for fear of being pigeonholed in the entertainment industry. In the end, straight actors usually took the roles the gay actors were afraid to take. It’s a lesson Sibilly, now 34, would never forget.
“For me, I always say if I never played a straight character ever again, I would be perfectly fine with that — just because there’s so many queer stories that haven’t been told that I am dying to tell. It would be an honor to only play queer characters forever,” he says.
The value of authenticity was an important lesson

Amber Heard allegedly has Jason Momoa to thank for keeping her role in, according to industry expert Kathryn Arnold.Arnold testified in court on Monday during day 20 of Johnny Depp's lawsuit against his ex-wife, where she claimed that Heard's role had been diminished in the second movie, and testified that this usually wouldn't be the case if an actress was a success in the first film. Heard was paid $1 million for the first film, and was set to be paid $2 million for the second. However, after Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, called Heard's claims of abuse a «hoax,» Arnold claims that Heard suffered significant career damage.Arnold further claims that Heard's salary for the second movie could have been higher if not for the statements made by Waldman, and she has not been involved in the promotion for the new film — which ultimately hurts her career as well.Arnold claims that Momoa was able to renegotiate his salary for the second film to $15 million, up from $3 million which he got for the first, but Heard never got a similar opportunity for that sort of financial bump.
