After making a name for himself starring as Emmett in the groundbreaking television series, Queer As Folk, Peter Paige moved his talents behind the camera. Two of the series he co-created, The Fosters and Good Trouble, both on Freeform, set the gold standard for queer and trans representation on TV.
With The Thing About Harry, Paige continues that winning streak. On top of writing, directing, and executive producing the new film, Paige also plays the roommate of Jake Borelli (Grey's Anatomy), supplying him with the "earnest, loving, pep-talk" he needs to ultimately make sure the movie has a happy ending. Peter, as well as Jake, and co-star Niko Terho, join us to talk about the groundbreaking film, the network’s response to its steamy sex scene, and how Peter convinced Grey’s Anatomy to write Jake off the show for three weeks in order to shoot The Thing About Harry.
