Bryan Batt always has such an infectious passion for his life and work, but it’s ramped up even higher today as he is finally achieving a dream of making his stage debut in London …he calls it his favorite city in the world. Or at least one of them. This award-winning actor starred as the closeted art director “Sal” Romano in the mega hit TV series MAD MEN.    Here’s also no stranger to Broadway (he was in the original cast of CATS), and now he is about to star in HERE COMES J EDGAR, A COMEDY MUSICAL in London’s Kings Head Theatre.  It is slightly ironic that openly gay Batt is about to play yet another closeted man .

Batt is always in such great demand….he has a new movie out,….Lone Star Bull, he starred with Luke MacFarlane, (check out Queerguru’s review HERE) ……and he is scheduled to star in The Statement, a new Tom McCarthy film. He, however, generously allowed me to look back at his past and talk about Paul Rudnick’s film JEFFERY, which was his movie debut back in 1995, AND is one of Queerguru’s favorite films of all time.

When he is not treading on the boards or in front of the camera, Batt has yet another job ,….. but again it’s work he loves. With his husband, he owns a home decor store called HAZELNUT in New Orleans, full of lots of lovely must-have trinkets. It’s another stage for him just to make people happy: a talent that comes so very easily to this disarmingly charming man.
