Jesse williams is he gay
'Grey's Anatomy' star Jesse Williams makes a case for why straight actors can play gay roles in his Broadway debut, 'Take Me Out'
On the surface, Jesse Williams is not much different from Darren Lemming, the baseball superstar he plays in "Take Me Out."
He's biracial and charming and handsome, and for much of his life, he played baseball. One or all of those things combined has probably helped him come in and thrive in the elite circles he frequents now as an star and producer, who's perhaps most recognizable for his fan-favorite role as Dr. Jackson Avery on ABC's hit medical drama "Grey's Anatomy."

Review: Take Me Out, Starring Jesse Williams, Lays Bare the Price of Being Gay in the Major Leagues

Twenty years ago, Richard Greenberg's play Take Me Out premiered downtown at the Widespread Theater before it moved to Broadway, won a Tony for best play, and was shortlisted for a Pulitzer. Second Stage's new revival, now running at the Helen Hayes Theater, was scheduled to open when Covid shut the world down, but its opening right now feels like great timing. The remain was worth it.
Part of that has to do with the fact that at this moment a lot of us are feeling the need for comedy. Not that Take Me Outis that (the play does drift somewhat clumsily into the realm of tragedy), but it certainly has that, and in this production, it comes in the form of Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
