I think people need to stop caring about what orientation can play what roles and just focus on how that actor him/herself is doing for that role...
If you can play the role, it doesn't matter if you are gay or straight...you are a good actor! :D

Neil Patrick Harris and Jim Parsons

Kelsey Grammer is an avowed straight actor playing the straight role of Frasier Crane, yet I find him often unconvincing acting as a heterosexual, womanizing character in the series. According to Ramin Setoodeh's logic, I should then take this example and generalize that all straight actors can't play straight roles.

A straight man can fake a gay man's "lisp" and girlish mannerism, but a gay man cannot realistically fake the butchness of a manly man. Just look at all the straight-acting queens: does anyone take more than 3 seconds to tell that they are gay? Gays have feminine characteristics that they can't hide no matter how much they try. A gay guy with short hair, a leather jacket and a a motorcycle still looks gay, and a straight guy with long hair and a pink shirt still seems straight.

I think How I Met Your Mother is FUNNIER now that I know he's gay. Every time he says something really really REALLY hetero, I chuckle.
But then when he looks longingly at Robin, I forget!~

Neil Patrick Harris, Zachary Quinto, Ian McKellen, Peter O'Toole...
