Peacock’s reboot of the iconic TV drama Queer As Folk has added another terrific name to its cast: Nyle DiMarco, reports Out magazine.
The show is a New Orleans-set reimagining of Russell T. Davies’ classic British show about a group of gay friends. According to a statement, DiMarco is joining as a guest star, and his character will be a “charming grad student.” Not much else is currently known about the role.
DiMarco first became famous when he was the first deaf contestant to win America’s Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars. Since then, he’s packed in the projects, producing the Netflix short film Audible, and the award-winning Netflix docu-series Deaf U. Audible follows a deaf high school football player named Amaree McKenstry-Hall and was shortlisted for the Academy Awards.
In October 2015, DiMarco came out as sexually fluid when asked during an interview with Out magazine about his sexuality.
