Horrible, awful. Poorly written, even more poorly acted. An insult to gay black men.

People watched it for Wade and the hot Downlow bruthas on it

Barely anyone watched this sad attempt to create a black version of Queer as Folk.

"Noah's" star Darryl Stephens, along with DL Icon Linda Lavin, has been promoted to series regular on "B-Positive."

Black gay men and black women certainly watched it

R6 No. 5 black gay men and 0 black women watched it. Stop trying to make this show that never happened happen.

LOL! That's like saying your one-woman show was a hit with the ladies at the bridge club.

I thought Darryl Stephens was great in the indie gay film "From Zero to I Love You." He plays the lover of Guiding Light's Scott Bailey. They had great chemistry together.

Loved it & still miss it.

Darryl is one of the Janet stans on DL. He’s probably one of these posters in this thread, too.

Why would you think people reading a thread ABOUT A SHOW HE STARRED IN wouldn't know who he is?

Stupidest comment of the day.

R21 You're the only one who knows who he is, OP.

Again, stop trying to make this show - and this "actor" - that never happened happen.

R23 We know, OP, we know.

It'll have an audience of one - you.

r10 the only way a reboot happens is if Tyler Perry co-produces it. That's how the black women will watch.

Darryl Stephens had the worst styling/wardrobe I have ever seen on this show.

Then again, it was femme fantasy before it became mainstream. But I still hated it.

Wade could have fucked me on the low, though. FO SHO.

Well... I'm a Black gay male and I enjoyed the show. I even bought the DVDs and watch it ever so often. Yep, it has/had its problems but it was nice to see a show that starred/featured Black actors, who were all gay, and the relationship among them. I miss it.

What saddens me (and it speaks to roles for Black actors--particular Black gay actors) is that none of them really worked after the series ended--even the writer/producer of the show.

I recall reading long ago that it wasn't Black women who watched the show. You know how much they hate we Black gays anyway... But, that it was White straight women (even though it was on LOGO) that really watched the show.

I crushed on Darryl and the light skinned fella with the big muscles. Gregory Keith is his name I think. He’s now a screenwriter.

R33- Did you see the episode when that psycho whore was trying to steal him from Alex? I liked that show.

Gregory Keith was the unsung hero of that show.

And he could pound me until kingdom come.

Keith Hamilton Cobb was on for a few episodes, I remembered him from All My Children as Noah. The attack on Noah had me crying my eyes out. I was saying "Yes!" when Wade knocked the hell out of the attacker. I do not remember the show that came on before NA, but that is how I began watching it. I would definitely watch a reboot.

jensen atwood (wade of noah's arc fame)has been talked on the website ad nauseum. Folks are spotting him hugged up with ladies, so that means he's straight :dead:

HE IS GAY. he just ended a 7 month relationship w/ my cousin (who is openly gay).

I did r34. One of my favorite episodes. They did make a movie that closed up some storylines, but I cursed Logo for canceling the series. At the time we had no representation of the GBM community and it seemed so shortsighted. Eventually Logo became a pussy cable network, like gay television for straight people.

I saw the movie finale, Jumping the Broom, in theaters in NYC. It was silly, but Phoebe Snow's cameo/song was cute.. Apparently she got into the original show while dealing with the death of her daughter.

R31) Same for Queer as Folk. None of those White actors went on to have any success.

by Anonymousreply 49September 5, 2021 2:50 PM

R49 that’s because there are all terrible actors. But as gays we are obligated to watch these shows.

by Anonymousreply 51September 5, 2021 3:04 PM

Does anybody have any idea of what these actors were paid to do these roles? Even a guestimate. I found that the movie had a budget of $5MM but only a box office of $533K. That explains why Patrick-Ian-Polk has never really worked again....

But, what about the actors? It would be very sad to learn that these actors are now stereotyped for a role that they really didn't make any money off of.

And as an actor, you’re still working. I see you pop up every now and again all over the place in the different shows. But you haven’t had as substantial a role as Noah since then.

[quote]it has been challenging. One of the roles I got, which I’m not going to lie, I’ve been paid the most for in this industry was a non-speaking role that I got on Two and a Half Men. There was a line that got cut, but I ended up being essentially a glorified featured extra. But that show plays so much in the world that I make more money on that show, that non-speaking role, than I probably have elsewhere which is insane to think. That puts everything in perspective for me. If I was one of the main characters on this show that ran for two seasons and a movie and I make more money in a little featured extra role on Two and a Half Men, that tells me a lot. It’s humbling and it’s been a constant recalibration in terms of how I see myself and where I see myself in the industry. But I will say, in the last couple of years, there’s been this moment where I feel like everybody who saw Noah’s Arc is finally getting into those positions where they’re like, “Wait a minute, shouldn’t he be working?” Lena [Waithe] called me in to do something on her show Twenties.
