Is mayim bialik gay


When it comes to recognizing and embracing promising talent, the gays have been at it longer than practically everyone else. Remember the opening sequence of “Beaches,” with the lead characters as children? That was a young Mayim Bialikin one of her earliest film roles, playing Bette Midler’s C.C. Bloom as a kid. Ask any of us and we’ll tell you we knew she was going to be a star. Since then, Bialik has had her control hit network sitcom in the nineties as the titular “Blossom,” and she stole the display in every scene in which she appeared in the even more thriving 21st century sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” as Amy Farrah Fowler. She also managed to find the hour to earn a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA. In “Call Me Kat,” her first sitcom after “Big Bang Theory,” Bialik plays Kat, the single and sassy owner of a Louisville cat café.

Jim Parsons, Cheyenne Jackson on playing straight with Mayim Bialik: 'She does construct it very easy'

Jim Parsons and Cheyenne Jackson agree: It's a breeze to play a straight quixotic interest, or at least a potential one, when acting opposite Mayim Bialik.

The two actors, who are gay, now have that in common. Parsons' Sheldon and Bialik's Amy fumbled through a sweet and humorous love story on CBS comedy "The Massive Bang Theory" for nine seasons, while Jackson ("American Horror Story") plays a former college crush who re-enters the life of Bialik's title character, a year-old single gal who owns a cat café, in the new Fox comedy, "Call Me Kat," premiering Jan. 3 (8 EST/PST). Parsons and Bialik are executive producers.

Representation and identity in casting are serious issues in TV and film, but the topic came up playfully during a Zoom chat Wednesday with  the show's cast and producers when one reporter facetiously asked Jackson about taking the role of Max from "marginalized" straight actors.
