OK…the dude is very talented. And, an out gay man.

But, how much longer are we going to be seeing Tony Award winning actor Ben Platt play high school kids? He’s 25 but he’s one of those dudes who looks mature for his age….he had “Hot Dad Face” when he was 20. We could buy him as a teen in his award winning role in Broadway’s Dear Evan Hansen but he’s STILL getting cast as a high schooler in the upcoming new Netflix series from superstar TV producer Ryan Murphy. 

It’s THE POLITICIAN  and it has the usual Ryan Murphy killer cast including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Lange, and Bob Balaban in main roles plus guest spots from Dylan McDermott, January Jones, Judith Light and Bette Midler.

Read more down below…it drops on September 27th.

But, not necessarily in that order.
