In between directing tentpole blockbuster properties like Dreamgirls, the live-action Beauty and the Beast, and the last two Twilight installments, you can usually count on gay director Bill Condon to go small. After all, his Oscar was for the indie Gods and Monsters, and he was the man who brought us Kinsey and the Ian McKellen-starring arthouse film Mr. Holmes.
Now Condon is re-teaming with McKellen for The Good Liar, a drama about a con man who thinks he’s found the perfect mark in rich widow Helen Mirren, only to have the tables turn on him when they grow a little too close. The film also stars Jim Carter (Downton Abbey’s Mr. Carson) and Looking’s Russell Tovey, two actors we’re always happy to see, so we’ll be marking our 2019 calendars for this movie’s appearance sometime next fall.
Learn this name: Kiersey Clemons
Young, queer, up-and-comer Kiersey Clemons had a recurring role on Transparent. She also co-starred in the films Dope, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and Hearts Beat Loud. But if you haven’t placed her yet, a name to a face, your task will soon become easier.

Coming soon you’ll see her as “Darling,” one of the human beings in the live-action Lady and the Tramp; she’s also going to be part of Rent: Live in January of 2019; running alongside Ezra Miller in the upcoming superhero film Flashpoint; and taking the starring role in the film adaptation of the memoir The Language of Flowers, about a young woman who grew up in foster care. So if you’re wondering when the next generation of LGBT actors is going to come along, they’re already out and here, waiting for you to notice.
