Agree on Raymond Burr. I was genuinely surprised when I found out he was gay.

If you pay attention, you can see Raymond Burr occasionally lose his self-control and queen out for a few seconds on Perry Mason.

J.E. Freeman, who played the vicious thug in Miller’s Crossing. The character is written to be gay, but Freeman himself didn’t ping, for me at least.

Ben Aldridge from Fleabag doesn’t ping at all on screen. But when he isn’t acting, boy do the handbags 👜 fly out.

Jodie Foster pings--not to me, R12. Isn't the thread about "Actors who are/were gay but don't ping for you onscreen"?
So mind your own business, si vous plait.

Speaking of Fleabag, Andrew Scott doesn't really ping for me, either

R11 Jodie is a Bull dyke, I can’t see her in a relationship with a man at all.

Great, but I disagree. I think she is sexy with men in The Inside Man. My opinion.

Jesse Martin is NOT gay. I've worked with him a couple of times and know him pretty well.

Pedro Pascal is a badass on The Mandalorian, but then, that's also not really him in the costume most of the time.

R33, He’s much better on Narcos and Game Of Thrones.

R31, if that's true then I guess he's the opposite of this thread - a guy who's straight but comes across as gayish on the screen

Off topic but, are Pedro Pascal and Edgar Ramirez a couple?

Clooney doesn't ping onscreen but does in interviews. He reminds me of Raymond Burr in many ways and is even starting to look like him.

Do any DLers know Dino Fetscher? He's a young British actor, very hot, appeared in the UK series Gentleman Jack, Humans, Paranoid, The Split, Banana, Years and Years, etc., who can totally read as straight. But he's gay and very upfront about it in interviews and on Instagram. Check him out!

Guillermo Diaz. I knew him from Weeds and would not have guessed he was gay.

I don't think it's that Andrew Scott doesn't ping on screen ever, because he brings a gay sensibility to his roles when he wants to and he pings plenty there. I just think it's that he's a brilliant actor and can shut it on and off at will. Agree about Russell Tovey too. Both those men come from a background of homophobic religious parents who probably forced them to codeswitch 24/7 and present as butch as possible growing up or risk backlash from family and peers, so they lean into that as actors now.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Robert Reed.
Also, Earl Holliman if anyone remembers him.
As a kid I never thought Richard Deacon seemed gay, just a big nerd.

We have not. He keeps a very low profile but he hasn't had a public girlfriend in several years.

George Chakiris came off as creditably straight when he wasn't kicking up his heels in West Side Story.

George Nader. He was a popular actor in the 50s, but his career went down the tubes after Rock Hudson's agent outed him in exchange for the mainstream press to ignore Hudson's gay parties and, for the times, scandalous behavior. I never knew Nader was gay until the stories surfaced about his unspeakable treatment by the agent.
