Actor Wilson Cruz was last seen stripping down for the holidays. Tonight he'll suit up in a kilt for Grey's Anatomy and the big question: Does he kilt au nauturel?
I have great legs so I’m okay with that. I’m comfortable in a skirt as much as people like to see me in them but it was my first time in a kilt and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I will say this - I am a method actor so I’ll let you decide whether or not I was true to the kilt in the historical sense.
Cruz describes his guest role as the "partner of a man who has a horrible accident after our domestic partnership ceremony" and "what started out as a dream day turns out to be a bit of a nightmare." One can't help but wonder if tonight's episode will delve into the "nightmare" many same-sex couples have faced during hospital emergencies ...
The actor says that Grey’s Anatomy has done "an enormous job" on LGBT issues.
It’s not just about the fact that they have gay characters on them. It’s the situation in which these characters are put in. It’s one thing to have a courtroom drama and they can just say the judge who is presiding over the case is gay and that’s fine and we’re out, thank you very much. But what I think is important about what Grey’s does is they actually deal with real-life situations and real-life emotions and relationships and that’s how we change hearts and minds. Personally, one of the strongest things we can do as part of our movement is to tell our stories. That’s how we get people to understand our lives and how we get them to understand our struggle.

I can't wait for this episode. Wilson picks the best roles. I interviewed him yesterday for my internet radio station. It will air tomorrow night. Wilson always makes for a great interview.
Keep up the fantastic work Rod!

Mister Cruz has one of the most beautiful smiles in show business!
I always fantasize about the rugged ones, but there are a few exceptions. Wilson Cruz is adorably irresistible. Maybe if I ever met him I could "butch it up" just a little and...oh, please, fairy drag mother what do you say?
Impossible! for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage....and four white mice will never be four white horses....

Excellent story line of a committed SGL couple who weren't allowed to marry; only domestic partner status, juxtaposed against a heterosexual couple who married with ease but only did so to extend health benefits to a stranger. That was some good writing, folks at Grey's Anatomy.
