Superman Returns star Brandon Routh, who was last seen on the just-canceled NBC series Chuck is going gay for his next project. According to Deadline, Christopher Reeve's doppelganger will be playing one half af a gay couple on a new CBS half-hour sitcom called Partners. Actor Michael Urie (Ugly Betty) will be playing Routh's partner on the series. Check out a synposis for Partners below...
The multicamera comedy, from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, centers on lifelong friends and business partners —architects Charlie, who is straight, and Louis (Urie), who is gay. Routh, repped by UTA and Main Title, will play Louis’ steady partner, a former alcoholic, club-hopping model, now a sober, vegan nurse. Regen will play Ro-Ro, Charlie and Louis’ colorful assistant.
Wit the shitty track record of many a sitcom on TV this season (I'm talking about you Whitney and Are You There Chelsea, both which are on NBC), I hope this one is good and that there will be no shying away from the gay couple being romantical.
