Her name is Gabriela (Roselyn Sanchez), and despite the fact that she's the choreographer on a gay cruise, she knows so little about gay men that she falls for Jerry's strategy: He will pretend to be gay, so that he can get close to her and then dramatically unveil his identity, or something.

Rockmond Dunbar said the same thing

Damn, I believe him too cause he was a good actor but I don’t remember seeing in anything after Soul Food except Prison Break

dude was Angela Bassett's gay husband in 9-1-1 on Fox for years until he was fired for not taking the vaccine

People not gonna like this but one person who did a gay role and popped off heavy is Jonathan Majors...i didnt even know he did a gay role in 2017, but a coli breh pointed it out and it all made sense.

You don't get a leading role on a huge franchise like MCU, Creed and lead a HBO show within 3-4 years out of no where just because of talent.
