 Setoodeh also challenged the acting ability of openly gay actor Jonathan Groff, who had recently joined the cast of "Glee".While recognizing Groff as "a knockout singer and a heartthrob" for his Broadway performance in "Spring Awakening", Setoodeh found that Groff's television performance was "off" and distracting.From these two performances, along with how Setoodeh's perceptions of the performances of actors Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter, Van Johnson and Anthony Perkins—closeted or semi-closeted during their careers but now known to have been gay—changed with his knowledge of the actors' homosexuality, Setoodeh concluded that once the public learns that an actor is gay, the actor can no longer convincingly play straight characters.
