The actor reflected on the legacy of the Emmy-winning NBC series - which also starred Debra Messing - in a recent interview with Parade.   &amp;quot;The show probably did more to educate the American public [about gay rights] than almost anything anybody&amp;#039;s ever done so far,&amp;quot; McCormack explained. He went on to admit that Will &amp;amp; Grace&amp;#039;s producers never actually intended to influence social attitudes towards homosexuals. &amp;quot;We never set out to be political or educational, but there&amp;#039;s no doubt in my mind that Will &amp;amp; Grace has been an agent for good,&amp;quot; he said.
