'Mean Girls' Star Daniel Franzese Loved Playing Damian

According to Huffpost, ‘Mean Girls’ star Daniel Franzese says his breakout gay role in the film felt ‘cathartic.’

Playing Damian in Tina Fey’s teen classic, which turns 15 this week, holds personal significance for the actor-comedian.
All the gay roles that I had read had just been, like, the standard Hollywood sissy role or something that was making fun of gay people.

[The Roll] was so significant to me because Damian was able to breathe.
