Silverman Show’s Brian breaks hearts of gay cubs
”I like dudes. I just, uh, don’t sleep with them…. We tackle the gay marriage thing. Steve really wants to get married and kind of convinces my character. We also — Steve wants to have a baby, so I help him make a robot baby, and then pray to Satan to make the robot baby come to life…. Yeah, I’ve had some guys be disappointed. Well, I’m a ‘type.’ I’m a ‘bear.’ You know, the little cubs — those are the little fellas that like big bears. I’ve had a couple of them, like, ‘Are you really gay?’ And I’m like ‘No.’ And they frown.”
Brian Posehn, the slow talking, bearded, straight actor who plays gay Brian Spukowski on the very goofy Comedy Central program, The Sarah Silverman Show. (G4TV)
