Mark Sheppard On Playing A Gay Character

A fan asks Mark Sheppard how he feels about Canton from Doctor Who being gay and he shares a great perspective on it.

[@Socandpaf]

oh my god MARK SHEPPARD IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST PERSON ON THE PLANET

[@trenae77]

Mark's essentially saying that Canton's character is not defined by his sexual orientation - rather, it is just another piece of the whole.

[@pennyfeeley2050]

Mark said it right it's really a good thing when the society comes to a place when you don't have to announce that you're gay and that people will see you as the friendly nice person you are without the label

[@MartaWomack]

Great answer by Mark! He must've thought it was important because he actually answered. He usually screws with people, changes the subject, throws insults, etc. I adore him, but if I went to see him I wouldn't be asking any questions. I'm not that brave!

[@squaredcirclepsychology]

i thought he was talking about Crowly..

[@StorytellerForeverYT]

Let's just say he is... XD Though Crowly is probably Bi

[@purplezombie4940]

Yess

[@purplezombie4940]

I wish

[@lupinbun7240]

@@StorytellerForeverYT I don't think Crowley honestly gives a shit! Lol. :D I think Crowley is just like "Are you hot to me? Yes you are. LET'S F***!!!" Hahaha!

[@clementines3322]

LupinBun we love a Pansexual king then

[@laylacarlson6296]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE MARK SHEPPARD

[@isabelaobrien2439]

[@df_stromilkymuse9548]

it's gonna be hard to bring you back to your body

[@chestermansfield788]

smart man performing a smart guy on SPN! I definetly love him, he seems very sweet and clever, and I think he really made a point here.

[@ammo9599]

I have so much more respect for the king of hell.

[@jakecroc]

It's ironic really, he plays evil roles, and does a badass narration, but deep down he's really a good guy, I can relate to that. I see Mark Sheppard as kinda of a role model for the future actor I want to be.

[@lmeow69420]

jakecroc i hope you get there someday !

[@gustavramirez2891]

Being gay myself, I adore his response xD

[@alejandro-pf1md]

I THOUGHT CROWLEY WAS GAY IIM CCYBNAHAHAHAGYUH IM AUGHING SO HARD

[@TheBluestBlue]

Crowley is gay af, don't you dare telling me otherwise :D

[@louisebrault2987]

nope he is bi

[@TheBluestBlue]

yeah you're right, when I wrote that comment I haven't seen Crowley around girls :)

[@louisebrault2987]

:) the king of hell is such a womanizer!

[@LaLobita2011]

i feel like crowley is pan leaning towards men

[@-Zikade-]

Wise words from Mark. * applauds *

[@SandraMeland]

i fucking adore this man

[@SixtySecondYoga]

He's so cute I love him!

[@kaitlynballou4819]

mark sheppard is the best person ever. . He's so sweet

[@blindkimberly1360]

One of the kindest hearts ever. I absolutely love his voice. And he always makes perfect sense.

[@suzannemenuet947]

Best answer I've ever seen given. I've only ever seen him on Supernatural and Charmed, but he is an awesome actor. I think I remember reading somewhere that he said Crowley just enjoys making people uncomfortable, regardless of sexuality.

[@ecc7989]

I THOUGHT HE MEANT CROWLEY XDD

[@andrewentwistle3386]

there are no words to describe how much I love and care for this man. "I don't care what you are"

[@houndsofroses3727]

Aww my heart melted at the end when he said "thank you my darling" before moving on to someone else x

[@pamelaJoyce384]

great question. superb explaination

[@rysart2301]

Omg I needed this! I love mark so much and hearing him say that just makes me so happy!

[@anviarlos]

I really want to see the whole panel...there are some wise words in this one.

[@Daystar311]

I love this guy! He's a wonderful actor and I hope we see him again soon, in a fantastic role!

[@dylpatrick8214]

This man is an inspirational human.

[@dARTHvADERGirl7]

Mark Sheppard is amazing

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

Whether or not someone is gay is irrelevant to me. I want ALL people to have the same rights and freedoms. I don't decide that on a case by case basis. I want human and civil rights to be for everyone, carte blanche. I even object to people being taxed differently based on their marital status.

[@heidibaltom8138]

This is one of the many reasons i love Mark. Hes so non judgemental

[@clementines3322]

I ship Crowley and Dean. Drowley

[@miadelaney7409]

Sizzlebutt, I love your profile picture!!

[@blindkimberly1360]
