Kelly McGillis- The visible life of an accidental activist

Kelly McGillis has a great laugh. It rolls out like a welcome mat when she talks about her reaction to the news that the Human Rights Campaign was honoring her with the Visibility Award at their upcoming Garden Party in Palm Springs on November 7.

“I don’t know,” she responds after her rich laughter ebbs. “I don’t feel like I did anything to get an award. I’m sure there are far many more people in the world who have devoted themselves to really wonderful things and gay rights, and I am not one of them.”

Fans of the hit show, Frasier, that dominated the small screen from 1993-2004, will remember Dan Butler as the rabidly heterosexual radio personality Bob ‘Bulldog’ Briscoe, who teased colleagues and chased after anything in a skirt with energetic glee.

Butler’s shaping of the character, infusing him with characteristics he gleaned from his father, led to a successful stint as a recurring character on the award-winning series. It is a great testament to Dan’s acting abilities that an out and proud gay man could play so indelibly straight.
