Mike Ruiz seems to be everywhere these days: Playing judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and Tyra Banks’ “America’s Next Top Model,” shooting celebrity photographs, or starring in a reality-TV show on Logo.
Ruiz comes across as a cuddly muscle bear, with scruffy good looks, a smoldering smile that would win over any critics, and a heart of gold. He gives back to the LGBT community that adores him, and his philanthropic work is extensive.
