Tyler not only showed skills in acting but is also said to have put effort into expressing the character well to people. In an interview with HuffPost, he explained the character and his efforts. Tyler James Williams said,
“It’s one of the highlights of my career, honestly. I had this conversation with some friends recently about stereotypical characters. That would be portrayed depending on where we were in society.
I felt like the new stereotypical character is a gay character where you can’t just have a regular everyday guy who just happens to be gay.”
This conversation tells us that Tyler played the gay role for it being different from himself and his other film roles where he is straight.
He also told the interviewer that when he got to know the character well, he felt to do things more right. Tyler James Williams said, “After I found that out, I just felt more of a responsibility to do that right.” We must understand that the “Let It Shine” actor didn’t say that he was gay, and so he portrayed the role.
