Danny Pintauro, the actor who played the little brother on the Tony Danza sitcom Who's the Boss? was recently interviewed by CNN and talked about what it was like admitting he was gay in Hollywood. He said he came out in a National Inquirer article when he was a college student at Stanford, and he agreed to the interview, according to CNN.


It was 10 years ago almost, and Pintauro seems relieved that it was over with that long ago. It didn't hurt his acting career, either. "If it hadn't been the Enquirer, it would have been something else," he says. "I was actually glad it had happened."

He now works as an assistant at a talent agency and has occasional acting gigs, and no longer has to play any part in real life. "Everyone in the country knew I was gay, so the attempt to play someone straight was hard," he said. "And I wasn't sure I wanted to. I was very comfortable being gay."
