Ok, give!! What was the 'gimick'???
And if it means he's gay, it's sad because he's married with children. I know he has that "noone should be judging but unless they hold a gavel" crapola commercial.
I already described the scenario in previous comments.
But, here it is again: he was photographed in a cast ("ensemble") ("group") photo behind stage after the recent Emmy Awards, that actor along with the rest of the cast from WILL AND GRACE.
Everyone was posed seriously in the formal attire of the night's event. And all struck a serious, formally composed stance in the photo, serious expressions, all, including the actor who portrays WILL in the Series.
The only exception to the formality was that that actor ("WILL" in the Series) was standing there with his (tuxedo) pants down around his ankles.
The photo ran among the other Emmy Awards photos in Yahoo Pictures, other news outlets.
And, as I wrote before, I realized that the pose was supposed to be humorous.
After I did an initial double-take when I saw it, the photo, I realized that the humor it tried to emulate was in effect not humor at all, but a very, very sad statement as to what our culture regards as humor. It wasn't funny outside that twisted cultural sense, is my point. When seriously reviewed, the photo, the pose with pants around the ankles, was an incredibly sad statement.
