Because Denis O\u2019Hare is prone to playing despicable straight characters, many people aren\u2019t aware that he is a homosexual off-screen. For example, he played Senator John Briggs in \u2018Milk\u2019 and Christina Applegate\u2019s boyfriend in the Broadway production \u2018Sweet Charity.\u2019 O\u2019Hare\u00a0married a man named Hugo Redwood<\/b>\u00a0in July 2011.<\/p>\n

Sykes\u2019 most notable performance as a straight character was in the 2001 comedy film \u2018Pootie Tang<\/b>,\u2019 in which she played the title character\u2019s love interest.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But his character Barney Stinson on \u2018How I Met Your Mother\u2019 is\u00a0the polar opposite:<\/b>\u00a0a lying, cheating womanizer who eventually decided to settle down with one woman.<\/p>\n
