I wouldn’t say he was a celebrity. Queer as Folk wasn’t enormous, at least I don’t remember it being so. It was mostly for queer folk. Was a slice of life drama of a group of friends in the queer community dealing with stuff the queer community has to. It was a show for us. Mikey was real cute though and he ends up marrying a professor, a big beefy slab of a man. All the characters have a sort of single trait that can seem like bad writing at first but is just a way to focus on certain sections of the community and showing the things they have to deal with. The beefyboi has HIV and considering the show came out in the 2000s it was a big deal. I thought they did it super super well. The whole show was very good. Very sexual mind you, it was on Showtime and us gays are sluts, but it was super well done.
Here’s a random scene from the show that’s quite funny if you’re interested - youtu.be/d4Y-FH0CaIY

He was Zoltan from Dude, Where’s my Car. Plus, he hosted Talk Soup. My pop culture knowledge peaked 25 years ago, so that’s all that I can contribute.
