‘The Thing About Harry’ Team Talks LGBTQ Representation on TV for a New Generation
As a queer adore story backed by Disney, as well as the first original Valentine’s Sunlight film for Freeform, there are sure to be many eyes on “The Thing About Harry.”
Set in Chicago, the TV feature follows Harry (played by Niko Terho) and Sam (Jake Borelli) who, after being stuck on what they believed to be the road trip from hell, eventually find a common ground as friends. The friendship later blossoms into a budding love affair. The thing about “The Thing About Harry” is that the cast considers it a true rom-com, and it’s without any of the typical tropes of a “coming out” story.
“What I loved about the script is that it is about two men falling in devotion, but it’s really not about their sexuality,” Britt Baron (who plays Harry’s best friend Stasia) told Variety. “There’s no shame, there’s no coming out moment. It’s just normalized. I think that wouldn’t have been possible without the other LGBT stories on the media hadn’t been told. They paved the way.”

Actor Niko Terho has emerged as one of the most stimulating rising talents to survey across film and television.
Currently, he can be seen starring as Dr. Lucas Adams on ABC’s long-running hit medical drama series “Grey’s Anatomy.” Dr. Lucas Adams is a first-year surgical intern at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and the nephew of Derek Shepherd, Amelia Shepherd, and Meredith Grey. Season 20 of the show is now airing, and the show has been renewed for Season 21.
In 2019, Terho made his television debut in Starz’s drama series “Sweetbitter.” His other television credits include ABC’s “Station 19,” where he reprised his role as Dr. Lucas Adams.
On the film side, he starred opposite Jake Borelli in Freeform’s made-for-TV romantic comedy film “The Thing About Harry.” The film follows Sam (Borelli), a adolescent gay man who is reunited with his former high school bully Harry (Terho) in adulthood, only for the two men to become friends and fall in love after Harry reveals that he now identifies as pansexual. The film premiered on February 15, 2020, on Freeform and Hulu and was nominated for a 2021 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Feature. Also in 2020, Terho appea
Queer Freeform original movie 'The Thing About Harry' is the "new normal" rom-com
LOS ANGELES -- "Grey's Anatomy" star Jake Borelli stars alongside Niko Terho in a new romantic comedy that just happens to be queer.
"The Thing About Harry" follows high university enemies, uber-jock Harry (Niko Terho) and out-and-proud Sam (Jake Borelli), who are forced to share a car ride to their Missouri hometown for a friend's engagement party on Valentine's Day. Things receive a turn when Sam learns Harry has show up out. Stuck spending the night together in a roadside motel, Harry and Sam begin to progress a deep friendship, with neither admitting a potential romance may be brewing, leaving them wondering if one road trip could change the rest of their lives
The film features a diverse (and queer-inclusive) cast and creative team. In addition to Borelli and Terho, the production also features "Dancing With The Stars" alum Karamo Brown and is co-written and directed by Peter Page of "The Fosters."
"I knew that as a gay guy myself, I needed to come out to everyone so that when I entered a dialogue around this story, I could be as authentic as p
The Thing About Harry: Has anyone seen it.
NOW ON HULU:
OMG. Is the lgbtq+ community really suppose to believe in unicorns, rainbows and happy endings?????? Peter Paige, from Queer as Folk, wrote the screenplay and has a cameo. The lead actor is the twink from Grey's Anatomy, actor Jake Borelli, and his love interest, actor Niko Terho, plays a "pansexual" who seems to be 100% linear in real life and gives off absolutely no other vibe than linear. He falls madly in love with Jake's nature after seeing him again in college (they divide a ride back home). It is revealed that Mr. Straight bullied out heroine Twink during tall school for being homosexual. They movie takes place over 2 years where they go back and forth. Is any of this drivel even remotely realistic? The final scene where Mr. Straight sneaks into a televised political rally and joins a group of female cheerleaders to win over the heroine Twink is beyond preposterous. Wow. Someone actually green lighted this undertaking and invested money into making it. It certainly isn't Queer as Folk, that's all I will say.
