Ethan metz gay

If Fin Argus, who stars as Derek in the movie “Stay Awake,” now available on VOD, looks familiar to you, you may recognize them from their portrayal as Mingus in Peacock’s revival of “Queer As Folk” or most recently as Lucas Lambert Moy on Max’s “The Other Two.” Depending on your age, you may also recognize them from the time they spent as a member of “Kidz Bop.”

In “Stay Awake,” Argus’ character Derek and his kid brother Ethan (Wyatt Oleff) fight to keep their prescription drug-addicted mother Michelle (Chrissy Metz) alive and avoid her from overdosing, which she does with some frequency. Argus is amazing as Derek, believable and empathetic. The out star was kind enough to make time for an interview prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike. 

Fin, what was it about the traits of Derek in “Stay Awake” that appealed to you as an actor?
Derek is a born and bred people-pleaser. That&#;s something I can relate to. I grew up in an evangelical environment, which for me, turned into appeasing everyone else&#;s wishes for my life way and personality. I saw a lot of that in Derek. There were things that I could relate to in his experience of caring for some past the aim of act
