Stamos Plays it Gay (On Screen)

The ridiculously good looking John Stamos, who will be a regular on "ER" this fall as a womanizing paramedic, plays a gay wedding planner in the A&E film "Wedding Wars" set to air in the winter.

His character agrees to organize the wedding of his straight brother who works for the governor of Maine. When the governor (James Brolin) comes out against gay marriage, Stamos goes on strike. The story makes national news and leads to everone who supports gay marriage going on strike. "Wedding Wars" is a humorous look at a serious subject

"I didn't really think about the character being gay other than he was in love with a man," Stamos told Entertainment Tonight. "I didn't think of playing a stereotype. I loved his passion. I loved what he believed and how he went about it. The movie has a nice message."

Stamos previously played the gay emcee in "Cabaret" during one of his successful stints on Broadway where he also took over for Matthew Broderick in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."

Stamos has been single since a highly-publicized divorce from actress Rebecca Romijn two years ago.
