Driving in Atl
Going up I-75 in Atl I saw a billboard that made me lmao.
It was a picture of a guys face that took up most of the billboard and the words, "I questioned Homosexuality". Then it said something else about curing queer through Christ or some such (I was driving and it was downtown. I didn't read it all). Here's my question.
How much do you think it was worth to that out of work actor to be forever known as "Hey aren't you the gay guy from that billboard?"

Hey, when you are an actor: work is work.
Think they have much of a problem filling the "...you know, not so fresh..." commercials, or the erectile dysfunction, or hemmorroids, etc...?
I don't. Beats working at Denny's.

If you're doing those commercials, you're still working at Denny's.
The most common thing those actors hear is, "Can I get some more coffee?"

yes, but you are working in Denny's, WITH your car insurance paid, and a new stereo... (plus SOMETHING to put in your portfolio for the next "call")

I always wonder about the people in the Valtrex commercials.

How about the guys in commercials for stuff like Herpes awareness? How many times do you think they have to explain "It's just a commercial" to their girlfriends?

True, but the wrong exposure can limit that actors future. Type-casting, and such.

Not everyone cares either way whether someone is gay or not anyway. Come on out of the Dark Ages.

That's not the point. The point is the guy will be associated because of the billboard. What's even funnier is that someone spent all that money on the ad, because they think you can cure gay with a little dose of Jesus.
