The cast of Queer As Folk deserves kudos as well.

"""For me, the issue of which of the British or American versions of Queer As Folk is """"superior"""" is pointless and self-defeating. It's like asking which of the Star Trek series is superior. The British version of Queer As Folk laid the foundation upon which the American version has successfully built and expanded. No doubt, however, that it's about halfway through the first season, once the script breaks away from the storylines of the British version, where the American version finally hits its stride.

The cast deserves kudos as well. Nearly every scene in Queer As Folk (and not just the sex scenes) requires the actors to go above and beyond the call of duty and bare deeply buried emotions. Hal Sparks is awkwardly charming as gay Everyman Michael, the character most viewers, gay and straight, will identify with. Randy Harrison shines in his breakout role as 17 year old Justin, the quintessential portrait of middle class American gay youth. (Yet the writing of his character reveals the one true weakness of this show, and American television & film in general: gay youth are consistently portrayed as good looking, spoiled, college bound, having money to burn, and white. When are we going to see a realistic portrayal of working class or minority gay youth?) The rest of the cast fill their roles admirably, but it's Gale Harold who steals the show as Brian, easily the most complex character on television today. Brian is a promiscuous, man-stealing, drug-using jerk who almost qualifies for the """"J. R. Ewing you'll love to hate him"""" award. Yet in many ways he's the hero if the show, sticking to his own rather unusual code of ethics, calling others on their own hypocrisy, and, in spite of himself, almost always doing the right thing. Note that it's Brian who's constantly protecting Michael and coming to Justin's rescue."""
