Anthony Rapp

Anthony Rapp Instagram – Voyaging to a new frontier! Kicking off our series of #StarTrek Collector’s Edition covers, we present #StarTrekDiscovery star Anthony Rapp. As chief engineer Paul Stamets, along with his husband Dr. Hugh Culber (played by @wcruz73), Rapp is helping take the @startrek franchise’s long-held utopian values to new frontiers of representation. He’s not just one of the first two gay lead characters on a ‘Star Trek’ show; now, four seasons in, he’s part of one of the best queer families on television. ⁠
⁠
Out since early in his career, Rapp is no stranger to queer chosen families – first making his name on Broadway, playing Mark Cohen as part of the original cast of ‘Rent.’ For Rapp, the decision to work as an out actor was an easy one. “The stakes are just too high for me, not just for me personally, but for all of us in our society, in our world,” @albinokid1026 tells @meyrude in our feature. “Visibility makes a difference, it’s unquestionable. The whole reason that progress has happened is that so many people sit up and demand to be seen.” Click the link in bio to read the full feature and stay tuned as we reveal more covers. 📸:@james_weber; ⁠
