Daniel Franzese has joined the cast of Looking.
The actor, best known for playing Damian in cult teen comedy Mean Girls, will appear in the second season of HBO’s gay-themed drama as a character called Eddie who works in the charity sector in San Francisco, THR reports.
Franzese, 35, came out as gay earlier this year in an open letter to his Mean Girls character in which he recalled the struggles he went through playing a gay character while he was still in the closet.
Meanwhile, Looking has also added a transgender character to its cast for season two, which is due to air in 2015 – find out more here.
