I am like only 5 minutes in and I want to cry. Not only when you described your heart sinking when you found out you'd be "exposing" who you were through this role, but your parents telling you to turn it down. They're both lovely, but that had to be in some small way traumatic to hear them speak of your (unknown to them) sexuality with pause.

I'm actually very impressed by how professional your letter was. I know nothing of acting and agents, but I would have expected the agents to respect what you told them & support their actors. I understand the points they made as well, but I still think you did a good job explaining yourself. Clearly this was a difficult time in your life, but this was the journey you had to take to become the strong, confident (in your skin) person you are today. I'm proud of you for auditioning, turning it down, and taking this youtube path that I'm sure in the beginning felt even less stable than acting could be. I, for one, am selfish and are glad you're here for us. I find you such a genuinely kind person with a big heart. And it appears You're doing very well for yourself and have a lovely life. You seem to understand what's truly important in life. I commend you for choosing joy and being true to yourself today. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, Joel, that's an amazing story! Imagine turning down such a major opportunity due to fear and homophobia (others' and your own). I understand though -- that is where you were at the time in your personal journey. Thank God you've grown and gotten wiser since then! Funnily enough, I became aware of "Emmerdale" while living in the U.S. in the early 2000s because of the Aaron Livesy/Dingle storyline as played by Danny Miller. It was so so good, and it garnered a lot of international fans as the storyline was shared on KZitem. I swear, some of the acting that I watched back then on British TV soap operas including "Emmerdale" (Aaron storyline) and "EastEnders" (Christian Clarke & Syed Masood storyline) were much better than what I've seen in some Oscar-nominated American movies.

Given the description of the character and the timeframe in which he auditioned (plus the fact that the character becomes Victoria's gay bestie), it sounds like he was auditioning for the role of Finn Barton (audition casting sides often use fake names), a character that debuted around the end of 2013 and lasted until 2017 when he was shot and killed by his own mother. He ended up being played by Joe Gill.

I sometimes look back on decisions I made in the past and wonder what might have been different in my life today. When I start feeling sad or regretful, I remember what my Grandma used to always say. She’d say “ If you spend your life always looking back, you are going to stumble into a lot of walls. Look ahead and be grateful for what you’ve learned along the way”. That job might have been good professionally but emotionally you weren’t ready to be open. You needed time to mature and learn to be more confident. I’m proud of you and love seeing how confident you are now. God bless

I missed out on alot of things that I thought might "out" me when I was younger. We live and we learn. I'm praying that someone from Emmerdale sees this and calls u you in for a new part! Yes, u should definitely do more of these "near miss" stories, but also I'd love to hear about the parts u DID do, and what it felt like getting the other parts u have played. U rarely talk about your acting beyond a quick mention so I think we'd all love to hear more from both sides of your experience. Also, as far as this story goes, I'd love to hear your parents side of what they were thinking and/or feeling at the time they advise u to turn it down. Had your brother come out to the family at that point? If so, did u get advice from him about whether he thought u should do it? My family told me years later that they all had a feeling I was gay, so I'm curious if they discouraged you because they thought they were protecting u or for some other reason.

I really like this post, and any that talk about "the road not taken"... I had a similar experience being offered a great job as a production assistant for Cirque Du Soliel. They walked me through the Cirque that was in my city (I was working for a stage and lighting company at the time and networked my way through several production houses). It would have been a dream job in that it would involve a lot of travel (around the world) and was with a team of people I really respected. But I turned it down because I had a boyfriend at the time (we'd been together for 6 years at that point) and pets I felt a strong connection with. It is something I ponder from time to time as well. However, with all of that said, I would not have met my husband of 27 years now (with kids and grandkids) if I had taken that job. So, on balance that old addage is rather true, when a door closes somewhere a window is being opened. You just have to be present and recognize it when it comes. And you never know... you could still land that gig in the future. Stranger things have happened, ya know. All my best!

I'm sure it's hard to look back on that and think about what it could've turned into, but think about how going through that experience has made you into the person you are now. Playing that role of an out-and-proud gay character while trying to hide the fact that you really *are* gay, could have caused you to perform poorly due to anxiety and hyper-self-consciousness, and that might have also sullied your reputation with casting directors for future gigs. Looking back on missed opportunities is usually viewed in the best light, but the negative outcomes are rarely even considered. It could've been a lot worse!

My own story of regret: in college (uni) I was heavily involved in Campus Ministry and service work. I went to a Jesuit university and every year at least a few graduating seniors joined either the Jesuit Volunteer Corps or Mercy Corps and did one year of fulltime volunteer work, usually in a role related to your major if available. I very much wanted to join JVC, but I had about $30K in student loans and I assumed my parents would think it was irresponsible (even though I would have 100% been granted an interest-free deferral). I did not apply, and after graduation I resumed working at the genetics lab where I had interned during college. I aggressively paid down my loans, and was debt free 5yrs later. A few years after I mentioned something about kinda regretting not applying to the JVC. My parents said they had been really surprised bc they were fairly certain I was going to. They also said they would not have disapproved of me deferring my loans bc I would have been doing important service work SMH! Live and learn, right?

The only soap I admire and still enjoy is/was Coronation St, up until the Haley tale, yes that dates me!. Whichever role you might have taken for 2 years or more, gay or not, would probably have left you typecast if you were let go or wished to leave, possibly drying up messages from your agent. However who can say? You could have been left after 2 plus years with an all paid for property up North in your mid twentys. Life swivels completely on the tiniest of decisions as I as an old git can attest. I had my parents down to see me one end of May long weekend. They left at noon to go home and I, having been couped up instantly decided to go out for 'relief' to a very dingy back street city 'cinema' 20 minutes away which changed the next decade of my life. Also I much later had to take time off work to wait all day on a dishwasher being delivered and thought sod it I might as well tack another days hol off work. I went 200 miles to walk in South Wales for the first time but finished way early and met my partner of the past 14 years. Life is anything but a smooth predictable path.

I had done some modeling and professional level auditions for /commercial tv/film yet was already out of that gosh darn closet. The act and process of coming out is one of the hardest things to do in life. Especially if you have been a good straight actor and dated women. Hearing how people talk about gays especially 10+ years ago ...it just usually wasn’t ever good. Then once you come out all the horrible things some people would say about the LGBTQIA+ community magically disappear 🤔🤗🥳 (yet the worst offenders now seldom talk to you or can’t stand to look at you...and they slowly/quickly fade out of your life). The fact is, as much as it’s disappeared, it’s still there just fading away generation upon generation...

If Tommy Hilfiger is for poor people then I am seriously poor as I can not afford it at all. Any way you look good in it.

That agent was out of line! Assuming your reasons and shaming you was not professional.

If I ever get into acting I would love to be in hairspray or grease ( yes I love movie musicals) because I love both of them but tv shows I would love to be in would have to be a show about special needs or learning difficulties because I have autism so I understand what people might be going through from a personal perspective. Love the videos Joel

It's horrible growing up being told its wrong to be gay. I still carry that shame with me to this day, and still find it hard saying those words to people. Love ya from Scotland Joel! 😘

So sad to hear, especially in this day and age 😢 I have a friend whose ultra-religious parents basically cut off contact when she came out to them - back in the early 1990’s. Now they’re aging and need assistance, and the siblings are too irresponsible to be much help. So, guess who is stepping in to help now? She’s even moving home for this. She’s a saint, I swear. But I digress. My original point was that it’s sad when people aren’t accepted for who they are, innately. Best wishes 💐

I don’t get it. Why would your parents object for you playing a gay man, when your brother is gay? Was he not out back in 2013? It’s too bad others influenced your decision (church) as well, because it sounds like in your heart of hearts you really wanted it. Also, it seems like a gay role would have been amazing opportunity as an actor. whether gay or not.

If people want you to stop wearing "Tommy Hilfiger", because it's what "poor people" wear, they they should sponsor your wardrobe.
