EW.COM - Firefly alum and Playboy Club actor Sean Maher has worked steadily in Hollywood for 14 years, and during that time, he made the choice to be closeted about his personal life as a gay man — until now.

He won't be working on this show long, it's tanking in the ratings opposite "Castle" and "5-0". Knowing NBC they'll pull it soon.

Don't care. He was excellent in his part as the doctor and that is what matters to the Browncoat me.

I do hope he can be happier in his personal life.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


Why're we still talking about this? He's on the crew, that's all anyone needs to know.

in all honesty, my reaction was 'wait, you didn't know?'. I just assumed everyone knew, and it just never came up.

I doubt there were many people surprised by the news, but since Sean had not come out himself it was inappropriate to mention it.

Right on EC!
The 'old timers' have know for many years, BUT we respected his right to his own life. I hope he feels alright with 'coming out' now, but it seems like the 'haters' are starting to rise up again. There have been comments(slurs is the proper word)about gays from folks in Hollyweird lately.
I hope he and anyone who isn't PC according to the Moral Majority are always free to just live.

JMHO, I hope no-one rips my a$$,...its so hard for anyone to find any kind of love on this planet.
I will get off the soap box now.

I am more than delighted that he now feels secure enough in his career and his personal life that he can live in honesty. It must be such a weight on ones shoulders and so demoralizing to have to live with part of yourself hidden.
