Frasier’s David Hyde Pierce is out of the closet somewhat. Normally quiet about his personal life, in an AP article on CNN.com, his “partner” Brian Hargrove is referred to, but buried a few paragraphs down.
He worked at Playwrights Horizons, the Public Theater, Shakespeare in the Park and a lot of regional theaters such as the Guthrie in Minneapolis, Chicago’s Goodman and Long Wharf in New Haven, Conn. Pierce got to Los Angeles in the early 1990s when his partner, actor-writer-producer Brian Hargrove, wanted to write for television.”
AfterElton.com contacted Pierce’s representation, who confirmed that Hargrove is Pierce’s life partner. AfterElton is also wondering if that Out magazine article we told you about had anything to do with forcing Pierce out. I attribute it to one simple thing: the Broadway crowd. Hanging around with those Spamalot people is enough to make anyone feel comfortable being gay. Pierce is now appearing in Curtains, for which he’s nominated for a Tony.
