Ive been out of the closet the whole time since I auditioned 13 years ago.

You would think that they would have tried to put someone else on that was a gay man.

It certainly didnt help that I was openly gay, Adomian says of his audition experience.

I think that Lorne Michaels is afraid of Americas dads.

I am superior to you, Alec.

So I beat him up, I taught him a lesson.

He got a week of bad press and from time to time I kick him again.

But heres the thing, he adds.

It happened to me.

It happened to Anthony.

Its happened to other people I know.

Adomian calls it an industry-wide problem of creators using peoples auditions to create shows without hiring those people.

SNLis probably the worst offender, he says, but its an industry-wide problem and SAG-AFTRA should get involved.
