I don't recall ever actually watching the 1990s sitcom Caroline In The City, except that I passed by the TV once when it was airing, & caught a short scene that included Malcolm Gets with his shirt off. I was very impressed. In fact, I could not shake the image, & I started to research the actor & his accomplishments (& his pecs). Although Malcolm Gets didn’t come out to the press until the late 1990s, that still earns him an honored place among the small group of actors who have chosen to be up-front about being gay. Best known for his portrayal of Richard Karinsky on the sitcom Caroline in the City, Gets is also a composer, classically trained pianist, vocal director, dancer, choreographer, & teacher. You may have seen him as one of the leads in the gay cult film Adam & Steve and, more recently, in the movie version of Sex & the City. Gets had the colorful role of George Gould Strong in the well received Grey Gardens, starring Jessica Lange & Drew Barrymore, Malcolm has appeared on Broadway in The Moliere Comedies, Hello Again, Merrily We Roll Along, William Finn's A New Brain, & the lovely but short-lived Michel Legrand musical Amour. This season he co-starred withWill Chase in The Story of My Life, a two-character musical about a deep, long-lasting, non-romantic friendship between two men. Gets is tall (6'2''), blond, seems to know his way around the gym, & he turns 45 today.
