Echo Kellum Actor

Echo Kellum gained his first major role in 2012 when he was cast in the FOX comedy Ben and Kate playing the role of Tommy, the best friend of the titular character Ben. In 2015, he was cast in the recurring role of Curtis Holt, based on the DC Comics character Mister Terrific, in the fourth season of The CW drama series Arrow. Holt is a technological savant and inventor who initially works at Palmer Technologies under the supervision of Felicity Smoak, and later becomes a member of Team Arrow.

He also went on to portray the character in the Arrow spin-off series Legends of Tomorrow. In April 2016, it was announced that he would be promoted to series regular for the fifth season of Arrow. He exited the series during its seventh season in 2019. In 2017,he appeared in Netflix’s Girlfriend’s Day as Madsen, beat poet and a co-worker of Bob Odenkirk’s character.

Echo Kellum Gay

Echo Kellum’s character in Arrow didn’t stand out for its superhero skills but for the fact that he is gay, a married one at that. His character Curtis Holt/Mister Terrific is loosely based on the DC Comic Universe character, Michael Holt. Unlike in the original comics, is being reffered as  Mr. Terrific for he is an openly gay and happily married to a man named Paul, which is perhaps a gender-swapped version of Michael Holt’s wife named Paula in the original comics. The change in the sexuality of the character was enough to raise eyebrows as well as stir up interest in his own real-life sexuality.

As often the case when actors play a homosexual character in films and TV shows, many viewers began to wonder if he could be gay in real life. In a bid to find answers, viewers have taken to online search engines and consequently, searched phrases regarding his sexuality. For example; “Is he is really gay”, “Is he Married”, and “Does his have a girlfriend” are top among searches relating to the Chicago native. Height line.com conducted a research and discovered that he summoned the courage to play a gay superhero role, he is actually straight in real life.

How did we know? Well, while it is true that the actor hasn’t spoken about his real-life sexuality (he is actually of the opinion that his Arrow character’s sexual orientation is the “Fifth-Most Interesting Thing About Him!” ), a trip to his social media pages, especially Instagram, reveals that he is in a romantic relationship with someone who is a “she” and not a “he”.
