According to a listing on the Internet Movie Database, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy‘s “culture expert” Jai Rodriguez will be playing Carlos Guerrero in The CW’s H.M.S. pilot presentation.
An official announcement in trade magazines or from the network has not yet been made; however, Rodriguez did post this on his Twitter page last week which should be confirmation enough:
“Thanks guys booked a pilot as a series regualr on the CW. It good thoughts worked.”
The casting notices for Carlos described him as “Latino” and “obviously gay,” which means that The CW could possibly have a gay male as a main character on one of its shows.
H.M.S. is about a group of young medical students at Harvard Medical School, and is a contender for the network’s Fall 2010 line-up. Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere is a co-executive producer.
