From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Moretti is an American actor, born in Cranston, Rhode Island. He stars
in the here! original series
The Lair as Thom,
a reporter who uncovers a vampire cult.
Moretti graduated from the University of Southern
California in 2002 with a degree in English. Following his
graduation, one of his Delta
Chi fraternity brothers spotted
Moretti's online profile on a gay
dating site and outed him to
the rest of the fraternity.[1]
After landing a few small film roles in the mid-2000s Moretti
was offered the role of Thom in The Lair in 2007. In
deciding to accept the role and play an openly gay character,
Moretti also made the decision to come out in his professional life. "You see
all these closeted actors who feel this mental anguish and internal
struggle, and you just really feel for them. Which is why I'm
coming out right in the beginning, because I don't want to be
outed. I don't want to have to sacrifice my social life. I want my
boyfriend with me on the red carpet. And if I'm going to miss out
on a couple of big blockbuster movie roles, then so be it."[2] The
first season of The Lair aired in 2007, and season two
debuted in September 2008.[3]
Since starring on The Lair Moretti guest-starred as his
Lair character on the here! series Dante's Cove
and has completed a role in the film A Date with Murder,
scheduled for release in 2008.[4]
