12. Ryan Phillippe Broke the Mold by Playing a Gay Teen

When Ryan Phillippe was only 17 years old, he landed the role of playing the first gay teenager featured on a daytime soap opera. When he first auditioned for the role on One Life to Live he didn’t realize the character was gay, and when he was told he saw it as an opportunity to embrace. He has been quoted saying that his character’s coming out scene was the first time he didn’t have to force tears on set.
