 Marcus Lycus
I'm trying to settle a bet with my friend. I believe that Marcus Lycus is gay. In most productions I've seen, the actor playing him made him at least a little bit gay, but my friend doesn't believe me.  Can I get some backup?

 Re: Marcus Lycus
I think it's mannerisms that the actor chooses to add to the role. I'm fairly certain it wasn't written that way, but it's really the actors decision.

 Re: Marcus Lycus
John Carradine and Phil Silvers certainly dont come off gay.

 Re: Marcus Lycus
Depends on whether you mean gay or flamboyant. Pimps can be flamboyant without being gay, and let's face it, Lycus is a "procurer," no matter what you dress him in.
