Grammy, Emmy and Tony Winner Billy Porter Will Do More Than 'Pose' at His Dallas Show

Billy Porter, of Met Gala and insane accolades fame, opens up about Pose, getting cast only in 'flamboyant' roles, and how his new album is like Beyoncé's.

Earning accolades, breaking glass ceilings and wearing particularly fabulous ‘fits are all in a day’s work for Billy Porter. The actor, singer and Broadway star is so effervescently talented that it might be surprising to learn his journey to the top was far from easy.

Porter began singing in a Pentecostal church at the age of 5. Growing up in Pittsburgh, he endured a traumatic and challenging upbringing, a story he tells at length in his 2021 autobiography. Fortunately, music always provided a haven and salvation. Porter was lucky to discover a live broadcast of the Tony Awards at age 11, which set him on the path of musical theater.

For the actor, portraying Pray meant much more than a little gold statue. In the show's third season, a pivotal episode draws heavily from his upbringing, and the character's status as an HIV-positive advocate also aligns with his background.
