Rick Cosnett comes out

Here he is shaking his ass.

Who??

R2 Actor, he was on The Flash.

I only know him from the CW's The Flash. He seemed quite gay in the show although he was playing a straight man. However he was super hot and very likeable. I doubt anyone's too shocked about him coming out.

"Wow, I thought he was straight."

I'm always surprised when I hear his accent.

Good for him but really no one is surprised.

About as shocking a revelation as when Clay Aiken came out.

He was the super hot guy on The Flash. I keep hoping they'd bring him back.

There were lot of gay rumors about on datalounge. However I was surprised when for last 2-3 years no one mentioned him in the poling list of

"Who will come out in 2018, 2018,2020?"

Nice. He’s hot and I could bury my face in his ass.

Comes out of where, OP?

I have no idea who this is but the OP could have chosen a nicer pic...

OP’s is actually a video but it won’t play for me.

the nylon tshirt in r12 wasn't a giveaway?

I don't watch the flash but good for him.

R13 Weird, it works for me.

He looks radically different in terms of attractiveness in different pix, like the Seinfeld joke.

It's not easy to be openly gay. Congratulations to this brave man. I wish him well.

All these young leading men-type actors score a nice little hit show, come out as gay, and are never heard from again, basically.

You’re crazy, r19!

Nice

Any dick pics?

Gobsmacked! Absolutely gobsmacked...

He was a year above me at high school. As far as I know he was out already, everyone knew. He was your typical drama fag, but very talented. He had the nicest little butt. His locker was near the library I used to watch his ass. Our sports uniform had the most indecently short and tight brown see threw nylon shorts and his ass looked hot in them. I used to beat off thinking about that ass in those shorts. His hair was long mopish blonde and he was a bit girly. Everyone knew he was gay. He was out, then he went back in for his career,

R 24, You are from Zimbabwe ?

r25 Despite what Rick will tell you, he finished his schooling in Australia at a place called Concordia College in Toowoomba, Queensland. It may have been just his final year, but he was there. So was his sister. We had the same drama teacher, Miss Hooper

R24, your language is vile and disrespectful. Watch yourself

r27 I beg your pardon?

Just ignore him, R24 / R28. He's just our resident proselytizer who doesn't like dick/ass talk. Makes Jesus upset.

R24 You deserve to be made fun of solely for the fact that you didn't fuck him. He was gay, hot, seemingly available and you didn't even TRY to tap that? For shame.

r30 Lol, I would never had had the nerve. But that ass in those little shorts grrrr

I rhink r27 was referring to "drama fag."

Think ^

sorry, i meant no offence, I was a fellow drama fag myself

Why would he hide finishing his final year of high school in Australia? Makes no sense.

unless r27 is Rick himself

Meh. The f-bomb is an accepted slur around these parts these days. You can say it and not even get your post crossed out (and even get several W&Ws).

TOOWOOMBA actor Rick Cosnett has headed off for the bright lights of Hollywood chasing the big time. After finding success in Sydney theatre, several national theatre tours and a string of successful Aussie TV series (including East West 101) and films (including Mark Lee’s The Bet), Mr Cosnett, 27, has travelled to the City of Angels. He scored himself a spot under the tutelage of one of LA’s top acting teachers Bernard Hiller (who started Cameron Diaz and Chase Crawford’s careers). More Stories Marilyn Monroe confessed to affair with 'drug addict' JFK

Show More He has already featured in a showcase at West Hollywood’s Marilyn Munroe Theatre in front of major producers and directors. “It was a lot of pressure, but the response was incredible and I’m just really happy it all went so well,” Mr Cosnett said. Cosnett is now signed to one of the top managers in LA — Martin Berneman from Precision Entertainment — who also represents many of the stars of film and television. “He is on the brink of a massive career in Hollywood,” Mr Berneman said. “Rick is, without a doubt, America’s next big thing.” Mr Cosnett is up for the lead role in Blue Crush II, making it to the final two, with a final cast announcement expected within the next few weeks. He got a personal call from director Mike Elliot last week after sending in an audition tape from Australia, having returned to Toowoomba for his sister’s wedding. “It is really exciting to be considered for such big projects. You really have to be on form 110 per cent of the time,” Mr Cosnett said. “There’s really no room for messing around when there is so much at stake.” He is really proud of his roots in Toowoomba. His parents live in Highfields and he attended Concordia College. He was actively involved in the local acting scene, taking part in productions at the Toowoomba Repertory Theatre and the Empire Theatre. “It’s amazing to have such a strong base to come home to,” he said.

Seriously, WHO???

Seriously, you've been told who he is multiple times. If you don't give a fuck who he is then move the fuck on.

He denies he ever went to school in Australia because he is a snob and a wanker. But you didn't hear it from me.

Only two congratulations from his CW co-stars? I thought they were a tight group.

The fword is not an acceptable slur

Is Zimbabwe considered cooler than Australia?

Other Australian gays here said Rick was a stuck-up bitch.

Another poster lied and said he was a good friend of Rick’s and that, while Rick was extremely gay friendly, he was completely straight.

That same poster lies about every closeted male celebrity.

Apparently he is some kind of cousin to Hugh Grant so there's this assumed pseudo aristocracy thing going on. The African white farmers always thought they were better than everyone else too.

Does he look like anyone else famous?

He was wasted on the Flash. They kept all the less attractive co-stars and killed him off in the first season.

[quote] The fword is not an acceptable slur

Is there such a thing as an “acceptable slur”?

Your post is an oxymoron.

Aggszeptable slurrrrr!!!!

Liza, I normally don’t like you or find you funny, but I actually laughed loudly at that.

Which co-stars, R42? Was Grant one of them?

Iris and Killer Frost

Thanks, R53.

I'll go on record here as probably the only person who's surprised by this -- I'd never heard of him before he appeared on "The Flash" (and to this day I don't think I've ever seen him in anything else), so knew absolutely nothing about him other than what people were posting about him here on DL. So the fact he's gay and came out, I would say yeah, I'm surprised, at least as much as you can be by such a thing nowadays.

Iris West is Candice Patton and Killer Frost/Caitlin Snow is Danielle Panabaker.

R54 I remember there was gossip about him on DL in the "who's coming out" threads. You must have missed it.

I couldn't understand why they cast Grant Gustin as the Flash. I thought Rick Cosnett was much more charismatic.

R57 Grant had the skinny geek factor while Rick had the classic hero looks. Of course, having them team up together would have made a hot show. But instead we got an annoying geek squad for Flash instead.

Always nice when people come out as gay and not something stupid like 'fluid' or 'queer'

I’m glad he came out and that he’s not fugly. It’s refreshing.

If anyone else was unable to view his coming-out video linked at OP, here it is again:

Surprise announcement? I read that at first as surprise anal!

I think he’s tremendous!

HEW???

he has major gay face

He also was on Quantico, playing a gay character in love with a straight guy pretending to be gay, and in a season of The Vampire Diaries.

Girl you weren’t fooling anyone!

Gurl, we been knew.

Now, are you still going out with @samzeal or did he get sick of your public semi-closetedness?

He’s a bottom isn’t he?

R68 - we'll need video evidence just to be sure.

He's got a sexy voice.

R68 Have you seen his boyfriend? I think that says it all, lol.

He and Sam broke up

Ricks first and only love is Rick

He should have come out on a day he didn't have an infected eyelid.

Ya that chalazion looked nasty.

[quote]Seriously, you've been told who he is multiple times. If you don't give a fuck who he is then move the fuck on.

No, SERIOUSLY. WHO the FUCK is he?

r76 Some blond effeminate African diva who thinks he's an actor but can't act straight convincingly enough. His pseudo career has flopped so he's come out in the hopes of reviving it. Perhaps Ryan Murphy might pick him up for a role but that's all he's gonna get, if he's lucky.

Looks like Grant Gustin finally commented.

.......

What’s his skin color?

R76, SERIOUSLY. WHO the FUCK are you?

Why does it matter, r80? (He's caucasian)

He reminds me of Alan Richston.

I'm willing to bet he would not date a black guy.

Finally, the blackmail payments can stop.

Not Ezra Miller
