The Queerty Interview brings you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, activism, and beyond.

In this episode, Entertainment Editor Cameron Scheetz sits down with stage and screen favorite Michael Urie, who returns for season three of Apple TV+’s hit comedy Shrinking. Fresh off an incredibly busy year spanning Broadway, Off-Broadway, and television, Urie reflects on moving seamlessly from filming Shrinking to the Tony-winning Once Upon a Mattress opposite Jinkx Monsoon, and then into a bold new queer take on Shakespeare’s Richard II.

Back on screen, Shrinking season three finds Urie’s character Brian and his partner Charlie preparing for parenthood — a storyline Urie says carries deep meaning as representation for a generation of gay men who grew up never imagining a future that included family. Urie opens up about entering his “daddy era,” queer visibility on screen and stage, and why this moment in his career feels especially full-circle.
