co-creator Ryan Murphy appeared for a conversation in support of his Emmy-nominated series, explaining that in the initial stages of putting together the FX drama, one thought kept coming to mind: “There’s got to be something for Billy Porter in this show.”
Called in for the part of the dance teacher, Porter said to casting director Alexa L. Fogel, “There has to be something else for me, right? Because I lived through this era. It would benefit everybody if I was actually in the story that they’re talking about.”panel, his personal relationship to the story being told inParis Is Burning
In early conversations about the series, Porter shared his experience of the AIDS crisis, as someone who had lived through it, discussing his personal experience of survivor’s guilt. “Survivor’s guilt is a real thing. ‘Why am I still here? What is the point? What is my purpose?’” he said. “I didn’t know how, but I always knew that my art was going to be my way into a deeper kind of healing.”
In conversation with Murphy, Porter explained the difficulty he had in thinking of himself as a Hollywood leading man, after the homophobia and lack of opportunity he had experienced over the years. For a long time, the prospect of being a leading man on screen seemed to Porter like it would come with too high of a cost, requiring him to sacrifice everything of himself.
