THE MOVIE BROS, PREMIERING September 30, is the first gay romantic comedy ever released in theaters by a major film company (Universal Studios), and the first to feature an almost entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast. At the center of this double milestone is Billy Eichner, the actor and comedian known for his acerbic, high-octane game show, Billy on the Street, and roles in Difficult People, the 2019 version of The Lion King, and Impeachment: American Crime Story. Bros marks the first time Eichner has starred in and co-written (with director Nick Stoller) a studio film. Here, the self-proclaimed neurotic talks about carrying the dual weights of representing the LGBTQ+ community to mainstream audiences and cracking the door open further for gay and queer storytellers all while managing the logistical chaos of filmmaking.
