We’ve certainly already had high hopes for Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black’s newest LGBT historical TV show When We Rise, and now that Australian hunk Guy Pearce has signed on the project, we know these two won’t disappoint. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert solidified Pearce as a a household name and a gay icon, but he won’t be donning heels this go around, he’ll portray Cleve Jones, the important friend of Harvey Milk. Variety reports that Mary-Louise Parker, Rachel Griffiths, and Austin McKenzie are also lending their talents to the ABC project that looks back at the gay rights movement.
ABC will air the seven-episode series hopefully this fall.
