His character in Apple TV's Foundation series was killed off this week. I am very disappointed.
Speaking of Foundation, if you have AppleTV+ and you like sci-fi, I would strongly suggest checking it out. Since my teens I have attempted to read the souce material several times, but never got far enough in that it held my interest. It's very dense; perhaps even moreso than DUNE, and try as I might I just couldn't get into it.
That being said, even Season One of this series had me reaching for the remote on more than one occasion. But I stuck with it, and my patience has paid off in Season Two. I think I finally understand what is going on in Asimov's universe, and as we near the end of this season, I have to admit I am very engaged.
As I said, I never made it more than about 50 pages into the book, but I seriously doubt it was as gay-inclusive as Apple's telling of the story. Glawen Curr (Fetscher, himself an out-and-proud queer actor) and Bel Roise (Ben Daniels) are a married same-sex couple in the series, but they aren't the only one. It was still kind of surprising when it was first revealed—but I know it shouldn't have been. We are talking a story that takes place literally thousands of years in the future.
