Teen Wolf and The Leftovers‘ Charlie Carver has joined the cast of Michael, a biopic about a gay activist who renounces his homosexuality.
According to Deadline, Carver will portray Tyler, who enters a relationship with Michael (Franco) and his partner Bennett (Zachary Quinto). Tyler will be heartbroken when Michael eventually rejects his homosexuality after he finds God and becomes a Christian pastor.
This is not the first gay role Carver has been in. On Teen Wolf, he starred alongside his twin brother as Ethan, who was part of the Alpha Pack in the first half of season 3. Both the Carvers ended up staying on for the second half of the season as well, though they soon became allies rather than enemies to the main characters.
Michael is being produced by Gus van Sant and also stars Emma Roberts, who will portray Michael’s girlfriend once he renounces his homosexuality.
Franco has undergone a bit of a makeover in order to portray Michael Glatze, most notably dying his hair blond. He’s also recently been posting several pictures of his new look to his Instagram account.
Zachary Quinto has also made an appearance in several of his photographs:
There are no images of Franco with Carver yet, but we imagine they’ll be along soon once the two start working together.
