After dramatic plot development, Claybourne Elder reflects on his time on “The Gilded Age”


I’m not going to share any details except to say that Claybourne Elder, who plays the gay character of John Adams, had made his finale appearance on the HBO Max series which has been renewed for a fourth season.
Clay writes on Instagram:
I love these people so damn much.
And I’ll miss John Adams. Getting to play this quietly complex man who was trying to carve out a space for love and dignity in a world that offered very little of either—was a gift.
As a gay actor, I never take for granted the chance to play queer characters with nuance and humanity, especially in stories set in times that tried so hard to erase us. I loved John. I’ll miss him.
Thank you to the whole team for letting me be a small part of such a big, beautiful world. And to those of you who’ve rooted for John: thank you. He tried his best. He really did.
