Cast of “Queer as Folk” to reunite at Austin event

Short of a reunion movie (there should be one!), a gathering of a cast members of Showtime’s Queer as Folk is the next best thing.

Most of the cast of the 2000-2005 series will gather in June for the ATX Festival in Austin, Texas.

Among those slated to attend are new mom Michelle Clunie who gave birth to her first child yesterday. The baby’s father is director Bryan Singer.

Cast members Gale Harold (Brian Kinney), Peter Paige (Emmitt Honeycutt), Robert Gant (Professor Ben Bruckner), Scott Lowell (Ted Schmidt), and Thea Gill (Lindsay Peterson) are scheduled to attend.

Also on hand will be creators Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman who said in a statement: “Writing and producing a groundbreaking, and often controversial, show like ‘Queer as Folk’ was challenging, but also a rewarding and transformative experience for all of us.”
