	Brian Kinney - (Gale Harold)
		Brian is on the verge of age 30 and fatherhood, having donated his sperm to lesbian friend Lindsay. The decision leaves his bad-boy advertising executive with more on his plate than his sexy image can handle -- or his finances can afford. Plus, he's juggling a trick that's turning out to be more than just a treat.			US Queer As Folk Complete Series 1 boxset Click here to order US Series 1 VHS/DVD Boxset
	Justin Taylor - (Randy Harrison)
	He's young (try 17), blond, a struggling artist and the new kid on the block. A one-night stand with Brian introduces him to the facts of gay life and leaves him obsessively and hopelessly smitten. Harrison is one of two openly gay actors in the cast of "QAF," and a dead ringer for a younger Matt Damon.
	Michael Novotny - (Hal Sparks)
		Michael is nearing 30, too, and isn't exactly out of the closet, despite being a assistant manager at the local Big Q Mart.

Michael's an unlucky cartoon fanatic with a penchant for a certain superhero in a smart pair of tights.
	Emmett (Peter Paige)
	It's "Will & Grace's" Jack McFarland, except really, really gay, if you can believe that. Emmett crashed at Michael's place after a prostitute torched his building. Flash forward two years later, and Emmett is still living with Michael. Temporary is an eternal state of mind for Emmett, a boutique manager. He's the flamboyant one, the flamer, the tease of the party: Some even call him queeny. But to others, this queen reigns with a wit that never flinches and a sense of style unmatched. In other words, Emmett is fierce. Paige is the other openly gay actor in the "QAF" cast
