Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Thing About Harry (2020)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Peter Paige did not plan to act in The Thing About Harry as Casey, but was convinced to take the role because 2020 marked 20 years since Queer as Folk premiered, giving him a chance to pay small tribute to his own Emmett Honeycutt in that series.
- Paige deliberately wrote Harry as pansexual instead of gay or bisexual, aiming to reflect how young LGBT people label their sexual identities more diversely than past generations did.
