Talking about Keller’s sexuality, he said, “I had a talk with Roberto, our show runner, about this. What’s really cool about Kevin is that it’s clear he is gay and it’s not hidden. It’s recognized but it’s not who he is. He’s an incredibly dense character and I think it’s really important that it’s just a part of him. It’s just not him. That’s what makes playing Kevin such a joy.”
