“What We Do In the Shadows” star Harvey Guillén’s latest project is based on the true story of someone he knew in college who came out as a gay man, only for his identity suppressed by his own family after he died.
During his college years, Guillén walked in on his roommate and one of his classmates being intimate. Guillén encouraged his classmate to come out to his family, even though the roommate begged him not to. The classmate came out, but a week later, he was mysteriously found dead. At his funeral, his parents were so embarrassed, they never acknowledged at his funeral that their son was gay, and claimed he died of a heart attack.
“I was like, that wasn’t your son. Your son wasn’t those things. You don’t even know your son,” Guillen said on a panel on Sunday night at the Latinx House at Sundance.
