Thea Gill is best known among the LGBT community for her portrayal of Lindsay Peterson, one half of the show’s lesbian couple, on the landmark Showtime series Queer As Folk. Ms. Gill has won a number of LGBT-themed awards, including the National Leadership award from the Gay and Lesbian Task Force and PFLAG. She has also gone on to star in numerous films, TV shows and stage productions since she QAF wrapped.

Thea’s latest project is Lifetime Movie, “The Boy She Met Online.” The movie is about a young girl who meets a guy online, she thinks he is a college student, but GASP he is actually a convicted felon in JAIL. Noooo! All kinds of drama ensues. Trailer below:

You can catch the movie on the Lifetime Movie Network on August 22nd. Personally, I never miss a chance to watch the lovely, talented Thea act. So I will be watching.

Thea is also working on a LGBT themed project, Spitfire. I had the chance to interview Thea about the project and she had this to say:

TG: I’m producing, alongside with my business partner, Gina Glass, the film version of Gina’s novel, SPITFIRE with our company Wonky Girl Productions and Verite Films with Rene Veilleux and Donald Roman Lopez. SPITFIRE’S a love story between a fire fighter and a doctor! Very, very romantic….

Thea also reveals in the interview that if she could have played any other character on QAF, she would have been Brian! I think she would have made a hot Brian. Can’t get enough Thea? Check out her interview in the June issue of GAY e-magazine!
