BD Wong

BD Wong is a well-loved actor who rose to fame for his role as Song Liling in M. Butterfly. With credit to this role, he became the only actor in Broadway history to receive the Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Theatre World Award, as well as a Clarence Derwent Award. He also appeared in other award-winning TV shows such Mr. Robot, which earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama series. What most people don’t know, however, is that BD Wong openly identifies as a gay man.

He has been in a relationship with talent agent Richie Jackson since 1988.  In 2000, the couple had twin sons—Boaz Dov, who passed away 90 minutes after birth, and Jackson Foo Wong—through a surrogate mother. This isn’t entirely uncommon for same sex couples and many are turning to this method so that they, too, could build their own family.
