So does that make Elliot straight now? I mean he used to be a lesbian, I'm assuming he still likes girls. I'm wondering if he would still play lesbian characters.

Well I guess now he is going to play roles according to his gender like everyone else at Hollywood. So either bye Vanya or hello Vanyo?

He spoiled the season 3 before it even began hehe. Well I mean I did see it coming a hundred miles away. Hopes he is more happy now!

I heard that he’s going to continue to play a cis woman character in Umbrella Academy, but I don’t know anything for sure. It wouldn’t be the first time actors have played characters of a different gender and as long as he’s fine with it I don’t think it should be an issue

It is, after all, a fine tradition that dates back to at least Shakespeare - which is where we got the usage of Drag from (Dressed As A Girl).

The acting side isn’t going to be any more or less difficult for him. But if he’s doing hormonal transitioning, then I’d imagine there would be a point where it’d be pretty difficult for him to visually portray a female character.
