Comedic icon Dom DeLuise and New York State Assemblymember Daniel O’Donnell pair up to talk about society’s evolving views of sexuality and its impact on the choices they have made in their respective careers. <br>

Dom DeLuise, who has acted in memorable comedic roles alongside Mel Brooks ("Silent Movie", "Blazing Saddles", Burt Reynolds ("Cannonball Run") and Kermit the Frog ("The Muppet Movie"), took a turn as a flamboyant gay theater director in recent years in the feature “Girl Play”, and talks about the distinction between his acting choices now and in the early years of his career. <br>
