Hayes starred in the Broadway production An Act of God , June 6 to September 4, 2016, after engagements in Los Angeles and San Francisco. [18]

Other Television Work

On November 15, 2010, he appeared in a satirical PSA for the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart . [15] In a 2008 interview in The New York Times , Hayes talked about a television project, BiCoastal, about "a guy with a wife and kids in California and a boyfriend in New York" for Showtime. [19] He was the host of An All Star Tribute to James Burrows. [18] Hayes has also guest starred as Buddy Wood on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation . [20]

Producing and Production Company

Aware that his role in Will & Grace "wouldn't go on forever," [21] Hayes teamed up with friend Todd Milliner, whom he met at Illinois State University, [7] to create the television production company Hazy Mills Productions in 2004. [21] [22] [23] [24] Hayes was co-executive producer of the TV Land original comedy series Hot in Cleveland , which premiered in June 2010 and ran for six seasons.

He also received the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Play.

Personal life

Hayes refused to discuss his sexual orientation for many years, saying he believed that audiences would therefore be more open-minded about his characters. [35] Nevertheless, after the success of Will & Grace, he was frustrated to find himself typecast, only receiving offers for gay roles. To avoid questions about his sexuality, he declined interview offers from gay publications during the run of the show. In response to a satirical piece run in The Advocate , which criticized him for being opaque about his sexual orientation, he appeared to imply that he is gay, stating: "Really? You're gonna shoot the gay guy down? I never have had a problem saying who I am. I am who I am." He also indicated that he was in a relationship. He feels he has "contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America, and if anyone wants to argue that, I'm open to it." [10] After he received Outfest's Trailblazer Award in 2016 he addressed this criticism in his speech, saying in part: "Looking back at my choice to stay silent, I am ashamed and embarrassed. What was I thinking? [...] I know I should've come out sooner, and I'm sorry for that, especially when I think about the possibility that I might have made a difference in someone's life." [36]

He received an honorary PhD from Illinois State University in February 2013. [8] In November 2014, Hayes announced that he had married his partner of eight years, Scott Icenogle. [37] In October 2017, while appearing on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show , Hayes revealed that he had been hospitalized with a rare condition in which his small intestine burst. The intestine was repaired. [38]

Hayes has been open about living with atrial fibrillation, a cardiac disorder that causes him to frequently visit the ER[ clarification needed ]. [39]
