[edit] Obiora on Ben

"Playing a gay character really brought out my feminine side and my girlfriend really liked it. She said I smiled a lot more and used my hands more to gesticulate. She really liked my camp side. She also thinks I take more time over my appearance now which I wasn't aware of."- Michel Obiora on Ben Trueman from BBC.com.
