Who is Doug Brochu, and Why am I Following Him on Twitter?

I just found out that I follow Doug Brochu on Twitter.  He tweets so rarely that I don't remember why I followed him, or for that matter who he is.

He's an actor, born in September 1990 in North Carolina, and he seems to have been a Disney kid, with roles on Sonny with a Chance, ICarly, Pair of Kings, and So Random.

My review of Sonny with a Chance mentions him.










I must have seen him on the Disney Channel and thought he was gay. 

Not a lot of gay content on his twitter, facebook, or instagram, though, nor are there a lot of gay roles in his recent work. 

He played "Handsome Lover" in the short film Winesburg: Death, an adaption of a Sherwood Anderson story,but it was a heterosexual lover.









He's friends with the gay-friendly former Disney kids Sprouse Brothers, but also with the non-gay-friendly former Disney kid Nathan Kress.




I probably should be following his older brother, Chris Brochu, instead.

1. More shirtless photos.

2. He's friends with Scott Eastwood.









3. He played a gay character in The Vampire Diaries.

4  In 2018 he'll star in Tell Me a Story, a tv series with fairy tales reimagined into a "dark and twisted psychological thriller."  One of his costars will be former Disney boy Austin Butler.
