Anthony Rapp, who plays Lt. Paul Stamets, made the announcement Saturday at the San Diego Comic-Con during a panel discussion on the show, and dropped another bombshell.
Rapp’s onscreen love, he said, will be played by Wilson Cruz, who is best known for his iconic turn as Enrique “Rickie” Vasquez on the short-lived mid-1990s TV classic, “My So-Called Life.”
“Wilson Cruz will be playing my love interest, my partner ? my man love ? and we’re both officers on the ship,” he said during the panel.
He said: “And I’m very proud of that. And he’s a scientist!”
