10 Great Movies Starring The Cast Of Teen Wolf
4. The Boys In The Band (2020) - Charlie Carver
On Teen Wolf, Charlie Carver portrayed werewolf Ethan Steiner, and whilst we're used to seeing Charlie act opposite his brother Max, it's one of Charlie's solo projects that really stands out - The Boys in the Band.
Based on the 1968 play of the same name, The Boys in the Band seeks to highlight the gay experience in the mid-20th century. When a group of male friends gather to celebrate a birthday, the party quickly turns into what feels like a therapy session as tensions, feelings, and resentments soon begin to arise.
Charlie portrays Cowboy - a male prostitute who is hired to appear at the party. Much like the rest of the cast, Charlie reprised his role from the 2018 Broadway revival. There's always a worry when transferring a play to film that the dialogue will appear to be too rehearsed, particularly as the cast are reprising their roles, but that's not the case at all. Each performance is magnetic.
The play itself was revolutionary when it was first staged on Broadway as it celebrated homosexuality which was, at the time, a rather taboo subject. Some have even linked the play's impact to the Stonewall Riots which took place in New York one year later.
