He announced the news at a comedy show, before writing on Twitter.
Comedian and actor DJ Qualls has come out as gay during a Jim Jeffries show in San Diego. Qualls is most famous for roles in Road Trip, as well as Z Nation and The Man in the High Castle.
Writing on Twitter, he wrote: “It is 11:20pm. I just came out on stage at a @jimjefferies show in San Diego.
“Yep, I’m gay. Been gay this whole time. Tired of worrying about what people would think of me. Tired of worrying about what it would do to my career.”
Since coming out, the star has received a lot of support. Director Scott Zabielski wrote: “You’re the best and we all love you.” And fellow actor Sebastian Roché, who has appeared in Supernatural and The Man in the High Castle alongside Qualls, wrote: “Well done my friend, very proud of you!”

It is sad that you had to hide who you are because of your career. But it’s fantastic you got to a place were you don’t feel that you need to hide it anymore <3
Looking forward to seeing you in October in Birmingham. Ps. Need more hugging GIFs with youpic.twitter.com/OjXr0Gbzlf
