Wentworth Miller
Unfortunately, I'm allergic to all animals and even some people.
Wentworth Miller
I have to laugh internally when I'm asked in interviews what nightspots I like to hit. I just don't have answers... so sometimes I make them up.

Wentworth Miller
As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.
