Besides acting, Luke Macfarlane is also a singer and a songwriter. He was the lead singer for the band Fellow Nameless, in his 8th grade at Lester B.

Coming Out As Gay
Luke Macfarlane was rumored to be gay for a very long time until he finally came out as one in an interview with The Globe and Mail in 2008.
He said: I don’t know what will happen professionally … that is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen because it’s my truth.”
He also opened up on how his role as Scotty (who is homosexual as well) in the TV show ‘Brothers and Sisters’ influenced him and gave him the strength to accept who he was as he was essentially projecting himself on Scotty everytime he was acting as him.
When asked about the media handling the truth about his sexual orientation, he said:
“I feel strongly that there is a distinction between revealing my sexual preference and my most private thoughts. My sexual preference is one irrefutable aspect of me, like the color of my skin. I’ve never been interested in revealing intimate details about my life. The concern with engaging with the media has to do with trying to make sure they will understand this difference.”
