Dell dude: Pot bust ended my ‘vicious downward spiral’

We only just stumbled on this today: an interview with Ben Curtis, aka the Dell dude, published a few weeks ago on Playbill’s Web site. (It’s the second item down on the page.) Curtis has just wrapped a six-week run in a gay-themed off-Broadway play called Joy. In the interview, he reveals that his parents’ marriage fell apart after his father came out, and that he, like his character, has “experimented” with his sexuality. (“I appreciate men just as much as women,” he says, “but I lean toward the female side.”)
