Jim J. Bullock

Jim J. Bullock is an American actor and comedian known for Too Close for Comfort (ABC/Syndication, 1980–1987) and Hollywood Squares. He came out as gay in 1985 and disclosed his HIV-positive status in 1991, becoming one of the first entertainment figures to publicly disclose their HIV status during the height of the AIDS epidemic. His willingness to speak openly helped reduce stigma at a time when public figures virtually never acknowledged HIV. He recovered on the then-new antiretroviral treatments and has spoken extensively about his survival, his faith, and his advocacy.
