Miles Heizer

Miles Heizer is an American actor who is openly gay, having publicly come out in 2020 after years of speculation and fan interest around his sexuality. Heizer rose to prominence as Alex Standall on Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, a role that made him a recognizable face for a generation of young viewers navigating themes of identity, trauma, and resilience. He previously starred in Parenthood as Drew Holt, and his film credits include Love, Simon (2018), where he played Cal, a queer‑coded supporting character in one of the first mainstream Hollywood teen gay rom‑coms. In his role as Cameron Cope in Netflix’s Boots, Heizer portrays a closeted gay Marine recruit during the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” era. His visibility as a young queer actor in high‑profile projects has made him a touchstone for LGBTQ+ representation in contemporary teen and young‑adult media.
