Vincent Rodriguez III

Vincent Rodriguez III is a Filipino‑American actor, singer, and dancer who is openly gay and best known for playing the romantic lead Josh Chan on The CW’s Crazy Ex‑Girlfriend, making him one of the few out gay actors to portray a major straight heartthrob on network television. Rodriguez has spoken often about the significance of being a gay Asian man cast in a role that challenged Hollywood’s stereotypes about masculinity and desirability. Off‑screen, he has been married to his husband Gregory Wright since 2015, and he frequently advocates for LGBTQ+ visibility, Asian‑American representation, and body‑positive casting. His later work includes Insatiable, With Love, and voice roles in animated series, all while maintaining a presence in musical theatre. Rodriguez’s career stands as a milestone for queer Asian performers navigating an industry that has historically marginalized both identities.
