Hal Sparks visits Pittsburgh

Actor-comedian Hal Sparks said he always vowed to visit Pittsburgh before the end of his Pittsburgh-set Showtime drama, "Queer as Folk." He made it just under the wire, playing here at a benefit with his band on the night the series finale aired in 2005

Sharon Gless ("Debbie"), Robert Gant ("Ben") and Michelle Clunie ("Mel") will also be in town for a Pub Crawl.

Sparks is relieved to take a break from serious drama, but he's keeping busy. He'll appear next in VH1's "Celebracadabra!" (celebrities compete to become trained magicians) at 9 p.m. on April 27 and VH1's "I Love the Millennium" in June. His metal band, Zero 1, is touring and he voices a cartoon character for Nickelodeon ("Tak and the Power of Juju").

The former Queer As Folk cast members are bar hopping in an effort to get out the gay vote.



The event is organized by the "Hillary Clinton for President" campaign as a way to encourage gay voters to hit the polls when Pennsylvania weighs in on the Presidential election April 22nd.
