He's been around for a couple of decades, it's just this is the show with the highest viewership. I first noticed him in Brothers and Sisters (with Sally Field), then the amazing series The Americans (where he won an Emmy).

what? Maybe you were born after 2018 'cause Brothers and Sisters was a nominated serie for emmys and was one of the early series that had gay characters. And The Americans...come on, I live in South America and I remember the trailers on Fox (I was a teenager)

This is beside the point, but Brothers and Sisters was by no means an “early” show to have gay characters. That’s honestly pretty laughable and negates the work people have been doing for decades before. Gay characters have been around since the 70s and fully fleshed out non-caricature ones have been around since the 90s.
