In the Will & Grace episode “Staten Island Fairy,” Will (Eric McCormack) tries to warn Jack (Sean Hayes) about dating a closeted man. But Jack is happy dating Drew, a married (to a woman) police officer from Staten Island. Or as Will and Grace call him “The Staten Island Fairy.” Jack says the situation is perfect. Drew’s wife thinks Jack is straight and married to Karen (Megan Mullally). Ha!
Drew is portrayed by Ryan Pinkston. The 29-year-old model/actor is known for his roles on House of Lies (Alex Katz-Nelson), Bones (Eli Rounder), Quintuplets (Patton Chase), and Tower Prep, among others.
