We are all about MJW. From his attention-getting turn on Showtime’s hit United States of Tara as Marshall’s friend-turned-boyfriend Lionel to his star-making performance as the titular gay best friend to three high school queen bees in G.B.F., this kid has what it takes. Here’s a glimpse of his best moments so far.

The torch must be passed, as they say, and in a scene very similar to the one in G.B.F., MJW’s character Shane outs the two leads in Faking It as a lesbian couple.

Lionel’s Last Moments on UST
