Watch: Netflix's 'Fool Me Once' Star Dino Fetscher Opens Up About LGBTQ+ Representation

Actor Dino Fetscher doesn't just have a hit show on his hands in Netflix's "Fool Me Once," he has a show that has intentionally worked to give LGBTQ+ characters a safe space to just be.

In an interview with the BBC, Fetcher, LGBTQ+ representation was "important" for the showrunners, and he enjoys playing Marty McGreggor, a detective and character "who just happens to be a gay person."

"So much of the focus has been on things like coming out, all those kinds of struggles which are important," he said. "But it's nice to see someone happy, a beautiful soul, good at their job, a really great person who just happens to be a gay person or a queer person. I think it's really important for representation and visibility."

Fetscher also stars alongside Michelle Keegan and Dame Joanna Lumley, and the show's success has reportedly been "wild" for the actors involved.

"You put your heart into these projects and you give so much, you hope people are going to enjoy it," said Fetscher. "The extent of the success has been mad. We were on Times Square. We've been all over bus stops in London. It's been amazing."

In the show, as Fetscher's character grows in confidence, he comes out to a colleague. Fetscher said he did "a lot of research" for the moment.

"I did a lot of research around what it is to be queer in the police," he explained, adding that he wanted to "honor" the experience as best he could.
