Wilson Cruz made history…

a tribute and a salute

By Revista Miko:XCI Published about a month ago • 1 min read

Wilson Cruz is most known as playing the first gay student named Ricky Vazquez on a show for MTV than it picked up by ABC if I remember this correctly. Anyway the name of the show that he came to fame was the series called “My So Called Life” which had starred Claire Danes in the lead as an angsty teenage highschool girl named Angela and her trials and tribulations. Her other best friend was a grunge 90’s hippie chick named Ray Ann. Between Beverly Hills 90210 and My so Called Life I see My So Called Life as the more real and honest show between the two. I’m not saying that 90210 was not good I am simply saying that My So Called Life had more of a voice whereas 90210 focused on the popular kids My So Called Life gave a voice to the voiceless.
