In Season 2 of Unprisoned, gay-coded Finn (Faly Rakotohavana) and his family go to group therapy. Mom complains that he spends all day online, not interacting with anyone in real life, so he'll never "fall in love, get married, and have a nice life." I'm not getting into the assumption that you have to be married to have a nice life. The therapist assigns Finn to "make a friend," presumably a friend that he could fall in love with.
He invites Spencer (Aidan Merwarth), to his room but doesn't want to play video games or watch tv or anything. Dude, if you're not going to make out with him, at least give him something to do.
Spencer plays with his phone for awhile, gets bored, calls Finn a "baby" (you wanted a real man?), and leaves. He re-appears at the college fair to taunt Finn again. Well, can you blame him? Dude thought he was going to get at least some smooching, and maybe some beneath-the-belt action.
Finn remains gay-vague, his sexual identity unconfirmed through two seasons.
I wanted to know about this guy who is playing a gay subtext or maybe gay-text teenager.
He was born in July 2002, so as of this writing he's 22 years old. He's from San Antonio, and homeschooled, which means either he's a fundamentalist Christian, or he goes on so many auditions that he has no time for school.
He has 133 friends on Facebook.
He's an acrobatic gymnast. In 2015, at the International Acro Cup in Poland. Aidan and his sister Devon won second place in the mixed pair 11-16 age range
He attended the Los Angeles Film School, graduating with a B.S. in Animation in 2025.
He has eight acting credits on the IMDB.
A Girl Named Jo (2019). on Brat TV, features two girls trying to unravel a mystery at Attaway High School in 1963. Aidan appears in four episodes as Felix, apparently Jo's boyfriend.
Another Brat TV series, Crazy Fast (2019), has a group of outsiders join the track team at Attaway High. Colin McCalla (left) stars. Aidan plays Eamon, a runner "whose past with Rowan threatens everything."
Another straight guy, darn it.
The Forgotten Place is a short about Eric (Jeff Locker), who wants a friend. He finds one (Brian Flaccus), but apparently he means a platonic friendship.
In Saving Paradise (2021), a "ruthless corporate executive" (William Moseley) has to return to his small town when he inherits his father's struggling pencil factory. At Christmastime. He has to save it and win The Girl (named Charlie, just to fool you into thinking there's a gay romance).
So Paradise is a pencil factory? I guess it beats saving the annual Christmas festival. Aidan plays the rutless corporate executive as a teenager, already in love with The Girl.
But a pencil factory? When was the last time you used a pencil? Or saw one?
More after the break
Next on a 2021 episoce of NCIS, Aidan played a juvenile delinquent named Uptown, who, along with his cronies Street (Najee Muhammad) and Clubby (Christian Valderrama, director Wilmer Valderrama's brother), gets the choice of adult prison or a week living in the wilderness. They choose the wilderness, and come across the Petty Officer First Class James Bolton, dying of exhaustion and dehydration. He dies before they can get help.
Then came the short The Weird Boy (2024), two episodes of Unprisoned (2024), and a character at the bottom of the cast list in an episode of Seal Team.
Plus the upcoming Isaac, a sci-fi movie about a "mysterious stranger" at a college who turns out to be an AI. Aidan is at the bottom of the cast list as Paul, probably a student in someone's class.
Sounds like all straight or generic roles except for Unprisoned.
I didn't do a lot of searching for n*de photos, but I found two possibilities right off. This one is not a close match, but I like the abs.
A little better.
Faly Rakotahavana, on the other hand, is undoubtedly gay in real life. I don't care how many "stunning women" a profile from Nigeria mentions. It also says that "He may start chasing any handsome actor comrade in the next few years." The term is boyfriend
Aidan, who knows?
