Black-ish (2014-22) starred Anthony Anderson (the one bench pressing) as Dre Johnson, the head of an upper-middle-class Black family. They are black-ish because they have to figure out how to maintain their Black identity while living in a ritzy all-white neighborhood.
Son Andre (Marcus Scribner) announces that he's converting to Judaism so he can have a Bar Mitzvah like his friends.
He starts dating a Republican girl, to the consternation of his liberal parents.
The kids hate Dre's favorite restaurant back in the hood.
They go on their annual Martin Luther King Day ski trip.
There were no gay characters other than Dre's lesbian sister (played by Raven Simone of Raven's Home), who visited once or twice per season, but Junior was queer-coded in spite of his occasional girlfriends. He was an outsider, with quirky tastes, interests, and mannerisms that his family variously ridiculed, ignored, and worried about. Sounds like my parents, with their "Go to work in the factory!" and "Get married and have kids!" rants.
He had gay-subtext buddy-bonds with several guys, notably Zach (Nick Carson, who has a lot of muscular men but no women on his Instagram).
Marcus Scribner continued to play Junior on the spin-off Grown-ish (2019-24), which sends the kids to college. Although he has a "will they or won't they" romance with a girl named Annika, Junior also has a gay-subtext buddy bond with Doug (Diggy Simmons). Oddly, Doug is involved with his own "will they or won't they" romance.
Fans continue to speculate that Marcus is gay in real life, so I checked his non-Black-ish work for gay characters.
Marcus has 27 acting credits listed on the IMDB, including episodes of Castle, New Girl, American Dad, and most recently, rookie cop Jonah Silver, a regular on Boston Blue (2025).
TV Insider says that he "became close friends" with Sean Reagan (Mika Amonson) after they were both injured in a fire, and now he is a regular guest at the Silvers' shabbat dinners. Sean has a female "love interest," so he's straight. Jonah doesn't have any hetero-romances listed in the plot synopses, so maybe he is gay-ish.
Marcus has also done a lot of voice work:
Bell Zettifar in 5 episodes of Young Jedi Adventures: Nothing specified.
D'Angelo Baker in 38 episodes of Dragons: The Nine Realms:Gay according to the fan wiki, but straight according to Reddit.
Bow in 57 episodes of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: a female "love interest," but according to an interview in Queerty, he's "sexually fluid." So gay-ish, but they couldn't say anything.
So, Question #1, any gay roles? Just some subtexts and closets
More after the break. Caution: Explicit.
Question #2: Is Marcus gay in real life?
His Instagram and Facebook pages just show modeling and acting, no girl-hugging or guy-hugging. This photo chilling with a dude is not definitive: they're eating on deck chairs spaced three feet apart.
In the interviews I read, Marcus is evasive, dropping pronouns like a closeted gay guy in the 1970s:"I'm...um...um...not seeing anyone right now."
But he gives interviews to Queerty, and talks about the "outpouring of love" from queer fans. So why would he be 1970s closeted? Surely he would just say "I'm gay" or "I'm bi." 
Marcus bulges so much that you could do a drinking game -- take a drink every time you see it bulging through his pants.
Even when he is wearing a suit.
Update: If you look closely at a random series of photos posted on his instagram in October 2025, you can see a closeup of his hand and a lady's hand wearing engagement rings. So, Sherlock Holmes can deduce that he has a girlfriend.
Why turn your relationship into a puzzle to be solved? Most straight guys shout it from the rooftops: "I'm straight! I kiss girls! I'm so much better than you!"
Maybe he's hinting at something else, but I have no idea what.
But there's no question about his penis:
Even when he is wearing a suit.
Question #3: Any nude photos?
Yep.
A leaked semi. I don't know why it is covered by a face mask -- you can't get COVID from going downtown.
"Coming this fall to ABC: Marcus Scribner in Dick-Ish." Har-har. But I think that's a random model.
"Coming this fall to ABC: Marcus Scribner in Dick-Ish." Har-har. But I think that's a random model.
Another leak.
Is this a life sized model of his own cock, or his favorite sex toy?
