Oskar Viniar: Russian boy with two gay-positive and a homophobic project, a queer tease, a lot of "girl!" songs, and some dicks

 


Next guy in my "profiles to do" file whom I've never heard of: Oskar Vinier.  According to his Instagram, "You're here for fun! Acting! Music!"  Actually, I'm here to see if you've played any gay characters, or are gay in real life.

Oskar Vinier lives in Miami, but he's got a definite European vibe.  









Like sitting "too close" to a buddy.  In the U.S., this would be an invasion of body space, unless they are boyfriends.  But this is at a theatrical competition in Orlando, and Oskar sits this close to several other dudes.

Maybe he just likes dudes.



Like his mom or sister wearing a frilly dominatrix outfit at the kitchen table while they play a Gummi Bear game.  A very sex-positive family.  

According to his official website, Oskar moved to Miami from Russia in 2019.














He has ten acting roles listed on his resume:

Taylor in Pimp My Life (2020), by Benjamin Renassia. Google only finds three references to this movie, in the resumes of Oskar, communications student Oren Salman, and John Cain

A boy in The Joke (2020), an experimental short film by visual artist Alain Gr-Polanco, who uses they/them pronouns and presents as female.

Son in the documentary Dear White Parents (2020), encouraging them to have discussions about racism with their kids.

Son in the experimental horror short Let's Play (2021), about two robbers who pick the wrong house.


Then there's a gap, probably due to his singing career, but he played a background student in four 2025 projects:

Caspian Diament: With a name like Caspian, can we expect Narnia? Or at least some gay roles? With nude Dylan and Danish dicks

 


I wanted to profile Caspian Diament (not Diamant)  because of his unusual, rather scary eyes, and his odd name -- was he named after the Caspian Sea, which would make him Russian, or maybe Persian? 

No, he's American, born in Los Angeles, son of Debra Diament, former lead singer for The Januaries.  She is of Danish ancestry.

Ok, then, Prince Caspian in the Chronicles of Narnia?  






Caspian was born in 2006, and began acting in 2012, with roles in Faerie Tales and Dragons, Toy Shop, and Peter Pan, a lot of print ads (for "straight" jeans, har har), and some tv commercials.  

 He begins his on-screen career in 2013, playing  a variety of kids.  According to the demo reels on his resume:

Scared of a monster in the closet

An obnoxious gamer kid

Responding to a friend who has killed someone.

A supportive friend offering comfort

A touching father-son moment

Angrily confronting his parents

And a confident young prince in a school play.


He doesn't mention which of his 13 IMDB credits correspond to each performance, but I surmise that the Confident Young Prince  is from an episode This is Us (2016-22), about the problems of three adult siblings.  Tess, the daughter of Randall (Sterling J. Brown, left), is cast as Snow White in the school play.  She is black.  The white parents laugh, leading to a discussion of racism. 






Later the teenage Tess comes out as gay, and starts dating the nonbinary Alex.

A lesbian co-star?  Caspian is gay-adjacent, anyway.





As far as I can tell, Caspian's movie and tv characters have all been heterosexual or heterosexual-by-default.  Plus I found an annoying heterosexist reference: "Chicks dig me."  His Mom responds "That's what I've been saying since you were born."  When he was born, how did you even know that he liked chicks, lady?






But there are also gay references. In 2018, Caspian posts a video of his hip-hop class, with the taglines "Cute Boy.  Gay.  Artist."
