Ian Alexander credits The OA with helping his family accept his transgender identity
-
"I think being on The OA actually really helped them realize that I can be happy and I can be successful as a trans person and as a queer person," Alexander said while visiting Ellen with Brit Marlling. "Being on set for The OA was the first time I heard my mom use my correct name and pronouns, so that made my heart soar and made me realize they can accept this and other people can accept this and I can be just fully accepted for who I am in this environment."
