Eye color – blue – wrong, green – right :/
He’s actually 6’5″
Lee is an amazing man ,love he.
Lee is a fabulous actor and a beautiful person. I really admire him and I think he is one of the greatest actors there is. His work is always specific and perfect for the roles that he plays. He is just wonderful. I have great love and respect for him as a human being and as an actor. He is just so professional with great integrity.
Can’t be at least be bi? God, his height is perfect. I’m a girl but I’ll be a man if he needs me to be.

Calm down, he likes girls. All his so-called “boyfriend” dating are rumors spread especially on DataLounge which is a gay gossip site. After starring in “Soldier’s Girl”, Lee really drew their attention (who can blame them :D) and they have never stopped spreading rumors ever since. It is true that Lee has played several gay-bisexual-transsexual-androgynous characters onscreen and onstage and that he has some close friends who are gay (some are people he worked with or former school mates). However, Lee has never made reference in any interview or internet post to a personal involvement in a gay relationship (not even a hint). He has said, though, that he had girlfriends when he was in high-school, that his first kiss was with a girl, that his first star-crush was a girl, that “he is single and romantic. He looks for a good-hearted, easy-going woman” – see Jerry Donato’s article http://www.philstar.com/entertainment/76393/david-amidst-goliaths-emmys .
Moreover, look at his interaction with some ladies like Celia Pacquola and Andrea Riseborough – do a google search, and you’ll see what I mean. In other words, put the guy next to a nice brunette lady with feminine features and big expressive eyes and you’ll see who’s gay and who’s not :D. He may still be bisexual, but he is not gay.
This comment aged like milk, funny tho
His eye color is green not blue
