Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Tony Award-winning actor Ben Platt will play Will's love interest in Season 9 of Will & Grace, which starts Thursday after an 11-year hiatus.
"I think he's comfortable with himself as an older gay man," Eric McCormack, who plays Will on the show, replied when asked at New York's Tribeca TV Festival about how Platt's guest appearance gives Will the chance to explore dating someone much younger.
