Actor, “Noah’s Arc”
If his face looks familiar, don’t be surprised; Doug Spearman has played
the role of Chance on “Noah’s Arc,” a popular cable television series about
seven openly gay black males in Los Angeles. AIDS is certainly an issue on
the show and in Spearman’s life.
“I was tested the first time in the late ‘80s and I was very nervous. There
is always that fear about ‘what if.’ Since then, I have been tested every year.
It’s that type of commitment to oneself that can make a difference. I have
lost so many friends to HIV/AIDS; I lost two of them this week. We have to
take care of ourselves. There will be no future without black people,” says
Spearman. – delgie jones II
