‘Boots’ Star Miles Heizer on Netflix’s Gay Military Series, Wanting a Season 2 and the ‘Nightmare’ of Coming Out to His ‘Super Conservative, Religious Family’
Miles Heizer is still trying to wrap his head around the fact that he is starring in a Netflix series.
And it’s not just any series. The 31-year-old out gay actor toplines the eight-episode coming-of-age dramedy “Boots” as Cameron Cope, a high school senior who is grappling with being gay when he unexpectedly enlists in the U.S. Marines with his straight best friend (Liam Oh) to escape his chaotic family life.
The show is based on “The Pink Marine,” Greg Cope White’s 2015 memoir about joining the Marines in 1979 when LGBTQ people were barred from serving in the military.
People Are Calling This Netflix’s Best Series in Years—& It’s Only #3 on the Top 10 List?!
One of the side effects of the streaming era? Great shows falling through the cracks. And even when they do get attention, they’re often canceled way too soon (RIP The Waterfront, Kaos and the endless list that still stings). But a new series has just climbed to the #3 spot on Netflix’s coveted Top 10 and viewers are already hoping it escapes that dreaded fate.
Enter Boots, Netflix’s latest one-hour dramedy, inspired by former U.S. Marine Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine. The eight-episode series is a coming-of-age story set in the “tough, unpredictable world of the 1990s US Marine Corps when being gay in the military was still illegal,” as Tudum puts it.
