Despite being on television, he still actively participated in theatre and performed in the productions such as “The Busy World is Hushed” (2006), Howard Ashman’s unproduced musical “Dreamstuff”, and in the stage drama “Reverberation” (2015).

In his music career, Luke was the lead singer as well as the song writer of a band named Fellow Nameless.

Personal life

Luke’s personal life made an interest in the eyes of the paparazzi as he had been rumored as gay. It appeared on the headlines from time to time as they said the he was often noticed being in the company of men, where most of them were also celebrities.

Gay rumors became in the spotlight when Televisionista Blogspot posted in 2007 a headline including him dating the “Prison Break” actor Wentworth Miller. They confirm that they have been secretly dating for over 6 months.

But then, in April 2008, Luke admitted that he is gay, at The Globe and Mail, and he concedes that he is ‘terrified’, he said ‘I don’t know what will happen professionally … that is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen, because it’s my truth.’

Also in an interview in The Juilliard Journal, he was asked if he was concerned about coming out as gay will negatively affect his career, which he then answered, ‘I think anytime as an actor you step out and choose to engage with the media in any sort of way that reveals your personal life, it can be frightening. However, I feel strongly that there is a distinction between revealing my sexual preference and my most private thoughts. My sexual preference is one irrefutable aspect of me, like the color of my skin. I’ve never been interested in revealing intimate details about my life. The concern with engaging with the media has to do with trying to make sure they will understand this difference.’

Luke’s first known boyfriend was Charlie David, who is an actor, writer, director, and producer. He was also seen together with T.R Knight. The most famous relationship he had was with Wentworth, but they went separate ways afterward. Then he was seen with Chad Slivenski, a wrestler cum actor, but the rumor lasted for a short time.
