The actor who played Luke Danes discussed an episode in which two characters repeatedly bring up his butt: 'I didn't feel comfortable doing it, and it pissed me off.'
“I realized it wasn’t OK, and it didn’t make me feel comfortable at all. It made me feel really embarrassed, actually,” Patterson said about feeling that his body was objectified in the episode. “It is infuriating to be treated that way — it is infuriating — because you’re being treated like an object. It’s disturbing, and it’s disgusting, and I had to endure that through that entire scene and many takes. It was all about the butt, the butt, the butt, the butt.
“It’s as disgusting for women to objectify men as it is for men to objectify women, and it’s as harmful,” he continued. “Just because it was 2003 doesn’t mean it was OK. It’s never OK, and I didn’t feel comfortable doing it, and it pissed me off. And I never said anything, so I was angry at myself for never saying anything. But I had this job, and I didn’t want to make waves and all that.”
Patterson recalled feeling “incredibly small” during the scene and also said he felt like “some kind of meat stick.” While he clarified that his role on the show “was a great job and means the world to me,” the scene caused him to question why he was doing the series at the time. He added about the show’s jokey exchange, “Somebody had to pay the price for that, and I’m still paying the price.”
