Todrick, 37, first rose to fame on season 9 of American Idol, but his music career has taken him far beyond the reality TV stage.

Curtis, 37, is an actor known for Surviving Compton, Insecure and more. But his story on Real Friends may differ from his co-stars. Hamilton has “only recently come out to his family and a close circle of friends,” the release says, which means viewers will see him navigate the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood with new eyes.
