"Frasier" star David Hyde Pierce sounded off on the "domino effect" of same-sex marriage in the U.S. as part of a new interview with Larry King.
"It's kind of hypocritical to say, 'Oh, I love you dearly, you're my best friend. Would I let you marry the person you love? Well, sorry, no,'" Pierce, who came out to the media in 2007, told King. "Those conversations used to happen a lot, and they happen less and less now."
He went on to note, "It just seems more important to let people live their lives. It seems, in a way, more American."
Pierce, who can be seen on " The Good Wife," has been married to his husband Brian Hargrove since 2008.
He's slated to direct the new musical " It Shoulda Been You," starring Tyne Daly, Sierra Boggess and David Burtka, on Broadway next spring.
