The Strength and Honor of Richard Chamberlain

Could it be that coming out of the closet was Richard Chamberlain's shrewdest career move? On the heels of his come-clean memoir, it looks like the Shogun star is more in demand than he's been in decades.

Chamberlain will next be seen in one of 2007's most eagerly anticipated gay titles, the comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James as two hetero firemen who get civil-unionized for the benefits.

He'll follow that up with the Irish boxing drama Strength and Honor, starring Vinnie Jones and Michael Madsen.

After Chamberlain's guest shots on Nip/Tuck and Will & Grace, Romeo would like to see the actor revive his Dr. Kildare character and go toe-to-toe with Hugh Laurie on House.
