uChris Beckman
Chris Beckman was bucking for a promotion at a now defunct dot-com in Boston when his friends at his gym persuaded him to audition for MTV's The Real World. Chris ended up as a cast member for the Chicago episodes. Many of that season's episodes explored deeper into Chris's recovery from alcoholism to a burgeoning relationship. Chris has since been the recipient of the Congressman Gerry E. Studs Visibility Award for being a positive role model in the gay community. He is now on the lecture circuit and studying to be an actor. Chris says "I have a responsibility to talk about where my life was and where it is today."
uDanny Roberts
According to Danny Roberts, the only thing worth watching on television today is The Learning Channel. Danny knows about the impact of TV as a former cast member of MTV's Real World New Orleans. Danny describes his presentation style as an "open forum to talk about issues", which is why The Advocate has dubbed him "The Accidental Activist". Danny candidly speaks to young people about his sexuality and coming out, just as he did on the Real World. Although if you ask him, Danny will not say he is a role model, but his likeability and down home charm will appeal to both gay and straight communities and bridge the gap for open and honest discussion.
uAneesa Ferreira
Aneesa Ferreira says "I'm gay, black, and Jewish. What else is there? People say there is an awful lot more for this former cast member of MTV's Real World Chicago. Being a lesbian and the child of an interracial marriage, her father is black and her mother is Jewish, Aneesa presentation stresses finding a place in a world that strives to be different. With brutal honesty and candor she discusses everything from her former roommates to setting goals and aspirations. As evidenced by memorable moments from the Real World, Aneesa has the tough personality to rise above difficult situations and at the same time show a remarkable sensitivity and compassion for people and the world around her.
u Ruthie Alcaide
In Real World Hawaii, Ruthie Alcaide proved to be one of the most interesting characters ever to appear on MTV’s Real World series. Openly bisexual, a native Hawaiian, Ruthie was born one of triplets and raised by a strict Filipino foster family. She joined a group of cast members from the mainland for the show and stirred things up with her carefree, independent, and often controversial lifestyle. Her presentation not only embodies these elements, but also the more serious side of her, having been shipped by the cast to rehab during filming. Ruthie courageously takes head on the issues of sexuality, addiction, and also just plain enjoying life, which explains her ongoing popularity and appeal to audiences around the country.
