Trev Broudy

Born in 1968, Broudy, who is openly gay, is a model. However, he is better known for a horrible incident that occurred in 2002. While leaving a gay club, Broudy embraced a friend, and a group of three guys came and beat Broudy and his friend. Broudy was left in a coma for ten days and when he awoke had had a steel plate placed in his skull and was legally blind as a result of the attack. A candelight vigil was held in West Hollywood in his honor and the case drew parallels for many to the Matthew Shepard case. The three assailants received prison sentences, the least being seven years, the most twenty one. Since then Broudy has been starting a career as a voice actor, and remains active in the entertainment industry.
