Award-winning actor Alan Cumming is to be honoured by the US gay community after The Trevor Project described him as an "inspiration" to youngsters.
Cumming, who starred in hits such as Spy Kids, GoldenEye and X-Men, will receive The Trevor Hero Award at the organisation’s eighth annual New York gala at the end of the month.
The award honours an individual who, through his or her example, support, volunteerism or occupation, is an inspiration to gay and questioning youth.
Past recipients of The Trevor Hero Award include Tony Award-winning actor Nathan Lane (2007) and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham (2006).
"Alan has been an important and highly visible example to gay and questioning youth," said Charles Robbins executive director of The Trevor Project.
