On The Politician, James Sullivan's dating life is complicated, but the relationship status of the actor who plays James is far less confusing. Nonbinary trans actor Theo Germaine - who, in addition to playing James in The Politician also stars as Chris on Showtime's Work in Progress and Jack Starr in HBO Max docuseries Equal - is currently dating William Rusan, who they've been with since at least December 2017, which is when William posted the first couple-y pic of them together on Instagram. Theo may have relocated to LA after their acting career took off, but they seemingly manage to spend plenty of quality time with William when they're back home in Chicago.
