Terry Sweeney made history during the 1985-86 season as the first openly gay male cast member on SNL. He was an impressionist, best known for his non-traditional take on Nancy Reagan. His portrayal was a highlight of that season’s political satire. Despite his talent, his time on the show was limited to that single season. After SNL, Sweeney worked as a writer and producer, with credits on MADtv and The Simpsons.
