Galitzine's first noteworthy queer role was Angelo on the TV show Legends. Fans were immediately drawn not only to the actor's good looks, but also to his great acting as an up-and-coming star creating a name for himself.

Treasure Entertainment
Even though 2016's Handsome Devil was a smaller film with a more niche audience, this was definitely when Galitzine started getting a lot of attention from queer audiences. The film was available for streaming for a very long time, giving people plenty of chances to check it out and get familiar with the actor.
The Craft: Legacy (2020)

Blumhouse Productions
It took four years since Handsome Devil, but Galitzine did land a splashy queer role in The Craft: Legacy in 2020. At this point, it became evident that he was an actor who could actually do great work in his performances as queer characters.
Bottoms (2023)

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures
Bottoms was a hilarious and campy film about not-so-popular queer girls trying to navigate their high school experience. Featuring lead actors like Rachel Sennott (as PJ) and Ayo Edebiri (as Josie), the comedy also included Galitzine playing one of our favorite himbos of all time, Jeff!
Red, White & Royal Blue (2023)

The international implications of the love story between Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz (played by Taylor Zakhar Perez) was a huge hit with viewers — and Red, White & Royal Blue solidified Galitzine's career even further with queer fans and general audiences.
Mary & George (2024)

Starz
Galitzine gave us EVERYTHING as the mysterious, enticing, and mischievous George Villiers in the limited series Mary & George. This queer character was a very dangerous villain who had a few terrible ulterior motives to seduce King James (played by Tony Curran). But we loved to watch it!

Deadline reported that Galitzine has boarded yet another project featuring a central storyline between two queer women in love. While it's still unclear if his character, Manfred, will also be queer, this is definitely another LGBTQ+ project that the actor will be featured in.
