Every city has its own personality. Some feel welcoming the moment you arrive. Others buzz with excitement, creativity, or charm. And then there are the places that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up for reasons you can’t quite explain.

In 1996, he walked off the set during a lunch break and never returned. Yost later revealed that he had struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts, spent time in conversion therapy after leaving the show, and eventually came to accept his sexual orientation.
