Meet the gay characters of "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist"

Aaron Yoo, Rafi Gavron, and Michael Cera work on their Playlist
There's a film coming our way next month that might be worth keeping an eye on if you're a fan of screwball comedy, New York City, indie bands or gay-inclusive ensemble movies: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (based on the novel of the same name) tells the story of one crazy night out in New York as two music fans fall in love while trying to find a super-secret show by their favorite band.
Michael Cera (Superbad, Juno) and Kat Dennings (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) play the titular couple, but the central straight romance isn't the only one in the mix.
It seems that Nick is the only straight member of an all-gay band, and his two best friends and bandmates are along for the ride. Tom (Aaron Yoo) and Dev (Rafi Gavron) get involved in their own misadventures, and I understand that Dev has his own love story with a guy named Lethario (Jonathan B. Wright).
A little background on the actors invovled...
Aaron Yoo and Shia Something-or-Other in Disturbia
Aaron Yoo might be best known for playing Shia LaBeouf's girl-crazy and rather annoying best friend in Disturbia, and will be appearing in the much-anticipated Friday the 13th remake due out in February.
Rafi Gavron and Juliette Binoche in Breaking and Entering 
Rafi Gavron played Juliette Binoche's adorable thief son Miro in Breaking and Entering and appeared on a few episodes of Rome as Duro. If you're keeping track, that means he's now played characters named Miro, Duro, and Dev. Maybe there's a Devo biopic in the works he can be involved in? Actually, oddly enough, Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo did the score for Nick and Norah. Small world!
Jonathan B. Wright in the dark
Jonathan B. Wright is best known for playing gay Hanschen in Broadway's Spring Awakening, and this is his first feature film role.
Director Peter Sollett proved in Raising Victor Vargas that he can pull great performances from young actors, and I hope he can do the same here. To check out the trailer and more for Nick and Norah, check out the incredibly elaborate official site.
