Our genial host has informed that it is now my turn, so here goes.
Although it may end up that way anyway, I don't want this to be over and done with in 52 minutes like Mad King Ludwig was, so let's simply start of by saying he's an actor, and add more clues as (and if) needed later.

He looks as though someone pressed the front of his face flat while (carefully?) avoiding the nose!

That says more for the quality of the photo than anything else, I'm afraid....

OK, hint time!
He's an American actor best known for his work in television, one (possibly two) series in particular, which (I am told) have aired in many places outside the United States. Like Danny Pintauro, he was outed by a major US tabloid; but unlike Danny Pintauro, he at first vigorously sought to deny it.

Still no guesses? That's rather puzzling. Granted, when I first saw that picture, I did a double-take and said, "That's him???" (that happened quite recently, and so it suggested itself as the subject of this quiz). Still, I thought there might be somebody who might guess who it is (even if it's somebody who had also seen that picture and may have had that same reaction).
I was going to post a "less recent" picture; but I think I'll hold off on that for the time being and try out some capsule descriptions of the major television series he was a regular on (at least some of which, again, has been shown in countries other than the United States). In one, he was the "middle" sibling between two sisters whose father had died, and they and their mother moved into his paternal grandfather's home. In another, he lived in the same building as (and was a love interest of) a girl who had been adopted by two single men (not a gay couple) who shared an apartment. In the last, he was the oldest of three orphans (a younger brother and sister this time) who were adopted by a Boston-based physician relocated out west (Colorado, before it was a state, as I recall).
Let's see if that helps.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Bravo!
Here's that "less recent" picture I was going to post.

Chad Allen was on CNN's "The Larry King Show" about a year or so ago as part of a panel discussion on homosexuality and same-sex marriage. As I recall it, he told of how he knew he was gay all through his teen years; but being raised a "good Catholic" caused him to live in total denial, all the while living in fear of being "found out". This eventually led to a substance abuse problem (which he has since nipped in the bud). It was during the period of the last of those TV series I mentioned, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman", that he was outed by that tabloid. The support he received from series star Jane Seymour and his other fellow cast members gradually led to his accepting himself and living openly as a gay man. He was shedding tears of joy when he concluded by telling of how he had met a man a couple of years ago and they have been in a committed and loving relationship ever since. Much to his misfortune, though, was that seated next to him on the panel was this "still-born Christian" Reverend Big-Mouth who mercilessly castigated him (and condemned him to eternal fire and brimstone) for "choosing" to live a life so rife with sin. It was obvious that Chad Allen was seething, summoning every ounce of patience he could muster to maintain his composure. (Meanwhile, on a remote satellite hook-up, was this Congresswoman from somewhere in West Podunk, who was totally hung up on the concept of "First they want laws favoring same-sex marriage; next thing you know, they'll want laws favoring polygamy." Lord liberate us!)
Oh, and in case any of you were wondering what those other two series I mentioned were: the first one was called "Our House" (Chad was in his early adolescence in that one); the other was called "My Two Dads" (he was well in his teens by then). There was one other series he appeared in (which I purposely failed to mention because I thought it might be too much of a "give-away"), and that was the hospital drama "St. Elsewhere" in which he played (most touchingly, I thought) the autistic child of one of the doctors.
Anyway, here's one last (and even more "less recent") picture.
