It was rumored for awhile that since Larson and Roger Bart (Desperate Housewives, The Producers, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown) were best of friends, Larson wanted really badly for Roger Bart to be in the show. According to the rumor, he courted his friend by naming Roger after his friend Roger Bart.

Jonathon Larson died right before the musical debut. Anthony Rapp who played Mark in the original Broadway cast was gay.
Idina Menzel (Maureen) and Taye Diggs (Benny) met while working on Rent and fell in love. They are married.

Despite the fact that several characters are homosexual, the only original cast member who was "out" was Anthony Rapp, who played Mark (a heterosexual character).
