TJ sweated through the spotlight as the first openly gay offspring of a standing U.S. president, and now is struggling to keep a drug problem at bay — all while twin brother Douglas (played by James Wolk) appears to lead a perfect life.

And as damaged or defected as TJ is, he’s very open about that.
