“Daddy and Papa”: this is how one 9-year-old boy knows Alec Mapa and his husband Jamie Hebert. Mapa is “Daddy,” a title that the flamboyant actor says no other person besides his son can say to him with a straight face. A seasoned veteran of television in shows such as Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, and Heartland, Mapa stars in Baby Daddy, a film that features his one-man show covering various topics such as hosting gay porn awards and becoming a father.
