"30 Rock actor Cheyenne Jackson has claimed to be &amp;quot;disgusted and appalled&amp;quot; by co-star Tracy Morgan&amp;#039;s recent homophobic outbursts.  The openly gay 35-year-old, who plays Danny Baker in the NBC sitcom, denounced the offensive comments made by Morgan at a stand-up gig in Tennessee on Friday.  The comedian later apologised for the misjudged material, insisting: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not a hateful person and don&amp;#039;t condone any kind of violence against others.&amp;quot; In the wake of the scandal, Jackson released a statement to Out saying: &amp;quot;I am disgusted and appalled by Tracy Morgan&amp;#039;s homophobic rant. The devastating repercussions of hate-filled language manifest in very real ways for today&amp;#039;s LGBTQ youth.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve known Tracy for two years, spent many long hours with him on set, and I want to believe that this behaviour is not at the core of who he is. I&amp;#039;m incredibly disappointed by his actions, and hope that his apology is sincere.&amp;quot; 30 Rock creator Tina Fey previously described Morgan&amp;#039;s anti-gay comments as &amp;quot;disturbing&amp;quot;, while NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt warned that his behaviour &amp;quot;will not be tolerated&amp;quot;. Morgan initially received the backing of comedian Chris Rock, but the Grown Ups star has since accepted that the 42-year-old said &amp;quot;s**t [that] wasn&amp;#039;t called for&amp;quot;.
