Back story from www.insidesocal.com – here! TV has announced a new series called: “Everything You Wanted To Know About Gay Porn Stars … but were afraid to ask.”

The series, directed by John Roecker, will make its debut on the network in the winter and will consist of six 30-minute episodes and a one-hour special. It takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of some of gay adult cinema’s current and former stars including Johnny Hazzard, Brad Benton, Nick Capra, Jason Hawke, Nick Piston and Jason Ridge (pictured above).

Says Roecker: “I interviewed sixteen men that perform in gay porn and asked them what makes them tick. This is their forum and their voice. When I spoke to these men, I wanted to know what their parents thought, how they got into the industry and what their ultimate goals were. I found them incredibly bright, sensitive and inspiring.”

Topics covered in the series include the impact of drugs on the industry, the dangers behind unprotected sex, depression, and the stigmas and drawbacks when starring in the gay porn industry. The series also promises to show us the lighter sides of these guys.
