Out followed up with the actor/writer this week to gauge his thoughts about porn, fame and the world premiere of I Light Up My Life -- The Mark Sam Celebrity Biography.

Mark Sam Rosenthal: It’s like you’re going to Barnes & Noble to hear a famous person read from their book -- except you’ve never heard of me.

You call it the “world’s first-ever preemptive celebrity autobiography.”
You might as well get it out there. I won’t have time to write it later on down the line.
