“The Punisher” THOMAS JANE admitts he performed gay sexual favors for a sandwich from time to time as a young, penniless actor-wannabe in Los Angeles.

Jane says he’d been down and out in Tinseltown, looking for acting jobs…any acting jobs

“Hey, you grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you’re going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don’t accept people’s sexual flavors. You know, when I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn’t have any money and I was living in my car. I was 18. I wasn’t averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?”

Can you imagine Thomas Jane at 18 soliciting in Santa Monica Boulevard? We’ve got to see it to believe…

Still, doesn’t he play a high school teacher in “Hung” who branches out into prostitution to deal with the crumbling Detroit economy? This must be a role close to Thomas Jane‘s heart…to always remind him of his roots, lest his head gets all blown out of proportion.

And did his period as a starving actor teach him anything other than performing sexual acts on other men?

“I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way.”

Well said, Thomas Jane, well said.
