Miles Heizer to Star as Gay Marine in Netflix Dramedy From Norman Lear

Hopefully he will be nude at some point.

Who?

Hard pass. Netflix is over.

Norman Lear is, literally, 100 years old.

Yummy.

Twinkiest Marine ever.

Miles Heizer...as a marine? Well I guess it is a comedy.

If Jim Nabors could be accepted into the corps, then Miles could also.

What is Farmiga doing slumming in this garbage?

I guess it's better than Booking.com commercials, eh, Melissa?

If only Bea Arthur were alive to play the drill sergeant.

[quote] "Norman Lear is, literally, 100 years old."

He's always been a progressive visionary. And what a gift that he can still be doing what he does so well, R4. Even at 100 years of age. I hope to be doing what I love and what I'm good at (which are, thankfully, the same thing).

Anyway, I have no idea who that twink is, but I love Vera Farmiga, and will watch her in pretty much anything (though "The Conjuring" franchise is tiresome after the first film).

*I hope to be doing what I love and what I'm good at (which are, thankfully, the same thing) for as long as I possibly can.

I just hope there are lots of shower scenes.

He's going to have to butch it up---a lot!

Vera is looking rough. She could use a bit of tweaking.

Is he dating anyone?

r16 He just posted a pic of him lounging with a very buff guy on his IG stories.

Norman Lear deserves more credit than people give him. The man is pushing 100 and still producing inclusive and eye opening narratives.

Lots of cute pics of Miles in this article:

[quote]Even at 100 years of age. I hope to be doing what I love and what I'm good at

Personally I hope to be dead and long forgotten by that age.

Miles hanging out with co-stars Max Parker,Kieron Moore and Angus O'Brien.

Who will play his boyfriend?

Max and Angus are not single, so is Miles fucking Kieron? 👀

Connor should star in a movie as the younger version of the UN soldier who wrote a memoir about the Rwandan genocide.

Didn't we already do this in Gomer Pyle USMC?

Am I the only person who always reads his last name with a vulgar Arnold Schwarzenegger accent in my mind?

I'm sure Netflix would allow a tasteful full-frontal of Miles.

R27, fingers crossed....we will at least get some butt shots and a lot of shower scenes

Two marines having fun

Heizer is a German surname, but Miles is of German-English-Scottish-Welsh ancestry, from Kentucky.

Is Kentucky the South or Midwest?

[quote] Heizer is a German surname, but Miles is of German-English-Scottish-Welsh ancestry

I hope that means he's uncut.

Lol, Miles is a standard white American, not some European immigrant. He was almost certainly circumcized as a babe.

[quote]I hope that means he's uncut.

[quote]He was almost certainly circumcised as a babe.

I'm just hoping this gay marine drama will offer us the opportunity to find out.

r33 This is a co-production with Helix, so we probably will!

I can verify that Miles is circumcised and quite large.

There was a lot of speculation about Miles' dick in the Miles & Connor threads. The consensus was that he's got something high caliber. If they don't use a body double, we'll finally know for sure!

Thoughts on the new look?

^^bald marine with dick-sucking lips.

Need to see the dick sucking lips in action

R31, why do you hope he's uncut?

I don't know r22 but based off the description so far maybe something might happen between Miles and Max Parker's characters.

Max Parker ought to look sharp with a high and tight…

The book has no romance at all but I do think they might go down the "forbidden love" route and have a recruit/sergeant storyline with Miles and Max

No. Keep it at No Romance.

r43 = Insider

[quote] I can verify that Miles is circumcised and quite large. —Connor J.

So is Mile the top? Useless being a bottom with huge cock

Well... Miles, Sam Smith and Richard Madden all dated Brandon Flynn... Madden moved on to Froy...

[quote]Useless being a bottom with huge cock

This again? You're a moron.

A bottom with a huge cock can provide a lot of visual appeal as that big ol' thing bounces around while they're riding cowboy.

Flop flop flop

Connor claims to be vers so I think Miles might be too

They would make a hot couple too, all we know from the book is that Kieron's character has a big dick 👀

Did he “audition” it?

It was a very long and hard audition process 💦

The first shot of the first episode of this show better be Miles presenting hole.

[quote] Connor claims to be vers

My imagination can be as vivid as anyone, but I cannot picture Connor topping.

Is it a musical?

r56 I can.

Crouton has seen so much!!!!

R57, a porno

I always assumed Connor was the top. I couldn’t see Miles as anything but a bottom.

He looks like a USMC in a Helix production of An Officer and Bottom.

Next: Timothée Chalamet as Patton.

Top energy

^ LOL

They can't be in production on this show as long as there's a WGA strike, can they?

Yes, R66. If they possess the scripts, then they have all they need.

That's a major focus of the writers' strike.

The old model of TV production is that writers were part of the production crew, writing in real time and on set for rehearsals to do rewrites and punch ups all the way up until shooting.

By working this way, they learned how a whole TV production works and they advanced from writers to producers to show runners.

Streaming networks like Netflix and Amazon refuse to allow writers onto their sets. They buy the scripts outright and then dismiss the writers as the series is produced. The writers have no further input and they are not allowed access to the sets. They are workers for hire, not part of a team. This is probably the most significant aspect of this writers' strike: they want access to sets so that they can improve their writing as they see it acted out and so that they can learn on the job and have a chance to be promoted to producers and show runners.

Producers at Amazon sometimes are just executives who have no idea how to make a good TV show. But they call the shots because they are corporate execs with access to money.

R67, very interesting! Thanks for sharing

Greg Cope White is the book author but also one of the writers on the show and he left the set when the strike started. I wonder how that affects the show moving forward.

Maybe they're using ChatGPT to write the scripts.

Is Kieron a Brit?

R71, yeah from Manchester

Marine orgy

That explains the teef.

R74, he has a nice smile

Hello, Meathead!

Will he fuck sitting on the terlit?

[quote] Vera is looking rough.

Maybe she's playing a butch drill sergeant?

Vera is playing Miles' mom

Vera Miles should be almost old enough for grandmother roles.

Who else is excited for this show?

[quote] Miles Heizer to Star as Gay Marine in Netflix Dramedy From Norman Lear

By “star as a gay marine”, do you mean “star in a Private Benjamin” remake? Because there is a chance I would watch that.

Do you mean jarhead, r76?

Miles is so fucking hot whether he’s femme or masc. I’d bottom for him any day. I’d suck the skin off his dick.

Who would Miles play in a Private Benjamin remake?

I could picture him in the Belinda Carlisle role in Swingshift.

“I didn’t join this Marines, I joined the fun Marines, with the Condos and the Gay orgies!”

I only know who this guy is because he was a fuard judge on Drag Race years ago. I had never heard of him before.

His face was beautiful on that episode but he had zero personality. None at all.

Is there a baby Marines unit? Because he looks like a baby.

Miles dropped another thirst trap on his IG stories!

Yes I remember that r87, he brought nothing to his guest judge episode. So boring.

New thirst trap

Miles is a huge Drag Race fan, I'm sure his nerves got the best of him while filming the show. Plus it didnt help that Lizzo was also a judge that day, she's very loud.

r91 Oh my.

I’ve heard Miles has a big dick.

Norman Lear has been a friend to the gays for decades. Love him

Didn't he partake in "The gay man dies" trope?

Top

And Connor has posted in the past about not being a top.

Connor has made a couple of posts suggesting he is versatile, R98. See one of them below.

Let’s welcome Marine Miles to the Active Duty sex house! Miles, Cole is looking forward to meeting you!

Miles with Angus and his bf, threesome?

[quote] I’ve heard Miles has a big dick.

Bullshit. He's hung like a mouse compared to me!!

Since this is a co-production with Helix, there will be lots of sex scenes!

When does the show actually begin on Netflix?

Will Mae being playing his mom in this?

Did Mae and Brenda ever meet?

Fuck me Miles!

Bottom

Nah. Connor posted his original pic with the comment to indicate he is not exclusively bottom, R108.

Not exclusively bottom = Sometimes he's too tired to bottom/have sex at all.

r99 Versatile, schmersatile. If Miles is packing what he's rumored to have, Connor must have been exclusively bottom when they were together.

Tell us how old you are without telling us how old you are R111. Stereotype much?

Miles is known in Hollywood as the jackhammer!

Kieron posted the dogs, is he the new Connor?

What do we know about Kieron? Exs?

They do a good job covering tattoos.

This will get about ten viewers.

Norman Lear’s not dead yet?

Neither is Sally Struthers and I can completely see her playing his grandmother in this.

A Norman Lear show. So per the Lear formula everybody but the gay marines and maybe a couple of woke POCs will be stupidly hateful and each week hilariously put in their place.

I don't care as long as Miles is nude and involved in unsimulated, deep penetration sex scenes with big, muscular Helix models.

Miles can turn many tops into bottoms.

Miles is pure sex. I want him quite badly.

I'm really looking forward to this show. Just hoping netflix cares about it and gives it some promo

The buzzrd does not suit Miles. His features are too delicate for such severity.

Miles posted a pic of himself with his arm around Kieron in his IG stories! Bfs??

Vera Ferminga stats forever working . Get that dough girl!

Do better, Vera Farmiga! You’re an Academy Award nominated actress, dammit!

Miles brought his dogs on the set with him.

Norman Lear is 100 and still working!

Who TF is Miles Heizer?

How many times has Miles presented hole while crossing a picket line?

Miles and his new bf?

r133 No, they are co-stars in the film Ex-Husbands (previously known as 'Men of Divorce') which was shot in Mexico last year. This pic is from a promotional junket that they undertook at the San Sebastian Film Festival

I wonder if Froy auditioned for this?

I’d fuck the shit outta him.

r46's idea of useless:

Now that the writers are back, will this improve the quality of double-penetration scenes?

R101 they probably both fucked Angus. I feel bad for the guy on the left’s third wheel husband. Yikes!

Holy shit!!

He looks like a floozy in the new Instagram pics. I approve.

Gayest pose yet.

He just keeps getting hotter....I see Brandon had to comment, too!

Is this still in production?

Is there something for Colton?

The comments about his latest musical offering are hilarious: "Bro you need to focus on acting and leave that shty azz music alone cuz that sht is wack" "This is what it must sound like be lobotomized"

Bump

No news about this show two years later, I think it's safe to assume it's stuck in development hell or has been quietly shelved.

Darn

R148 No, it has been completed and was always scheduled for a mid-2025 release, so should hopefully be out relatively soon. Netflix have actually just this month announced a(nother) new title for the show, (previously "The Pink Marine" and then "The Corps") which is now to be called: "Boots"

r150 That's great news! I did come across the new title, but got confused and thought it was referring to a different show because the tags under the article weren't connected.

I’ll do a month on Netflix to watch this…

Watching 13 Reasons Why again the casting director fucking knew what they were doing. They cast the hottest guys for every taste. Probably the best cast show for hot guy variety.

[quote] Is he dating anyone?

You're in luck! I think Norman Lear is single right now!

BOOTS drops on Netflix October 9th!!

Miles is playing the oldest Marine recruit in America!

Here is the Netflix article about the release date.

Miles is now on the promotional trail for Boots and is the cover star for Attitude. The show finally has a release date announced, too - 9th Oct:

Let's try that link again:

Girl.

Trailer.

Another article with Pics and trailer. There better be some hot man on man action in this because otherwise…doesn’t look great. But I’ll give it a chance.

Does Vera Farmiga star as Lorraine Warren in this?

The memoir The Pink Marine is very good. Audiobook is great and read by the author.

I started watching this show today. Max Parker is gorgeous. Any thoughts?

For some reason I read this as he would be playing a Norman Lear character named Gay Marine. I was just thinking Isn’t Gay a girl’s name?

Norman Lear?!?

Lear shepherded this into production before he died. He was a big liberal, so not that unexpected.

Much better than I expected. Service comedies and dramas usually build on a misfit troop of characters whether it's Bilko or Platoon. This has them but they're not over the top and the usual Lear yelling is only done by drill sergeants.

Given the current political climate, it's gotten zero promotion. Hopefully, word of mouth will build interst.

I always wondered why she had a furry midriff. . Yikes.

R1 The bloom of youth certainly has left Vera.

I'm enjoying it.

I find the drill sgt very handsome and sexy.

I'm stunned that the fat guy gained so much weight for the role. I wonder whether he's just gained a lot of weight or whether he did it specifically for the role. In later episodes, he's also clearly lost a lot of weight.

So I guess the mandate of only casting gays for gay roles is over now.

[quote]Norman Lear?!?

Yup. Alan Sepinwall:

"While working on (the 1994 CBS sitcom) 704 Hauser, Lear met writer Greg Cope White, who spent six years in the Marines despite being a closeted gay man, in the years before the introduction of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Lear and White remained friendly over the years, and eventually they realized they wanted to tell White's story, which led to White's memoir The Pink Marine, and now its streaming adaptation Boots, adapted by Andy Parker. I haven't read the book, but the show is an engaging coming-of-age story, with strong performances by Miles Heizer and Max Parker."

[quote]So I guess the mandate of only casting gays for gay roles is over now.

In this case, that's a ridiculous soundbite comment.

Heizer is relatively well-cast in the role, as is Max Parker.

Steve and I met at a local bar; we were about the same age and went to nearby but different high schools. He was one of those always-on types; loud, high-energy, nellie vibes with vocal fry. He loved doing half-assed, low-rent drag, then hitting the clubs in WeHo. We hung out for a bit after high school, then drifted.

Cut to a few years later, I wander into a porn shop and gay-gasp... there’s Steve’s handsome face on a video cover, starring as 'Matt Gunther.' Second gay-gasp when I saw what he was working with. Had no idea. Good for her.

Gone too soon, lost to the plague. RIP.

Oopsi. Wrong thread

I tried. I can’t take screaming drill sergeants. I’m one of those gays who was not thrilled with the idea of gays finally being allowed in the military, a party I never wanted an invitation to. So this movie, no thanks.

The amount of yelling made it stressful to watch.

They need to put a trigger warning in front of the show.

Finished the series today - thoroughly enjoyed it!

I just finished watching episode one and loved it! The show is really well cast and written. I’m looking forward to watching more. Highly recommended.

I was thinking/hoping it would have more gay sex, but even so, it was really good! Better than I anticipated. It wound up being quite moving.

I would watch a second season which saw them deployed to the Persian Gulf war.

It's unfortunate that the ending makes Sgt Sullivan unlikely to recur unless they did a whole separate story line of him put on trial for both the bar fight and also a trial to dishonorably discharge him for the homosex.

It's strange. I found Max Parker sexy as Sullivan, but meh in the interviews as himself.

Is there appropriate trans representation in this series? Is the cast represented by all racial and ethnic minorities? If I don’t see myself on the screen I really can’t enjoy a TV show or movie or relate to any of the characters.

Lots of gay actors in this.

R185 Who?

Max Parker

Angus O’Brien

The bloom of youth certainly has left Vera.

R170 that dye job does her no favors.

NYT review.

The audiobook The Pink Marine read by the author is very good.

Why did Miles not get a love interest? Not even a kiss. Wtf?! I expected a boyfriend for him. Such a letdown. Why do they always do this with gay male shows? They make the gays asexual, meanwhile lesbians get to kiss and have sex in every episode. The double standard is annoying.

[quote]Why did Miles not get a love interest? Not even a kiss. Wtf?!

And why did he not get a male love interest on [italic]Parenthood[/italic]? Jason Katims was a pussy. A major motherfucking pussy.

I just knew his character on Parenthood was gay, but they never went there.

Commenters above day dreaming about top energy really need to watch this show.

Miles certainly hasn't put on weight in his 30s.

I enjoyed it. It’s not a real brain drain and it moves quickly. Plus some eye candy.

It looks like the actor who plays Jones is gay IRL too.

MILES HELZER, Grampa!

The fuck? He doesn’t get a love interest? Is it completely devoid of any gay sex?

He seems fun.

Vera Farmiga has never received the acclaim she should have. Huge co-stars, and she gets the chopped-liver treatment.

I loved this show. It was surprising to me.

He’s pretty hot, R200

The best friend, Ray, was adorably likable.
