Just read it this weekend - very enjoyable for the most part. Plenty of drama, humor, and stories about him being a sex worker while he was appearing on 30 Rock and other shows plus his struggles with mental illness. I like him. Anyone else read it yet? Any personal stories of meeting him?
Jeffery Self book "Self Sabotage"

Gosh, he’s a writer, producer, actor, and director and yet he’s not Cole Escola.
Does Jeffery have a hit play touring the country with a bosomed understudy?
I will say, his IMDB page is more honest than Cole’s. Pictures of Jeffery make him appear as if he survived a Lutheran fentanyl rehab. Cole, on the other hand, looks like the boy next door. I’ve seen a lot of graffiti on that kid’s head.

George Bernard Shaw remarked on the chummy relationship between the stage and the brothel.
The excerpt here sounds like he's leaning way too hard into the "It's just like hooking up only for money!" narrative.

I don't think prostitution is an interesting subject unless it involves famous people. I'm not going to buy this guy's book to read about him fucking a gross nobody for money when we've all done that for free.

He was the catalyst for Andy Cohen's "vile pit of trollery" comment about DL.

He’s ok. Kind of up his ass and always “on “ in mixed company. Theres a certain kind of Hollywood gay in that whole writer/actor scene that has polished their personality to the point where they can not longer be internal. Like they’ve taken the lessons of improv study and applied it to life to the point where the ping pong game must never stop. As an introvert I find it exhausting.

He gives a shout out to Datalounge… stating that reading about himself here is worse on the self-loathing list than even Reddit.

He's 38 years old and he already wrote a memoir ?
No thanks.

I’ve met him several times and he’s very nice. He’s exactly the sort of person DL loves to hate. The new book has very clever writing, and most of you would enjoy it.
And save your “hi Jeffery!”’s. I’m not him.

R20, he writes about how he (in all ways self-loathing) Googles himself. He then states (paraphrasing) that Reddit is worse but worst of all is reading about himself on Datalounge.

[quote] The new book has very clever writing
[quote] “As this gay Gordon Gekko and I traded our assets of bodily fluids, I glanced over at the polished mid-century modern mahogany desk piled with important-looking documents and spotted a copy of that week’s TimeOut New York, opened to the LGBT section. There, smack-dab in the middle of the page amid listings of drag shows and circuit parties, was a large picture of me and my best friend advertising the show we would be performing at Joe’s Pub that night. The john, who really did look like a poor man’s Michael Douglas in his Wall Street era, noticed me staring at it... but neither of us acknowledged it. Besides the embarrassment for us both, we were busy: the stock market was open, and he was IP-ing my O.”
Wow. It’s like if Mark Twain got his hole pounded for cash.

The weird thing about memoirs of whoring are only interesting if:
a) the writer is genuinely famous in some other way (like Rupert Everett's Hello, Darling Are You Working?)
b) they fucked famous people and are willing to name names (like in You'll Never Make Love in This Town Again)
Otherwise they're just not very interesting. Several gay porn stars have written memoirs, and not a single one of them is really worth reading.
This guy is not famous enough to warrant people reading this memoir. His biggest career achievement is a single episode of "30 Rock."

R33, his collection of essays include a lot more than whoring, did you read it in its entirety?

The labored sex metaphor in the gay Gordon Gekko anecdote is very Carrie Bradshaw. I definitely don't want to read his book if he tries that hard to be cute and clever.

He write that he and his husband are in an open relationship - so, if he has a big part in Drop he may have gotten that from fucking around with director Chris Landon. Anyhow, that's what I'm fantasizing.
