Twenty-eight-year-old Sebastian Long has been called the best actor of his generation. Discovered while performing cheap fight pictures in Morocco, Sebastian wins an Oscar for his breakthrough role in the film Checkmate. His performance is raw, surprising, and powerful-a calculated dance with sexual taboo.
But his performance isn't the only contributing factor to the Oscar win. Paramount Pictures helps Sebastian get the Oscar by positioning him in the media as the first gay contender. Sebastian's handlers work the "gay is hot" factor, making Sebastian the new gay "it" boy. The only problem is that Sebastian is married and is the father of two young children; his wife, Claire, and family are hidden from the media.
Sebastian excels at pretending to be gay off-camera. But gay protest groups discover he is straight, violent, and self-serving. Every film studio wants Sebastian to play a gay role in their next picture. But all of that changes when Sebastian arrives with his wife at the Oscar ceremony and kisses her on international television, triggering Paramount to initiate legal proceedings for breach of contract. These proceedings have a decided impact on Sebastian's future career.

Year of My Sticky: A Novel
Chapter One
[Note to publisher. I need a plastic overlay.Right here, front page, clear plastic like in biology textbooks.
On the overlay I want letters. No frog veins or muscle structure from bat wings. Just alphabet letters done up like the notes the killer leaves in movies. Cut from newsprint and glued sloppily on the page.
The letters spell S-T-A-R-T, red bold. Red letters, clear plastic.]
This S-T-A-R-T-S when I S-T-O-P-P-E-D.
I was all, "Leave me alone, can't you?"
After being in three American movies, two Moroccan fight features, one weird documentary, plus Freakkkky Fashion Shit.
"I quit. I quit." That's me. Squawk-Squawk-Squawker Voice.
But can I quit? That's the question.
Can I resist the shitlift of being interviewed and photographed with no shirt on? Can I refuse cover shots for Maxim, GQ, Huomo Vogue-pants slipping down, Mr. Low-Slung Art-Directed Open-Pants-Guy.
How 'bout the thrill of going places? I'm not talking around the world, sweetheart. I mean check this out.
70-millimeter lens aims right at me, lights on, smoke set, camera rolling, our lord and master cries ACTION, the crew freezes. "Will he nail it?" Slo-mo suspense. "Can we get doughnuts after this take?"
No dialogue, just my eyes forty feet wide on the big screen, deranged and passionate.
"Humiliation," the director whispers in my ear, "is power. Now show us."
Takes 1 through 8 suck real bad. It's a bad-assed reaction shot, funky and deep, so what's the problem? Why can't I deliver?
"Hel-lo?" The director beats his forehead against my
