Morning Wood: J.P. Pitoc





Logo was counting down the greatest gay movies of all time this weekend, and I happened to catch part its No. 7 pick, "Trick." I remember how swept away I was when I first saw it back in 1999, that a movie about a would-be one-night-stand could be so utterly romantic. It gave me and all the boys in Chelsea hope that Mr. Right might be standing right there at g ready to hook up that night, but also ready fall in love later. It certainly didn't hurt that sexy J.P. Pitoc played the go-go boy of few words Mark.
Sadly, the Queens-born Pitoc, who was romantically linked to Carol Burnett's daughter Erin for a time (how fun of a mother-in-law might that have been?), has only appeared in small parts on a few television shows since then. It would be nice to see more of him.

(I can't help but wonder if J.P.'s nickname is the same as his character Mark's ...)

That's such a sweet movie. I'm smiling just thinking about it. And 'cause I'm a big dork.

Trick was a cute flick. And so were the boys.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure Pitoc has looked as good in later shows. He was on "Six Feet Under" for a little bit, as one of Claire's love interests, and I totally wasn't impressed.

LOVE J.P. "Beercan" :b Of course Tori Spelling totally stole the movie with her rant over her french fries in the diner!
