From what I've heard slysnide, he's not actually trying to become a porn star. In it he's a down-on-his-luck high school basketball coach who so happens to be well-endowed. The trailer implies that he becomes something of an escort.

The plot sounds terrible. A guy looking to be a porn star (as implied) in a 10 episode show that's only 315 minutes long. Maybe it'll end there as a miniseries???

The best I've seen from HBO was "The Wire" & "Band Of Brothers" airing in 2002 & 2001 respectively. "The Pacific" airs in March 2010. Can't wait for that, despite my doubts.

Since I watch True Blood I might check it out since I like Thomas Jane.
