Thomas Jane Interview On ‘Hung,’ Nude Scenes, How He Measures Up
Thomas Jane‘s the hot star of the hit HBO series Hung. Now, he’s getting ready to LOL with Miley Cyrus in his next film.
Before becoming an actor, Jane was homeless and living in his car, earning money through street performances. But in 1999, Jane’s acting career took off as he went swimming with the sharks in Deep Blue Sea alongside LL Cool J. In 2005, he starred in the adaptation of Stephen King‘s horror story The Mist in which he played David Drayton, father of Billy Drayton, who he ends up killing with a shot to the head by the end of the film.

After a fire destroys his home, he becomes a prostitute to earn a better living for himself and his children. Jane surely pleased many fans with his nude scene. “Taking your clothes off in front of 150 people. I was naked more on set than I was in my own home,” Jane told uInterview exclusively.

Getting finished with it. Going home everyday is nice.
Yeah. It did get renewed. Pretty cool.
I still find it odd. Taking your clothes off in front of 150 people. I was naked more on set than I was in my own home. Well sure, I mean, you can get used to anything, can’t you?
As far as me being the sex object? I’m not really tired of that yet.
I did a film called I Melt With You. Shot up in Big Sur with Jeremy Piven and Rob Lowe. It has to do with the location. We all play lost souls. So, um, it was a real mind-fucker that film.
Oh you know what? She’s a real sweetheart. I went out to meet her and she was so, so nice. She hung out with us on the set for many hours, and she never got tired or bored. She’s excited about acting, and her acting career, and I think she’s a genuine talent. I admire her very much.
You know, just to listen to her dad. He’s done pretty well by her.
Well, I’m writing a western. It’s called A Magnificent Death from a Shattered Hand. And I’m also producing and starring in a film called War Dogs. It's starring me and Ron Perlman. He’s an old buddy of mine.
It’s like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid during the fall of Rome. So it's a couple of Roman soldiers. Running around. It’s a great, excellent script. Me and Ron are gonna kick it in the pants!
