Now available on DVD from Culture Q Connection/Ariztical Video, 10 Attitudes tells the amusing story of Josh (openly gay comedian Jason Stuart), a caterer in L.A. who ends his relationship with longtime lover Lyle, when he discovers that he is cheating on him. Newly single, Josh’s best friend Brandon (Christopher Cowan) bets him that he can find him a new lover in 10 dates. However, if by the end of the tenth date Josh is still single, he will leave L.A. for the friendlier confines of home in Cleveland. Stuart, in addition to starring in the movie, co-wrote the screenplay. He will be performing Jan. 6-9 at the Ice House in Pasadena. He recently took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about the movie.

Gay & Lesbian Times: You co-wrote the screenplay to your movie 10 Attitudes with the movie’s director Michael Gallant. What was that experience like for you?

Jason Stuart: The film is almost total improv! We wrote maybe 20 percent with my partner Michael Gallant. (He is) only (my) partner on the film! I am still single. I know, hard to tell!

GLT: Your movie 10 Attitudes poses the question, “Can a regular gay guy find love in L.A.?” Regardless of the way that question is answered in the movie, do you personally think it’s possible?

JS: Ohhhhhhh!!!!!!! I am still looking, hoping and praying for Mr. Right, but too often end up with Mr. Right Now. My new show is called “The Looking for Mr. Right Comedy Tour”. So I’m putting it out there.

JS: Men are whores! What can I say? I myself have never cheated, but I have had my fair share of guys.

JS: I think it’s not just gay men; it’s men in general. We are raised to be hunters. Wow, I sound butch!

JS: Not really. Some of my best friends I met in L.A. Alexandra Paul, from Baywatch, plays my sister in the film. All I had to do was make a call and she said “Where and when?” I said, “Can we use your house?” and she said, “Come on over!”

JS: I have known Judy forever! Last week we were going to a movie and a fan yelled, “There goes the real ‘Will & Grace’.”

JS: My mom is not an actress, but has the best sense of humor. The director, Michael Gallant, said, “I am going to go to Palm Springs and film her.” I did not expect much. He asked a few questions and she was great and soooo funny! I was proved so wrong. Every one loves her and howls when she comes on screen.

GLT: 10 Dates has some serious moments, including the flashback scene where Josh is picked on by school bully, Jack.

JS: That was taken from a real life experience and I did date a guy who used to make fun of me as a kid. We met years later and started to date a bit. It was hot, but did not last long. It happened [when I was] in my 20s.

GLT: You co-star with Faye Dunaway and Tony Goldwyn in the drama Ghosts Never Sleep. What was it like working with Dunaway?

JS: She was a dream come true. She loves the work and is a pro. The only strange thing was she kept pulling her Oscar out of her purse, saying “I won this!” Just kidding. I have gotten to work with some great actors.

JS: The difference is the person. He hired me because we knew each other. He had crashed a party at my house years ago and we became friendly. Then I saw him at the Outfest in L.A. We saw the “gay Hitler” film! Is Hitler gay on not? Who knew? He called me in to read and I got it! I think some directors are homophobic and some could care less and some see it as an asset.

JS: It was a blast! I did not even have to audition! They knew I was good at improv, I guess. I play the assistant to McG, the director of the Charlie’s Angels films. They do a mock film called Charlie’s Angels 3: The Forgotten Angels. The only catch is that McG does not show up, he’s too busy. So I run all his stand-ins. You know studio McG, meeting McG, phone McG, etc. I could never get phone McG on the line! They were asking for names for their characters in the fake film and I said she should be called “Cayenne” and Kirstie said the other two girls should be caller “Pepper” and “Sugar”. Sugar was a little person. The show is improve-style like “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. I cannot wait to see it!

JS: I love the interaction with the audience. I have a Q&A section at the end of the show that runs five to 15 minutes, depending on the amount of questions. The most asked question is, “When did you know you were gay?” I always say Thursday.

JS: The traveling in airports. The airlines have become so hard to deal with in terms of any changes or the actual service. Don’t get me started! I feel like we are cattle and if they call it an air bus one more time I might as well live in a trailer park!
