Chris Salvatore had a fairy tale entry into Hollywood. At 24 he was cast in his first feature film, 2009’s Eating Out: All You Can Eat. He went on to appear in another two sequels of the sexually progressive gay comedy series.
The Eating Out films and many others such as Another Gay Movie, Shelter, Adam And Steve, Summer Storm and Slutty Summer were part of a gay sub-genre of independent films produced in the late ’90s and 2000s that were made by gay actors and film makers in an unapologetic style for a gay audience. In the days before subscription TV they were distributed via DVD and screened at festivals.
