Reformed porn star Marc Anthony Donais (aka Ryan Idol) will be making waves this fall in Joe Mantello redirection of Terrence McNally's The Ritz.

Even though I come from that business, if one were to look at the plots from the films that I did - I only did 6 - it's art depicting life and life depicting art. My first movie was close to where I was in my own life, and that was being curious about the gay world but having come from a Catholic background.

And now he's transcended labels. His should be a Broadway story. Perhaps McNally needs a follow-up to Deuce?
