I have been wanting to include actor and singer Jason Dottley in 'Favorites of Favorite' for awhile now. No better time than now with the DVD release of 'Sordid Lives' the complete series last week. Although it is currently only in stores in Canada, you can find out below how to get your copy.
Why Jason is a Favorite:
I loved 'Sordid Lives' the movie. The 2001 flick was written and directed by Jason's husband, the talented Del Shores. I tuned in initially because I love to check out anything Delta Burke is in. I was drawn into the story, especially the character of Ty (played in the movie by Kirk Geiger) and his journey of self acceptance.
Below: Jason and Del Shores.
I was thrilled when I heard 'Sordid Lives' was going to be series. The series, and the movie boast such an amazing cast and it was great to see so many were joining the tv version. I especially love the talented actress Beth Grant who manages to shine no matter what role she is playing.
My initial disappointment at losing Kirk Geiger was short lived as Jason Dottley's Ty, again became the character I most loved to watch. The transition was seamless and Jason's talent and charisma had me won over in episode one. Shores sets the series before the movie, depicting events leading up to Ty's grandmothers death. Like the movie, Ty is on a journey of self discovery and acceptance. Along the way he finds a boyfriend (the delicious Ted Detwiler), a series of therapists more in need of therapy than Ty, and a role in a stage production of 'Naked Boys Singing'.

Besides 'Sordid Lives' I also love Jason's energy. No matter what he is doing Jason puts his heart and soul into it. Whether it be promoting his show, interacting with fans and traveling the country with his stage show, Jason is there. He is also a hell of a great guy. When I put Jason as my favorite birthday boy on his birthday, he took the time to shoot me a thank you. Add to that Jason is hot as hell with one of the best grins in the business and you can see why he is certainly a favorite!
Jason is currently putting his energy into his music. He spent much of the summer traveling around the US with his stage show. Jason grabbed a lot of attention and even some protests. His stage production of his dance hit, Hit Play (Take Me Away)had to be edited down in one State. Jason just got finished a tour of London where his song 'Party Round The World' with dance diva Debby Holiday is burning up the charts.
