Thomas Jane's fictional character in HBO's Hung moonlights as a male prostitute, and now the actor has revealed that he experimented in the sex industry too when he was a struggling teenage actor, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I was 18. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?" said Jane in an interview with the L.A. Times, referring to the predominately homosexual Los Angeles enclave of West Hollywood.

"Hey, you grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you're going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don't accept people's sexual flavors," Jane explained, comparing his pre-fame money making attempts to that of another Hollywood heart throb.
