Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother's friend's dad's house totally haunted?

My dad doesn't like to talk about most of his life prior to having me. He's very protective of his image and reputation, and I really have no idea who he is as a person, only as the father that raised me.

Well there's only three possibilities... Secret agent, mafia, or gay porn star.

My dad was two of those things. Well, only two as far as I know.

To be fair there's not a lot of profit incentive in the secret service for the Gay Porn Mafia.

He was a gay porn star. Gay Mafia & the gay secret agent were his two super hit plots.
