Matinee 'Idols'

Jim Verraros, "Eating Out"

Idol history: A nerdy top 10 finalist from the show’s first season, Verraros came out of the closet and went on to record a string of dance albums.

Big screen role: Verraros starred in both “Eating Out” and the inevitable sequel "Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" [pictured, he's on the right], which may or may not be soft-core gay porn. Next up he’ll play an “angry drag queen” in “Butterfly, Butterfly.”

Will he ever win an Oscar? The Academy does love gender-benders…
