The Bare Essentials of Jason Caceres
The boy who's (naked) in everything talks 'Boy Culture: Generation X,' 'Laid Bare,' 'Open to It' & what it's like being stalked by AI
July 30, 2026
I met Jason Caceres when he auditioned for the part of snarky sex worker Chayce in the series Boy Culture: Generation X, the sequel to the film based on my novel.
Since then (we shot it in 2018), you’ve probably gotten to know him, too, as the star of everything from the current series Laid Bare, Tim O’Leary’s murder mystery set in a clothing-optional resort; and Open to It, a polyamorous sitcom; to 100+ so-called verticals, quick-hit slices of entertainment that have exploded in popularity recently.
I’m about to post a long celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original Boy Culture film. Until then, I knew you’d enjoy hearing from the boy who’s helping to shape gay culture with his witty, barely clothed performances.
One big break and he’ll transition from gay-famous to the mainstream kind.
