Since not everyone reading this column has watched it, let me first tell you that <em>Boots<\/em> is about a closeted teenager who joins the <em>Marines <\/em>back in the 1990s \u2013 well before <em>Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell<\/em> (and certainly before it was repealed).&nbsp; That means <em>Boots<\/em> shows you lots of hot guys running around boot camp in and out of showers \u2013 or at least that\u2019s what it looked like in the clip I saw.&nbsp; The young recruit is played by <strong>Miles Heizer<\/strong>.&nbsp; Max plays his \u201cdrill sergeant\u201d \u2013 oh, so that\u2019s what they call it these days.&nbsp;&nbsp; He can drill me anytime \u2013 especially because the lovely Mr. Parker is indeed gay.&nbsp; Alas, he\u2019s married.&nbsp; Well, you win some, you lose some.&nbsp; He met actor <strong>Kris Mochrie <\/strong>on the set of <strong><em>Emmerdale<\/em><\/strong> in the UK, got engaged in 2022, and married this past summer.&nbsp; Did I mention that they played brothers on the soap?&nbsp; I\u2019ve heard of brotherly love, but this is ridiculous.&nbsp;&nbsp;Going back to <em>Boots<\/em>, Max is paired with the very fetching <strong>Sachin Bhatt<\/strong>, who you might recognize from <strong><em>Queer As Folk<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; Should you care, Max is the big spoon \u2013 as you\u2019ll see on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.BillyMasters.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>BillyMasters.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\" alt=\"colorbar1\" width=\"500\" height=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m ladling out such hot stuff, we\u2019ve definitely come to the end of yet another column.&nbsp;
