CockyBoys‘ next feature film release A Thing of Beauty is just a week away from premiering Part I (of many), but in the mean time, I thought I would check out what one of the stars has been up to via Twitter.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Dale Cooper — he’s the kind of guy you can tell has a really big heart. And not only that, but he’s also seriously one of the coolest people in the world… here are four reasons why:

The original Dale Cooper did porn, too!

1. He’s really in touch with pop culture. Not only did he base his name off one of the most well-known (and hottest) cult detectives of all time, but each of his tattoos represent a “virtue” from a video game he used to play as a kid.

2. The man has brains. If you didn’t already know, Dale’s an extremely prolific writer for The Huffington Post. He will enlighten as much as he’ll entertain you with his articles about the late programmer Aaron Swartz, the swirling shit pot that is Grindr, and what exactly the LGBT civil rights movement means for the economy. His intelligence should inspire everyone in the porn world to stop gripping their dick every once in a while and replace it with a book!

3. He also creates impressive drawings with a unique style:

4. And finally, he’s one of those people who just “knows” about cool shit. Like the website he used to digitally distribute a recently self-shot and directed art porno with on-again off-again real life boyfriend and Beauty co-star, Colby Keller. Make Love Not Porn is a very new website that can basically compare to mainstream porn studios in the same way “indie films” compare to Hollywood. It’s kind of like a more upscale version of the Amateurs section at xTube (I think)… anyone anywhere can submit a film and make money off of it just as long as the video contains “No children, no poop, no animals.”

To rent Dale and Colby’s film, all you have to do is sign up at Make Love Not Porn, and pay like $5. Here are some stills from his movie, and be sure to sign up at CockyBoys to catch A Thing of Beauty premiering at CockyBoys in one week!
