When you don’t really crack it as an actor on your own, you write a tell-all memoir about your wild summer with Tom Cruise.

That’s exactly what Curtis Armstrong, who would appear in the likes of Revenge of the Nerds and Moonlighting, has gone and done.

According to Hollywood Reporter, “the book includes a very funny and remarkably candid chapter…about the summer of 1982 when Armstrong travelled to Chicago to shoot a teen romp called Risky Business“.

Now the chapter is included in full, and contains plenty of juicy details, but let’s get straight to the nitty gritty:

[Tom] self-identified as a born-again Christian and the rumor [sic] was he had actually considered shepherding souls for a living. I could believe it. Away from the set, initially, Tom made straight arrows look like corkscrews. I would ask him at the end of the day if he would like to join us at the bar for a drink. “No,” I recall him saying, “Got an early call tomorrow. Got to work out still, study my lines. And then I like to read the Bible a little before bed.”

I laughed. He didn’t. “Ah,” I said, cutting off the laugh at the pass and nodding wisely. “A little bit of the Good Book before bedtime, eh?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Just a little at night. Keeps me on the right track, you know?”

But then, returning late one night, I found three or four young girls — late teens, I suspect — lined up in the hall outside of Tom’s room. I remember thinking, “Tom’s going to be really upset if these hot girls interfere with his Bible reading.” So I asked them, with all the stern gravitas of my 28 years, if there was something I could do to help them.

They just stared at me, and at that moment, Tom’s door opened and another girl came out, adjusting her hair and taking off down the hall, while the first girl in line slipped into Tom’s room. This was a young man who knew something about time management and understood how to successfully juggle Bible study and blow jobs. I went to bed alone that night thinking it served me right for not being religious.
