Oh Hai, Niche Tell-All Book Market: Greg Sestero -who played Mark the amoral lothario in The Room - will finally let us all know what it's like to work with Tommy Wiseau in his new book, Locked Inside 'The Room.' I'm guessing the phrase "for some reason" will be used extensively.

DIBS, I called it - "Canadian Riot" Is The Name of My New Band!
