Boogie All Night

Taylor Lautner participated in a live reading of the 1997 cult classic Boogie Nights. Taylor was on hand to read the part of Dirk Diggler, a high school dropout turned porn star.

Taylor was joined by Don Johnson, Mae Whitman, and Judy Greer for the reading at LACMA. From those in attendance, we hear that Taylor did a spectacular job.

EW stated, “Lautner was perfect. He captured Diggler’s earnestness, sweet stupidity and eventual megalomania with an easy grace that makes you wonder why he hasn’t been given more interesting roles in films.”

Grantland said, ” Lautner was an inspired choice for Dirk Diggler, and even better than I’d guessed — flat affect, skin-deep charisma, undeniable physical presence. But Lautner was hilarious, too — he fully committed to renditions of “Feel My Heat” and “You Got the Touch,” Diggler’s pair of nightmarish power ballads”.

Hopefully, this reading is able to open some amazing doors for Taylor! Also, I am totally jealous of everyone who was able to see this live!
