...training when he signed on with two burlesque vets to be the set-up guy, or "third banana," on a tour that included Staten Island and Atlantic City. It was there he learned "the crazy doctor bit" that he would use as Dr. Young, the medical hygienist in Deep Throat...

And the movie -maybe all of porno chic -wouldn't exist if Chuck Traynor hadn't shown Damiano a bedroom trick his wife Linda could do.
