- Mr. Skin is the world's foremost authority on celebrity nudity. Armed with the twin novelties of cable TV and a VCR in the early 80s, Mr. Skin watched and recorded R-and PG-rated movies obsessively in search of nude scenes. As his basement screening room in the Chicago suburbs became overrun with tapes edited down to "the good parts," young Mr. Skin began bowling over friends and acquaintances with his vast, flawless, flat-out skin-cyclopedic knowledge of which actresses got naked in what films. In 1998, Mr. Skin struck up a bar conversation with a Chicago radio personality that led to a series of on-air guest shots. From there, Mr. Skin applied his knowledge to the World Wide Web. He launched MrSkin.com in 1999 and created the greatest, most dynamic, most all-encompassing warehouse of celebrity nudity - along with all the information he'd been carrying in his head - on the Internet. Mr. Skin is one of the most popular guests on modern radio, having appeared on over 500 programs, most notably The Howard Stern Show, where he is a well-liked regular. His name has also become synonymous with celebrity nudity and fans know that MrSkin.com is exactly where to turn to when they're "fast-forwarding to the good parts."- IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous

- Sent an open letter to director Judd Apatow in 2012 pointing out that Apatow using CGI "nudity" in This is 40 (2012) is a bad idea, stating, "to encourage a whole new generation of gorgeous gals to cover up with this post-production sham is a shame" and that it "could usher in a whole new era of fake nudes."
- [nudity in horror films] I am above all a nudity fan and horror is the number-one genre for nudity. Thus, that makes me a horror fanatic.
- [on too much nudity in films] There is NO such thing as too much nudity.
- The simple fact is that, on the big screen, we have been and will likely continue to see less nudity. With home video, it's simply not the draw it once was when it comes to getting people into theaters. There are exceptions, of course, Piranha 3D being a big one. But on video, where you can really, deeply, and skintimately enjoy a nude scene, I think horror movies will continue to be the vanguard of nudity, offering more nakedness in terms of both quantity and inventive quality as we go forward.
- [defining nudity] And for the record, I define "nudity" per se, as the visibility of one or combination of the following body parts: nipples, butt-crack, pubic hair, labia and/or anus. A butt in a thong is NOT a naked butt. And online there will be a lot of claims of topless photos where the chick is covering her nipples. That is NOT topless.
