Blair Underwood may be smoking hot, but he’s not just another pretty face.

This actor and director is a novelist, too – and he came to right to “Extra” to let us read him like a book!

Blair just finished his second book, “Casenegra,” an erotic murder mystery.

“It’s hot and steamy for some summertime reading,” Blair said.

This talented actor wants to turn his book into a movie and play the leading man – a former actor turned gigolo!

So does that mean that Blair is a gigolo in real life?

“That’s a big no,” he promised.

The happily-married father of three also just finished directing his first film, “Bridge to Nowhere,” which will hit theaters next year.

In the meantime, “Casenegra” heats up the shelves July 10.
