Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg) is a young California man looking for a shot at stardom, like so many before him. He’s not particularly smart and doesn’t have any particular talents. But he does have a gift — he’s very well endowed. As he’s getting into the porn industry, he realizes he must pick a name. He tells his director Jack (Burt Reynolds) that he wants one that “can cut glass, y’know, razor sharp.” Adams continues, “When I close my eyes, I see this thing, a sign. I see this name in bright blue neon lights with a purple outline. And this name is so bright and so sharp that the sign — it just blows up because the name is so powerful … It says “Dirk Diggler.” And so it is. A name that sounds like a throbbing erection.
