According to Unzipped, Colt was chosen because of his aggressive and riveting onscreen performances and his offscreen charitable work. The Man of the Year was voted on my Unzipped readers.

“He’s the whole package: sexy, smart and a heart of gold,” said Tony Prickett, Mustang Studios director of promotion.

"After seeing his assertive bedside manner in ‘Green Door,’ I knew Samuel was a force to be reckoned with onscreen,” said managing editor Winston Gieseke, who interviewed Colt for the magazine. “What I wasn’t prepared for was the humble, down-to-earth, genuinely nice guy he is in real life. Everyone I spoke to had nothing but wonderful things to say about him.”

Along with Colt’s layout, which was inspired by noir movies like “Sin City” and “The Spirit,” the latest issue of Unzipped features nude photo sets of Man of the Year finalists Chris Rockway, Lucky Daniels, Bo Dean and Jeremy Walker. Former Man of the Year Zeb Atlas also returns to Unzipped with an exclusive photo set and interview.

According to Unzipped, it will hold official Man of the Year parties throughout February and March.

The new Unzipped also features a photo set with twink model Jayden Taylor, and a profile on new Falcon Studios exclusive Landon Conrad. Rounding out the issue is a history of the seminal dirty man publication Straight To Hell by online editor Sean Carnage, a travel feature on San Francisco’s infamous Nob Hill Theatre by Travis Knight, and an article on the double standard gay men impose on the porn stars they idolize by James Withers.

Exclusive videos supplementing the March issue, including an extended interview with Colt and solo scene with Atlas will be posted on Blog.Unzipped.net/Unzipped-Videos when the issue hits newsstands, the company said.
