What's something that you had no idea about concerning Kiss untill you read it in one of the tell-all books?

Gene's foray into acting actually started during the Unmasked era as he was actively taking acting lessons and was actually in the running to costar in a sitcom pilot early that year. He obviously either didn't get the part or the project never went through. But, it makes me wonder what if he would have been casted? Makeup was still on. Would that have forced them to really unmask earlier than they did?
