Benjamin Bradley is back, and COLT's got him in the new "Lotus." Bradley gives us an insight into want it's like to be a porn star, and what life is like on the Buckshot set. The informative piece can be viewed at the COLT website and, yes, he is still quite lovely, as is Brian Hansen, his scene partner in the new Buckshot goodie. Also appearing are Lucky Daniels, Ricky Martinez, Dayton O'Connor, Jesse Swift, and Brian Hansen again (not that we're complaining) with John Magnum. Check it out on the COLT site now.
Agent Dak King at Hot Rods Casting sent one of his email blasts the other day, promoting a couple of guys who haven't been around the biz for awhile (he also sent some who are still quite active, like Tristan Jaxx, right), but apparently are looking for more...ahem, exposure. One of them is Brad Benton, who hasn't made a porn film for a few years, but has done some mainstream performing. Also mentioned by Dak is Troy Michaels, not as well known, perhaps, as Brad, but Troy did several movies for the biggies, including Rascal, Big Blue, and the late Sports'N Recreation company, who took this photo of the blond bombshell.
You of course remember Michael Verdugo, the gay ex-cop who became a contestant on "Design Star?" You may remember him as Jeremy Weiss (or something like that), all tied up and ready for action in Tom "Ropes" McGurk's "Rope Ritual" for Grapik Arts Studio back in '96 (and I still find it difficult to use the word "action" when describing a McGurk film, but I digress). Anyway, Verdugo (then and now, to your left) was dismissed from the Hollywood FL police department a couple of years ago. Now, his attorney is filing a civil suit against the constabulary, claiming wrongful termination and discrimination. Mr. Verdugo has been quiet about the whole thing, but now has gone public with his grievances, and I say, good for him. "The amont of positive feedback I'm getting is incredible," he said, as he is "inspired to participate in the fight for fair and equal rights." The film, by the way, has apparently been pulled from the McGurk catalog, and was last released as part of a "Best Of..." series.
Jason Sechrest is working his darling tush off (well, according to Brandon Baker, anyway...) promoting his latest newbie and DV8 Casting member. Brandon Wilde (not to be, and never will be, confused with the late actor of the same sort-of-name) arrived for his big debut in LA last week, and shot his first XXX scene for Suite 703 with Trevor Knight. Talk about being "broken in." He also did a solo and duo scene for Cruiser Boys, and, if you're reading this in a timely manner, he will be seen at the XBIZ Awards this Wednesday night, and at the after-party (coincidentally, I'm sure, hosted by Jason and Chi Chi) at Here Lounge's Garage from 10PM-2AM. A full week of the lovely lad.
