The line of mopes wraps around the warehouse hidden in the Valley’s North Hollywood. It moves, I take a step. These men are not the chiseled, two-hundred pound studs with eight-inch-plus penises of the A-list. They will never get the call to work with even passable looking woman in a scene for a mid-tier studio, [...]

Lady: Did you model for him?
Me: I’m sorry?
Lady: Oh, I mean your shirt. It’s Gianni Versace, is it not?
Me: Haha, uh…yeah…I mean no. I’m not a model, but yeah, it’s Versace. His last season I think.
Lady: Well, it’s beautiful.

Golden Hour

Skin luminescent as the Sun
flames out into the forlorn sea.
A catamaran dancing on the ebb.
Pickup truck dating both of us
labors down Pacific Coast Highway.
His corn-silk hair tousled by the wind.

I walk into recording studio 4 and I am stunned by the 20 piece fucking orchestra jamming away while perfect dancers in feathered costumes (presumably show girls) gyrate in front of the stage. Their feet seem to never hit the ground. Joe Gallant the director escapes from his staff long enough to greet me. He give me a deep warm hug and welcomes me to the set. The warm hug fills me with love that I can not explain. I’ve never met Joe but we have spoken on the phone for hours several times leading up to this colossal project. (more…)

Today is a cuckold sex scene day. These are scenes where the husband watches as you bang the wife. Often times insults are hurled at the hubby. The humiliation factor is important. The studio this is for shoots me regularly and I get a gig a month from them in their more tame movies. They focus on niche markets including scenes where the male talent is dressed in diapers and a baby bonnet with a huge pacifier in his mouth. The “Mom” then shoves a huge milk bottle up his ass. I always know what the scenario is before I ever step on set but there is always an element of “Surprise motherfucker!” to this studio’s sets.

I’m in a director’s office. We’re going to make a big budget flick with a group sex scene. Group scenes consist of several people switching partners a few times during the scene. This is to be the big movie of the year for this studio. Casting well is of paramount importance.
Director: Is there anyone you do not want to work with in this scene?
