Sometimes, while perusing eBay, I nab pics from magazines with uncredited porn stars, like this one of Jason Steele. You never know when you might need it, right? I can spend hours and hours looking through eBay postings for such “finds”. This one’s from a magazine called Manifest, Issue 20 (“America’s Biggest Bargain in Gay Magazines” – $1.95) – probably from 1984 – and probably from the article titled “Leather Fashions: Off The Rack”.
Franco Gonella, AKA Matt Christy
great scene in Oversize Load with Jeff Turk as Scott O’Hara watches them from the next room, before joining in. But his best work (of sadly only 2 films!!??) was his lead role in Too Big for His Britches – he dreams blows a drill instructor in the shower (director Ronnie Shark AKA Bill Harrison), fantasy 3-way with a cop (see pic below), and finally does it with his potential new employer/boss Chad Johnson.
appears uncredited in HONCHO MAY 1986 – spread called “Oversized Load” – no doubt from the film. And in a pic magazine called “Soapstuds” – from Oversize Load (see below)
Hard to believe only 2 films – but I have a vague recollection he did some more specialty films for Zeus, or perhaps one of the wrestling companies in the mid 1980’s??
could if be that my last mention of him was back in 2004 ?
Hunting down pics of Joe Roberts ain’t easy, especially when he’s only done 4 films – A Married Man (co-starring with Jack Wrangler), I Do, A Good Day’s Work (found in Manhandlers Collection), Inches and One on the House (found in Ah Men loops collection (1982) – (via gayeroticvideoindex – thanks); he’s got two pseudonyms (Joe Marconi, Joe Tharp – and a 3rd, “Jack”), and then the movie titles don’t always match up with the magazine titles, like the one above, from One on the House – which is from a magazine called Pinball Master! I have to say, the dates associated with his films seem to be off on GEVI – like my notes show Married Man as 1978 – (vs. GEVI’s 1974) – hard to imagine a “porn career stretching 8 years, til 1982, and only 4 films to show for it. More importantly, check out the clip below and see why Joe has stuck in my mind all these years, playing the gardener in Married Man – the man was HOT! (and I love the beefier him in the above pic). Still trying to figure out where he is in Al Parker’s Inches – either one of the 3 masked guys in Al’s dream of his lover Steve cheating on him, or later, in the bar scene with the Donna Summer soundtrack and anonymous sex. Another puzzle – is that really him as the hairdresser in I Do – mustacheless!! – (egad!!)? Hard to tell from a quick look – anyone?
“Hi, I’m Jack Wrangler and you don’t usually see me on this side of the camera…” —– um, what was that, Jack?
from curly-haired in The Boys In Venice and Rough Cut of 1979, as his hair got shorter (in his work with Al Parker’s Surge Studios and Christopher Rage’s Live Video) he manipulated his junk beyond the simple auto-fellatio of his first two films, he had an amazing package, don’t ya think?
French photographer and model, Michel Guillot – he, as well as his photographs, appeared in Western Man publications; he also did modeling work for Target Studios as Ben Chapin (1976?)
All day looking at porn, working on posts, but completing nothing, like the one hanging in the “drafts” folder since February – of 2016! Anyway, all that and you get this one pic from Christopher Rage’s 1985 movie, Tramps. J D Slater for sure, but the others? perhaps Denton Crane, Jason Daniels, and Steven Bishop? Those are the notes I have from an unfinished (again with the unfinished projects, posts, eBay sales…!!) eBay sale – wonder if this pic below means I still have the tape?
