Does anybody know any good gossip about Celebs who have done Gay porn in the
past? I have a Gay friend who swears that Matt Daman did one. Is this true?
Reportedly he did it for rent money before becoming famous. I wonder if Ben
got jealous?- Or maybe he joined in.

There was this guy on one of the soaps, forgot which one, it was either NBC or
CBS networkhowever, that had a major career going under a different name as a
gay porn star. When it came out, they dumped him. This was recent, about a year
or so ago. Anyway, I read last year in one of the soap rags that they had hired
him back for a few episodes, apparantly as a cheap bid for numbers during
sweeps week.

This is true by the way. Not one of the rumors or urban legends. For what it's
worth, you might be interested to know that gay porn legend Jack Wrangler is
the son of the guy who produced Bonanza and his Hollywood starlett wife
(Dolores Gray?).

It was Days Of Our Lives and his name is Jeff Griggs <don't know what his
porn name was but it might have been Tony Silver(a)> And it happened almost
5 years ago, roughly. Long story short, it came out that he did some gay
porn (don't know how long ago it was before his gig on DOOL). At the time,
I think DOOL was going to try and rehab the character a bit (he was a
henchman at the time) but according to reports, Kristin Alfonso put her
foot down and demanded he be fired (she was worried he might have AIDS). So
much for DOOL's annual Day of Compassion episode. Of course no one at the
show had any problem letting Krista Allen continue on in the role of Billie
(Krista had done a number of soft core European films under the title
Emmanuelle I-IV or something to that effect). Griggs was let go right around
March of 1996. He did come back recently for a few episodes playing a
magician or something (I hover around the DOOL newsgroup but don't watch the
show).

Simon Rex, ex-MTV veejay and star of Jack and Jill, has a porn past. He's
addressed it in TV Guide (last year). Claims he did it because he and his
girlfriend (who was doing porn at the time) were broke and needed cash. She
convinced him to do porn (why not straight porn at the very least?) and he
did 3 videos whose names escape me. Rex is an idiot. Assuming his story is
true, what self respecting woman is going to want her man back after he's
done gay porn flicks? Anyway, she ended up leaving him not long after that
and he went on to model for Tommy Hilfiger probably never expecting to
become a minor or recognizable star. He did, and not long afterwards, his
porn past caught up with him. Though it didn't cost him a job with MTV, he
did a lose a job on a never filmed WB show called Zoe Bean. The producers
of that show rallied for Rex at the highest levels, but because the show was
being produced by Disney, Disney felt Rex's porn past would damage the
shows image (of course it was okay for Tim Allen to have done hard time for
cocaine and the director of POWDER to have been a child molestor, but I
digress).. The producers kept him in mind for a different show and now he's
on JACK AND JILL.

He didn't. He did J/O videos. He never had a partner, at least in the two I
have. In one of them he jerks off in front of a TV, on which porn is showing,
but I think what he's watching is solo, also.

A bit part called Jude St.Claire. He looked like Basil St.John from the old
Brenda Starr comic strips with the eye patch and everything (Timothy Dalton,
the 4th James Bond), actually played Basil in a straight to video release
of Brenda Starr opposite Brooke Sheilds. Come to think of it, maybe that's
who the DOOL producers were basing St.Claire on. To be honest, I don't have
dates, titles or anything specific about his, um, body of work before he
came on to DrOOL. At the time I began hearing this, I had just joined the
DOOL newsgroup. I hate the show. Always have. Don't ask.

He may not have had a partner, but they are aimed, marketed, produced, sold,
whatever to the gay consumer. Plus there had to be a cameraman and director
so he was doing what he did in the presence of other men presumeably.

I saw a jerk off movie at a party once and the cameraman (or maybe someother
guy) was telling the guy how to stroke it, expose his anus, etc.... So yes it
definitely is GAY in nature.

Not the first time this has happened. In the late 1970's an actor
named Denis Parker who appeared on "The Edge of Night" (I believe)
also had a porn career (he appeared in the classic "Barbara Broadcast"
and, I've heard, gay films as well) under the name Wade Nichols.

He committed suicide in the 1980's, reportedly after learning he had
the AIDS virus.

He's adorable, well-hung and he's got great rhythm. He also really seemed to
be enjoying himself. I'd rather watch his solo work than just about any other
porno I own.

True, but women can operate cameras, too, and the also buy and view porn.

There was a story. What there wasn't, however, was truth. He posed for a
picture as a model. Generic, and fully clothed.

That photograph was sold to the guide for their cover.

That may be false but some say that Matt and his so called "Best Friend" were
lovers before he died. Matt was pretty much devasted when his "friend" was
killed in a motorcycle accident.

That would be the very yummy Joel Crothers, also from "Dark Shadows" and
"Somerset." Sigh. I had a crush on him for years.

You're mixing up the two studly dark-haired men with moustaches that
used to grace "Edge Of Night" - Dennis Parker, who played Chief of
Police Derek Mallory, was indeed the one who did some gay and straight
porn around the same time he was working on EON, and who also had a
pretty big disco hit for Casablanca Records called "Like An Eagle."
Joel Crothers played Dr. Miles Cavanaugh, a sometimes friend and
sometimes romantic rival of Derek Mallory's.

On the "Edge Of Night" page's "Memoriam" page (found at
http://lavender.fortunecity.com//casino/403/morte.html ), Joel
Crothers is listed as having passed away in November, 1985, from
Lymphatic Cancer. Dennis Parker is listed as having died in January,
1985, of AIDS-related illness. No mention is made of either of them
taking their own life, although I do remember hearing rumors about
Dennis Parker's death at the time. Eerily, two other of my favorites
of that series also are listed as having died of AIDS-related illness
- Christopher Jarrett, who played Detective Damien Tyler, and Irving
Allen Lee, who played Detective Calvin Stoner.


G7 - Who was mistaken for Dennis Parker more than once
and took it as a huge compliment.

I'm sure Ron Jeremy does his thing in front of other men too, but that
hardly makes him a gay porn star. And thank god for that.

How does one even know where to go to do such a thing as Rex did? Why did
his girlfriend pressure him to do gay porn? Why not just do straight porn? I
mean, after all, she was doing porn to so it wasn't as if she was being
faithful to him.
And how did Ron Jeremy manage to get into this business. I thought they had
standards.

He's too pretty for straight porn. He would have ended up doing kink films as a
transvestite if he'd done straight porn. In gay porn he would have been a
star.

Back when he started the standards were a lot lower. How he managed to *stay*

You're right! 20-30 years ago he wasn't all that bad. And his

One of Tony's (Jeff's) prominent roles was in "Iron Man," done in 1990. Lots
of hardhats, two by fours, tool belts, and <ahem> drills.

Dahling, he was adorable! I think he stayed in the business by getting into
directing/producing and, in straight porn what the *women* look like is the
issue, the men just have to, um, function.
