To cut to the chase, he sent me a 'thank you" for my thought..and I just wanted
to let everyone know that he's out there lurking..
Hey Jamie, how about a few insights once in a while, eh?

You wouldn't be singing that tune if you, like me, watched him rape a
girl. Many years ago, (c. 1983) on the set of Centerfold Celebrities
Pt 2, I listened to him agree to not fuck an actress in the ass.
During the scene, I was the stage manager and was closer to the action
than even the cameramen. From a few feet away, I watched him fuck her
in the ass anyway. Her name was Brook somethingoranother. I held her
after the scene was over while she cried.
I felt like a shit then for not saying something, for not stopping
him. Brook and I met again a couple of years ago. She told me that she
didn't think she had the right to refuse him since she was being paid.
I apologized to her for not intervening. She said she never blamed me.

Andy, not a Gillis fan, even though he is the best actor in this
industry.

And is anyone really surprised that Gillis would be computer-literate? One of
his great appeals was (and is) the intelligence that came across in his
performances.
Now that we have all said such nice things about you, JG, how about posting
something? :-)

Interesting. He would be someone that I'd like to interview, or help
write an autobiography. Most porn performers realistically wouldn't have
the talent or perseverence to cross over into mainstream acting; it's not
a knock on the life, as such, it's just that porn performers are basically
highly specialized stunt people, and only a few stunt people ever make it
as actors. Gillis always seemed like a real actor who happened to like
doing porn; what happened to him? Why porno? Was it a financial thing
that got him blackballed from "legit" work when he got too well-known? Or
is he obsessed with the thrill of the life against his "better" judgement,
like Jerry Butler? He's an interesting case.

I understand they've been reissued under the Triple X Confidential
title by VCA but rumor has it that lots of the scenes have been
chopped. The usual poor editing job <heh, heh>.
