COLT Men Carlo Masi and Adam Champ get memorialized - or at least their male anatomy does... Here's a story in Italian and in English on Carlo's recent interview with Gay.it (Second story on the front page even) about their experience.

Venerable gentleman of the porn industry, Jerry Douglas, recently had the pleasure of completing his latest XXX masterpiece for COLT's Buckshot division, Brotherhood. It's the story of a frat boy facing blackmail after a brother discovers his secret - he's been making porn! While the film would have got plenty of attention all by itself, it achieved notoriety of a different kind when its star, Danny Roddick, died the very same week the movie was released. As accusations began to fly, we chatted with Jerry himself about making the film, and the joys and sorrows that came with it.

WR: What was it about this story and this setting that appealed to you?
JD: I've known several adult film stars who've paid their way through college by making fuck films, and I thought that was an interesting idea. I was in a fraternity in college, and while I never once saw anything that even came close to being homosexual, I rarely saw anything that wasn't homoerotic. It's a group of young men in their randiest years, living in a hothouse environment. They have pretty much free rein--nudity, communal showers, talking about sex at all times. It's very unlikely that in a real fraternity, these things would have happened quite this easily, but on the other hand you suspend disbelief when you make pornography. The best pornography, I think, is just one step beyond reality, and that's what I tried to do in this.

I believe you had problems getting this movie going?
It was originally supposed to be filmed last November. The big problem was finding a house that served all the script's needs, because the fraternity house itself figures very prominently in the action. We found one in Los Angeles, but it was prohibitive for a lot of reasons, so that fell through. The one we used, while I think it works very well, was not ideal for what I'd had in mind

Brotherhood makes it clearer than ever that plot and character are just as important to you as sex.
Oh, very much so. I think I got some good characterizations out of this one, and the kids responded to it very well. Many of them were not accustomed to thinking of themselves as actors. They were much more accustomed to thinking of themselves as... objects. I often say to an actor, "Do you know why you're having sex in this scene?" And that would often throw them. "I'm having sex because told me to." So that's when I give my long speech--there are a million different reasons why we fuck, so I always wanted them to realize why they were doing it, or why their character is anyway.

If these boys aren't experienced actors, and you're pushing them into areas they're not used to, then they must get a sense of accomplishment out of that.
Oh yes, oh yes. Over and over again the kids would come to me and say, "You made me go places I never went before." I think everybody wants to be an actor. Everybody who's in adult films has obviously the same sort of impulses that an actor does, and suddenly they find it opening doors for them.

There was a fun story you told on the commentary about inviting three of the boys to your room.
We had hoped to do a double penetration, and I had tried before with no success. So I wanted to rehearse the positioning, fully clothed I might add, so that when we got on the set we'd have an easier time. The three of them by this time knew each other very well, and they were very comfortable with each other. But it was weird to be in the middle of these bodies, and I would show them the positions I wanted. I don't fuck around with my models, I never have, and they know that, so it was funny, we all giggled a lot about it. But we got to the set and realized it wasn't going to work the way we planned and had to change it drastically, so ultimately it was all for nothing. But it was very pleasant evening.

How did you go about matching actors with these complex characters you wrote?
Well, I don't know the answer to that. I just do it till it feels right, or until I run out of time. Danny Roddick had originally been planned for a smaller role, but when this lead role became available I wanted him for it.

What was your favorite part of working on the production?
The greatest joys are when the actors and you are in the same car and you're going in the same direction, and all you have to do is just coax them along. I suppose the scene we filmed that pleased me the most was the scene between Jan Fischer and Danny. Particularly when we got into the editing room and turned it into a Revlon commercial, slow motion, double exposures, stuff like that. I thought that was very romantic.

It's nice that it was an oral-only scene, and yet it still had the intensity behind it.
Well, that was for simply financial reasons. It's cheaper to do an oral than a full scene. But also you want to save something for the finale, and that's where the fucking begins.

How was Danny Roddick to work with as your lead character?
Danny was not accustomed to being an actor. He was accustomed to being a sex object. He had no background as an actor, he had never taken an acting class, he had never had to learn lines, he had never had to tap his inner resources to create a character--he had none of those tools. It took him a while to realize that he was not being Danny Roddick and he was not being his real-life self either, he was being "Chandler," and that "Chandler" was someone that he wasn't. I'm very happy with the result, but it was not an instant transformation. We talked a great deal at the beginning, and I told him that there are six different seductions in that film, and a smart seducer knows his prey and has to seduce him in a different way than he would another person. And so I was very pleased at the way he managed to maintain a core character but tuned himself to each situation.

Obviously with recent events, this film takes on a particular poignancy now.
It does indeed. That shot of Danny looking up at the Greek letters on the front of the house, I just got chills when I saw it again. He looks so innocent and vulnerable and fragile, and he was all those things or this wouldn't have happened.

Can you give us any insight into what happened to Danny?
Danny was a young man from a small town who was suddenly thrust into the fast lane, and like so many people he was bedazzled by it, and sometimes it clouded his sense of self. I do not wish to be and never have been a judge of my actors' personal lives. I'm not terribly interested in what they do before or after they come to my set, as long as they are there to work and help me create my vision. And Danny was a joy to work with in many ways. He was eager, he was enthusiastic, he tried his damnedest. He was not prepared for the acting demands of the role, but he got them. It was just that it took him longer, because he had some territory to cover to get there.

Do you think the porn industry has to take responsibility for the health and welfare of its stars?
I certainly don't, any more than I think that the motion picture industry is responsible for all the thousands of people who come to California to become movie stars, or the thousands of high-schoolers who buy guitars to become rock stars. This is what the person has chosen to do with his life. And it's not as if Danny were a child, he was 31 years old. For me, this industry is both a business and an art, and I expect to work with people who are artistically responsible and business-wise feasible. That's what growing up is all about.

This is my problem with this whole damn controversy, which I think is being fueled for all the wrong reasons by all the wrong people. With very very few exceptions, and those are extremely peripheral, nobody forces anyone into this industry. The kids come to it eagerly and willingly, in almost all cases. A kid goes out on tour with a rock band and is introduced to a lot of things in the fast lane that he didn't get in Podunk. This is the same in all areas of the entertainment industry, and porn is only one small division of the entertainment industry. You don't have to be a porn star or a rock star to brush shoulders with cocaine, or X, K or any of those other things. It happens on Wall Street, it happens in seminaries, in all aspects of life these days. So to single out the porn industry to blame for kids yielding to the temptations that are all around them is bullshit.

My connection with a performer is from the moment he walks onto my set to the moment he leaves it. I am not his babysitter, I am not his keeper. I am not working with children, and if they are 31-year-old children, that is not my problem. That sounds awfully cold-hearted, because I do care about these kids, and I do spend time with them off the set, and I try to serve as a mentor and a role model and a shoulder to cry on. But ultimately it's their own responsibility to look after their own lives.

Why do you think 2007 has been such a bad year for gay porn--deaths, gruesome murders, people in and out of jail?
Listen, there has not been a year as long as I've been in this industry, and I've been in it since 1972, that there wasn't this sort of thing happening. Are we forgetting the stir that Joey Stefano's death made? These things happen. Look at the music industry and how many people died in the fast lane. Kurt Cobain, Janice Joplin, River Phoenix. It's nonsense to say it doesn't happen.

What will be your next project after this?
Well, Ryan Idol and I are working on a one-man show for off-Broadway right now. He has a small role in the revival of The Ritz, and when that's done we'll settle down and do this show. We made a film together called Trade Off in 1992, and we've stayed in touch with each other over the years.

What about the next porn film?
I sometimes wonder at this stage of the game if I'll ever make another adult film. My kind of film is becoming less and less interesting to audiences because of all the free stuff that's on the web. My films cost money, and it doesn't cost anything to put a kid in front of a roll of paper and have him jack off. Why spend so much money on a movie when they can sit in front of their computer and be done in 15 minutes? It also has a lot to do with the MTV generation, the short attention spans.

You reach a certain age and people think that you are outmoded and old-hat. Every time I make a movie I think, "This will probably be my last," because I'm becoming a dinosaur. But you never know! The old firehorse hears the bell and he goes running. Billy Wilder didn't make a film the last 15 years of his life. He said, "You live long enough, and they'll give you every award in the book, but they won't let you make a movie." And you know, sometimes I feel like that.

Brotherhood (Buckshot Studio) is available now from COLTstudiostore.com. Read our review here. Proceeds from all Danny Roddick films will go to LGBT counseling provider NewLeafServices.org.

The boys over at Fleshbot.com have recently reviewed our all-new COLTstudiogroup.com and here is what they have to say...

You'd think having an entire stable of some of the most physically perfect men in porn would be enough to draw the monthly dues-paying multitudes to COLT's membership site even if it sported nothing but a bunch of broken graphics and a circa-1996 web layout. But John Rutherford and company have never been ones to rest on their well-muscled laurels and they've just unveiled a new version of COLTstudiogroup.com as a worthy venue for all the hot manflesh that's their main stock in trade (READ MORE...).

Hi guys,

Everyone here at COLT Studio Group wants to thank each and every one of you for posting about the sudden loss of Danny Roddick. We are all very sad and miss him dearly.

In regard to how Danny passed away, the answer is we just don't know for sure. We have not been contacted by his family or a reliable source and since we found out from a phone call last Friday from his previous workplace.

We have been kept in the dark as well and have decided not to push the issue since right now it is most important that we all grieve in our own way. As many of you know, dealing with death is subjective and each of us handle it very differently. It is most important that we wish everyone who knew him and appreciated him the space to grieve in their own way and not to disgrace or angrily point fingers.

As a company, COLT Studio Group and its COLT team here are a tight family and Danny was a part of our family. The entire COLT team unanimously decided to donate a portion of the proceeds of the profit from all of all of Danny's DVDs to the non-profit organization New Leaf.

The New Leaf Organization which is a not for profit counseling center for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area.

The organization provides services to middle and low-income individuals and families who cannot afford private therapy or support services, and has been doing so for the past three decades.

New Leaf is the only comprehensive mental health, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and social support organization in San Francisco geared specifically for the LGBT communities.

This extremely important organization for the LGBT Community lends counseling and support to people in trouble and we are very proud to support their organization on Danny's behalf.

Here is a list of the movies that will donate money from:

To bring in some good news after such bad news about our friend Danny, I just received these wonderful emails both from COLT Men Adam Champ and Luke Garrett...

Adam says this about his experience last night at the Nob Hill Theatre with COLT Man Carlo Masi:

Today was a very special day for me. Today was my appearance at the Nob hill Theatre. As you know I started performing there before joining COLT. I was nervous and excited at the same time. Many emotions and memories came back to me. However, I was remembering my first time on stage - I was terribly scared. But this time I was performing like a COLT superstar; it really was an indescribable sensation. Many things have changed at the theatre, but what didn't change, was the love people always give to me when I represent COLT.

Thank you and all the COLT family for making feel this way.

Big kiss,

Adam AdamChamp.com

And this one from COLT Man Luke Garrett who expresses himself so eloquently in writing:

I am so very, very sorry. It breaks my heart to hear about this for so many reasons. But standing above all that sadness is the overwhelming comfort, the consistent, dependable, unshakable trust that you, John Rutherford, honestly and genuinely care so much about all of us. On top of giving us all this amazing opportunity to shine like rock stars, you accept us with all our baggage and love us anyway. I can't imagine the greif you must feel knowing Danny is gone, but I hope you know how much you mean to all of us - that, no matter what pain assails us, our lives are better because of you.

Thank you, John. I'm thinking of you and Tom, Kristofer and Kim, and everyone in the COLT family. You're in my heart, the best part of me.

With love,

Luke LukeGarrettXXX.com

OK - who wouldn't pinch themselves after receiving such wonderful emails from such wonderful men? With the passing of Danny, as so many friends I've lost before - I have some out always to realize that there is one thing positive that comes out of the loss of a loved one and that is... LOVE THE LIVING. With every passing of a friend it makes us realize that we must appreciate who is here next to us.

Be well,

JR

San Francisco, California, September 14, 2007 - COLT Studio Group announced today that it has learned that Buckshot Man and good friend, Danny Roddick passed away on September 13, 2007. "We are devastated and saddened by this tragedy," said President and Creative Director John Rutherford. "We have watched Danny grow up and everyonehere at COLT Studio Group extends our most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. He will be missed."

Danny joined the COLT Studio Group as a Buckshot exclusive performer in 2005. He immediately gained a following with memorable performances in Buckshot's 'HARD Studies,' 'Boot Black Blues', 'BIG RIG: Extended Cab Edition,' and Olympus' 'HOSTILE.' Director Kristofer Weston said, "He was one of the most caring and sensitive people I've ever had the privilege of working with on set. A truly beautiful man inside and out and I'm honored to have called him a friend."

Danny most recently appeared in the Buckshot release and director Jerry Douglas feature 'BROTHERHOOD'. "The loss of anyone so young and talented and especially a sweet and fragile individual is heartbreaking, but for someone who was rapidly approaching the peak of his career it is doubly painful," said Jerry Douglas.

In addition to his film work with the studio, Danny has made numerous appearances, including most recently at the Chicago GRABBY Awards as a Trophy Boy. His work ethic, positive attitude and energy will be sorely missed.

Most recently, Danny had appeared in Director Dennis Bell's AMG Brazil 2-part feature 'AMAZONIA: Capture & Release' set to release at the end of September. "I had the pleasure of working with Danny recently and will miss him greatly" commented Dennis Bell.

Danny's complete videography includes:

AMAZONIA: Capture & Release - AMG Brazil

BROTHERHOOD by Buckshot...

Rock Hard, the prolific composer of hundreds of scores for all-male adult films, has just completed the musical score for the next Buckshot feature, BROTHERHOOD, written and directed by multi-award winning Jerry Douglas, and this week the music is being laid in to the soundtrack in order to meet the deadline for the production's August 15th release date. The big-budget production, which takes place during one long night at a fraternity house, stars Buckshot Man Danny Roddick as a popular member of the brotherhood who has been working his way through college making adult films.

Rock Hard has written the score for every one of Douglas's films since the 1993 Honorable Discharge, including the award-winning score for the 2004 Buckshot blockbuster, BuckleRoos, which he co-composed with Nicholas Pavkovic.

"Brotherhood has a college theme, and Jerry suggested that the score might be built on college fight songs and rearranged as sex music," the noted composer said. "You know, take the basic melody and build from there. That's what we did with a series of patriotic songs in Honorable Discharge, and that seemed to work, so we thought we'd experiment with the same approach, this time using songs familiar to anybody who's watched the half-time ceremonies at a football game."

The six sex scenes that comprise the two-and-a-half hour production all take place in various rooms of the lavishly appointed fraternity house, and all are instigated by Roddick: a circle jerk in the living room, a body shaving scene in the upstairs library, a self-suck scene on the dining room table, a three-way on a staircase, a love scene in one of the bedrooms, and a touch football game that turns into the finale orgy.

"One of the first things I have to think about," explained the composer, "is deciding what instrumental ensemble I will use and which ones will be my thematic instruments. Here, I chose the trumpet to suggest a college marching band. After all, sex play and athletic contests have a lot in common!"

The eleven-man cast, including Roddick, features Buckshot Man Dean Phoenix as an over endowed redneck, Jan Fischer as a foreign exchange student, Kevin Armstrong as the president of the fraternity, Trey Casteel as a blue-blooded legacy, Sebastian Rivers as a football star, Tory Mason as the campus sex hound, Jorden Michaels as a theological student, Justin Burkshire and Kurt Wilde as a pair of brothers, and Dallas Reeves as a closeted pledge. From a musical point of view, each of their scenes is scored differently, but the flavor of traditional campus life is captured melodically throughout the film.

"I have been scoring films for Jerry since the early nineties," concluded Rock Hard, "and it's always been a dream. Jerry's films are always challenging. He is so creative, and he knows how to deliver entertaining, thought-provoking - not to mention sexy - films. BROTHERHOOD is no exception. It's a winner!"

COLT Studio is a name to be reckoned with. For a start it has been in operation for 40 + years or so producing all male erotica since 1967. If you haven't grown up with COLT then you've had your eyes closed. You can have them opened now as we take a quick look at what is available in their very swish and stylish website.

Working down the main menu from the home page we come first to the COLT men. These guys are selected because of their looks, their bodies and their dicks. I remember COLT men as being thirty-something hunks and that's a fair description of many of the guys here but, using the neat search engine, you can find guys by hair colour, dick size, height and several other options too. The ' Men' page will introduce you to the new guys on the site as well as let you into each model's galleries, streaming movies, pay per view movies and any other content they appear in.

The photos, as you would expect from a world leader in gay porn, are excellent quality and it almost goes without saying that there is nothing disappointing about the guys, the locations, poses or image sets at all. You can also access the photo galleries from the next link on the menu. Here they are arranged in genres for you with, for example, muscle pics, action sets and guys in leather. There is also a great collection of erotic drawings by Rip Colt who draws with a naturalistic style in black and white that is reminiscent of Tom of Finland.

The Live Men area of COLT leads you to some award winning live feeds. Click either the COLT Men or the Buckshot men feed and you'll get information about who is appearing and when they will be on line; you also have their face pics and stats too.

The times are up in Pacific Standard Time (PST) so check your time zone and prepare for a hard and horny time. And, if you have to wait for the live show, you can always view the archives of previous shows. These play in Flash and you'll need your login details to view them.

And talking of viewing things, we're now on to the movies area of the site. That main menu has stayed with us by the way so getting around the site is really easy and quick. The New Movies area shows you what's just been released and who is in it; there is a description and the run time. Each one comes with a trailer that plays at various speeds, from 56k upwards. The Cinema area of the site brings you a selection of titles, all featuring heavenly hunks of course. There is a search engine where you can filter the studios, COLT, Buckshot or Olympus as well as the theme of the movies - which are mainly muscles and leather of course. There were over 50 full length movies to view and all you need to do is decide which one and then click. There are stills from the show, you can order the hard copy on DVD or simply click to start the stream. You can select your most suitable connection speed and Flash will run as soon as the movie has buffered.

Make sure you also check out the other features at the site: The blog, the store and the other exclusives. Just like everything on the site these areas are technically perfect, easy to use and feature the heart melting hard bodied studs that COLT is famous for.

Bottom Line: What can I say? Can't fault it really. For hard and studly guys in hard-core and erotic action then COLT is the number one. Years of experience lie behind this top class site that features top class porn stars.
