Casting was one of my favorite parts of making a film. I pressed a switch on the intercom.
"Show Mr. Stockton in, Nancy."
My assistant opened the eight-foot high mahogany door to my office, and the flesh and blood rendition of the photograph walked in. He was dressed quite a bit differently: worn jeans, dark grey shirt, cream-colored blazer, and oxford shoes. It worked for him in a distinctly Hollywood way. Elsewhere? I'm not so sure. I stood up and shook hands, indicating that he should take a seat.
“So Rafe," I opened, "What do you think of the part?"
"It's challenging and much bigger than anything I've ever done. I appreciate the chance to audition, Mr. Rosenberg. I'm sure I can handle it."
"Ben," I said, "Call me Ben. I'm not offering you the part yet. I know you understand that. But I'm very hopeful. Give me your impression of the character. Tell me what you think makes him tick. The stuff that's not in the script."
"Well, Ben," the boy stammered, "he's tough as nails on the outside but he's got big issues that he hides from everyone around him. What you see is not what you get. No. That's not right. What the other characters see is not what they get. The audience must see it, though. When he rapes the hero's wife, it's not out of lust for her. It's payback time. He's raping the hero himself."
"So he's gay?" I ask with well-feigned incredulity.
"No," Rafe answered. "Not in the conventional sense. It's a power fuck. He's getting payback for all the years of failed dreams while the hero prospered. Like a prison fuck. The—pardon the phrase--cumming is not the most important part. What really matters is who is on top."
"But what about that as a subtext?" I broached. "Unrequited homosexual feelings."
"It's been done too many times before," he said. "Any sophisticated audience will resent such an obvious twist."
"But what if it isn't obvious," I replied. "What if the audience walks out unsure about the relationship."
"That's a challenge. The actor would have to walk a fine line. If the audience is to be genuinely confused, the character would have to be as well. That might work. Is he gay? Does he admit it. Does he even know it?"
Geez, this was like shooting fish in a barrel. "Are you, Rafe?" I asked.
"Am I what?"
"Gay," I said bluntly. "The performance you outline would seem to require a gay actor. Or one who has confronted the same personal ambiguities as the character himself. Are you?"
"Well," he replied. "An actor doesn't have to be a serial killer to play one."
"But he has to find within himself those dark impulses that, if indulged, lead to the moral and psychological descent implied in the script. And you haven't answered my question. Are you gay?"
"No," he looked down. "I'm not." This didn't mean anything. No young actor with leading man aspirations could answer otherwise. "But they claim that everyone lies somewhere on a gay-straight continuum. That's where the insight would come from."
"We're not talking about 'everyone' here, Rafe." I stared hard at him. "We're talking about you and whether you have the experience and resources to play the part. Frankly, I had you 90% pegged for the part when you came in, but you just changed my conception of the character. You might be too damn straight to pull it off."
Rafe looked at me for a few seconds then stood up. He doffed his jacket and undid the top three button of his shirt. He sat languidly on the arm of a chair and crossed his legs at the ankles. He bent his head down and looked up at me through raised eyes like a young Lauren Bacall. I suppressed a laugh and walked over to him.
"I expect a performance from my actors," I announced, "not an impersonation." I put my hand on his exposed chest, reached in and cupped his tit. "Will you perform for me?"
I looked at him straight in the eye (so to speak), and he realized what he had to do. Dropping to his knees, he massaged my hard cock through my pants and began undoing my belt. Out sprang my 8 inch cut cock. He raised his eyes and I nodded. Swallowing first he took the bulbous head into his mouth. After a minute or so of tonguing, he took me in smoothly until his nose was buried into my graying bush. He'd done this before and he was really good at it. I toyed with the idea of letting him finish me with his sweet mouth, but I reminded myself what he was here for.
"Get you clothes off and get down on the floor," I ordered. "On your knees and elbows."
Rafe hesitated.
"Can't you take direction, boy?"
Rafe stripped slowly. His chest was broad and hairless; his pecs, two marble slabs. He sported a thick uncut cock about 6" in its present not quite flaccid state. He knelt on the carpet, his hard glutes raised in the air. Damn, they were fine. One way or another, I was going to get these on film. I turned him slightly to the right, so the hidden camera would have a good angle.
"I'm going to show you what a power rape really is, Rafe." I announced. "Pay attention. The character you're up for is going to do to the wife what I am about to do to you." The problem in the back of my mind was how to make it clear to the audience that she was getting ass fucked while still keeping an R rating.
I pulled a condom from my pocket and slipped it over my cock. Kneeling behind him, I positioned the tip of my cock against his rosette. The condom was lubricated; Rafe wasn't. I pushed, but he resisted so I grabbed him by the hair and pulled his head back as far as it would go.
"Open up for me bitch," I hissed, " or you won't be able to walk normally for a week." That was it! I couldn't explicitly show him entering her ass, but I could make it clear with the right dialog. I pushed as hard as I could and I burst through. In one motion, I was buried to the hilt.
Rafe screamed loudly. It was perfect. I would play the audio for Annette so she could mimic it on film. I did not pause, but began pounding the young man with deep long strokes. He whimpered all the while. Normally, I would massage a guy's cock while doing this, but this particular fuck demanded something else. No indication on my part that he mattered in any way. I reached around and grabbed his pecks, digging my nails into the flesh. That would work in the film, too: a quick shot of him manhandling her tits while he did his thing. Annette would insist on a body double, but that'd be easy to work in.
I pounded him for about ten minutes. I released his tits so I could kneel upright and see what I was doing. I love the sight of my cock going in and out of a man's ass. After a while, he reached down and began stroking himself. He stopped whimpering and began to pant loudly.
"Stop it! Goddamn it!" I said. "I don't want you to come. This is not about you." I put my hands around his throat and cut off his wind. As I continued to pound, I felt him surge beneath me. Spurt after spurt hit the expensive carpet. I came with a rush then as well. I kept pounding him until I was completely drained. When I was finished, he was passed out on the floor. I pulled out and got a glass of water from the bathroom and tossed it in his face. He sputtered and began to pick himself up. I sat down in the chair he had been using.
"Clean up your cum, while you're down there," I ordered. "That's expensive carpeting." He looked around helplessly, looking for something to use. "Use your tongue, Rafe." He began licking the spots off the carpet, doing, I thought, a rather good job. "Now me, Rafe." He knelt in front of me and peeled back the condom. He tongued my cock clean of my own jism. I took the condom from him, tied it in a knot. I watched while Rafe dressed. He did it slowly and seductively as a reverse strip tease. When he was done, he came over to my chair, sat down on my lap and kissed me on the lips.
"Did I earn the part, Ben?" he cooed.
"What you earned, Rafe, is a screen test, Rafe," I stood up, dumping him on the floor, walked over to my desk and punched the intercom. "Nancy, set up a screen test for Mr. Stockton. Thursday at 7:45AM. Makeup at 6. Feltz will direct. Get that contract player, uh, Kathleen Drew, to play opposite him."
I turned to Rafe. "Learn pages 24 through 27 and 46 through 49 of the script. Cold. Be at Makeup at 6 AM. Marty Feltz, my second unit director, will handle the shoot." I shot him a hard look. "If you get the part, I will expect you to cooperate with me in developing the character. Fully cooperate. Is that understood."
"I understand, Ben." He walked over to me with his lips parted, expecting to kiss. Instead, I bent down and began putting on my pants.
"Nancy will give you a gate pass for Thursday," I said dismissively. "And Rafe?"
"Yes?"
"Call me Mr. Rosenberg."
I watched him leave in confusion. I finished dressing and picked up another folder. I flipped through until I found the clipping I liked. It was a full page Calvin Klein ad from the Sunday New York Times Magazine. The model was dark and shirtless, his chest much more muscled than Rafe's and hairy, his face unshaven. His eyes burned as though trying to melt the lens. I asked Nancy to send him in. He was even more impressive in person. We went through the usual preliminaries and then ….
"Call me Ben," I said. "Understand, I'm not offering you the part yet, Tony, but I feel really good about it. Tell me what you think makes the character tick; the stuff that's not in the script."
I watched him intently as he began to speak. His voice was smooth and deep. God, how I love casting!
I lay on my bed in my black satin bikini briefs as my roommate, Mark, entered the room, fresh from his shower, towel around the waist. He turned his back to me as he dropped his towel and dried his crotch. I savored his near heroic form: powerful shoulders tapering to a slim waist, muscular legs joined to the waist by magnificent glutes. He quickly donned a pair of boxers from his top
I reviewed the publicity still in front of me. It showed a young athletic man in a tiny swimsuit. He had clearly spent considerable gym time sculpting his body. It was finely muscled, but not bulky. His hair was dirty blond. The swimsuit bulged provocatively in front. The figure was turned slightly to the left, showing the protuberance of a bubble butt jutting out from behind. The suit was
In order to get my new job, I had to let my boss fuck me. Me--a red-blooded married guy with two kids! He was an old high school acquaintance whom I had treated badly. Now he was a rich Adonis with a serious attitude and a serious load of money. Turned out he had the ‘hots’ for me ten years ago, but I never knew it. He presented me with his fat, long dick during my interview. I took it up
I plowed into my new job with zeal, so to speak. Sure, it was tough coming to terms with the fact that I was the CEO's fuck toy. My wife wasn't complaining, particularly after we found out that he had backdated my hire to the beginning of the month, about 20 days of additional salary. She visited my new workplace and Steve Marks laid on the charm. She thought he was the best thing since
I called Danny Yamoto over the weekend to offer him the job as a contract programmer in my new group. Danny was an ace. Fast, accurate and imaginative. I needed him to straighten out some critical code in a lagging project and to provide a role model in the dysfunctional group I was handed. If I was lucky, he might also distract my boss and get him--quite literally--off my ass. My boss had
MGW2 He paged through my resume again and looked up, "I don't really think that there is a match here, Mr. Walker. We're looking for someone with more systems experience and a more consistent employment record." I was interviewing with the president of a hot computer apps firm, one of the minority that had survived the dotcom bust stronger than ever. More than survived, it had grown. I
MGW2 “Stop by the hotel about 11 PM. We can compare notes then.” Sam Spade watched Brigid O'Shaugnessy walk out of his office. The thin fabric of her skirt revealed the jiggles of her voluptuous ass. Spade was strangely unmoved at the sight. “Trouble,” he thought. “This dame’s trouble. Hell. All dames are trouble. Best to swear off them.” Spade had not been lucky with women.
The doorbell rang at about 5:30 AM and I answered. A tall, dark, very young man with piercing brown eyes and an angular face with a strong nose stood at the door. He wore a tight thin tee shirt that strained against two prominent nipples mounted on muscular chest covering a large ribcage. This tapered down to a narrow waist and slim hips that barely supported a pair of beltless jeans. His
My Fucking Kid! I came back from my run sweating profusely and steaming inside. Damn that kid. He was so fucking headstrong! I heard a grunt from the basement and headed downstairs. There was Danny, sitting back on the bench doing leg presses. His thick muscular thighs filled the leg openings of his thin workout shorts. Large corded calves pushed his feet against the leg plate and
I peeked over the top of my biology text as my roommate Mark toweled himself down. He was about 6 foot 2 with brown hair, hazel eyes and a body to die for. For a few seconds, he rubbed his massive chest and the towel draped down covering his crotch. Then his used it to dry the area between his balls and his thighs. He turned and regarded himself in the mirror as he forced the terry into the
I swallowed the last of my eighth drink of the night and contemplated another. It was about 12:30 in the morning and I was dead tired. I decided that I had waited long enough. I paid my tab and decided to walk the four blocks home rather than risk a drunken driving charge. I had been fired--well, “laid off”--about half way through my shift. Business at Lumo’s had been falling for months, and
I was summoned into his office at about the prescribed time. I passed some dirty blonde twink with a shit-eating grin on his way out of the office. Clearly, I had my work cut out for me. I had modeled for two years, but this was my first big opportunity in Hollywood. I had done my homework and I was determined to make this meeting count. Rosenberg welcomed me effusively but didn't rise
MGW2 (Also MGW) The bell rang insistently and I opened the front door to reveal two young men in their late teens or early twenties, one a slim but broad shouldered dirty blonde and the other, seemingly older, a more substantial, muscular brunette sporting a heavy five o’clock shadow. “Hi, Mr. Acuff,” the older one said. “We have a proposition for you.” I put the obvious response out of
I squirmed in my chair as I emailed the last corrections to a Maxim article that was nearly past deadline. Frankly, my ass still hurt. Since my rough encounter yesterday with my hot college-age neighbor, Kevin, I had been walking around in that lopey John Wayne way. (Maybe his ass hurt, too.) Not that I was complaining, mind you. If plowing me was the kind of tip Kevin was expecting for mowing
Visiting Uncle Mark MGW2 My parents went to Antigua for a week during Spring Break in my senior year of high school. They were pretty controlling and packed me off to my Uncle Mark's while they were gone. Normally, I'd have made a stink about being old enough to stay home alone, but the thought of a week with my hot young uncle changed my mind. He was my mother's "baby" brother, about 31
