Gay porn stars in mainstream movies

[samhexum]

There have been a few famous examples over the years of porn stars 'crossing over' to act in mainstream movies, but I recently came across an even more ambitious endeavor...

In 2015 Antonio Biaggi co-starred in and co-produced Chasing Pavement, an 82 minute movie available on Prime.

He appears for about 10 minutes, starting at the 21 minute mark, then again at a dinner party later, then has one final scene after that. (I zipped through it.)

Here's a brief interview:

I have always found Antonio Biagio to be extremely hot. Of course I have only seen him in porn flics. It would be interesting to see how he acts in film that did not require him to take off his clothes. 
While I’m on the topic of Biagio, I have never seen him bottom in a porn video. Has anyone ever witnessed that?

He's not horrible.  But I'm only mildly surprised he wasn't nominated for an Oscar.

Let's just say there was no full-frontal.  After all, this was not an IMAX film.

Weren't there several porn actors in Ryan Murphy's "Hollywood" series? I would be curious how that came to be.

Tiger Orange

featured Johnny Hazzard, credited as Frankie Valenti. It’s okay. Not sure what his XX vids get into, but he seems like an avg go-go boy type.

Zak Spears and Rex Chandler had bit parts in Gregg Araki's "Doom Generation".

Perhaps the most successful (by which I mean in the most films/shorts) is Sean Paul Lockhart (aka Brent Corrigan).  Most memorable for me is his appearance in Another Gay Sequel, but he also had a brief appearance in Gus Van Sant's Milk.

He was also in Judas Kiss.  I can't recall how big his part was, but he was part of the cast on stage when the film was shown at the Seattle Queer Film Festival.
