Mickey's Quickies

A Peek Inside Adult Video with Mickey Skee

There's a new guy in town and he's making heads turn. German stud Nick Mazzaro is a hulking, massive sexy guy who loves to dress in uniforms. Every major company is snatching him up over the next two months while he's in town. He's paired with Ben Campezi and Alex Suerte in a three-way for Sex-Cess directed by legendary John Travis for Studio 2000; he's doing a major Colt feature in the Arizona desert in April; he's working for both Doug Jeffries and Chad Donovan in new videos; and he's doing a series of Live and Raw live cam scenes with dildos and slow j.o.'s, with Chi Chi LaRue directing it all herself! Then, LaRue's sticking him in a hot fantasy sequence for a Channel 1 Releasing feature, and Nick is one of two cops who abuse a young criminal.

As a side note, Mazzaro was himself "taken in" by cops shortly after he touched down in L.A. last week, for a traffic violation. In a scene that would have incensed anyone else, he was interrogated by the curious macho officers. The über-nice Mazzaro was given the all-clear after a series of tests, but he was disappointed they didn't do a strip search. And so, his strip will have to be at the Faultline on March 11 at the Jimmy Z Productions Muscle Show. You can find out more about him at www.nickmazarro.com.

Nick's not known yet, but he will be after Falcon's Trapped makes the rounds and Hands Solo's Rim With A View Part 2 from Not Into Bush Productions. In that one, the stud performs in his authentic cop outfit and catches a burglar (played by Mark Slade) who trips an alarm in order to purposefully snag Nick and show him the chair. It's going to be a scene that will have butts puckering.

On a sad note, the wonderfully funny and bratty Johnny Rey died of testicular cancer of all things in January. I knew Rey from his very beginnings in the adult industry, and he always said he wanted to come in and be "the Madonna of gay porn" and really shake up the business. He did in a lot of ways. He brought a lot of flamboyance to it, riding in on a horse at the second Gay Video Guide Awards at the TomKat Theatre, and starting his own modeling company as well as production company. He won his Best Actor GayVN trophy for the first major gay porn musical, Romeo and Julian and he wanted very much to get respect as a director, but never broke out of the B-list movies he was known for, although he made some goofball classics like Pheromones the Smell of Sex and The Island of Dr. Porneaux which made him more the Ed Wood of porn rather than the Madonna.

Johnny Rey was one of the colorful characters of an era of the Porn Brat Pack that is long gone, but his flashes of Jayne Mansfield-like self promotion and over-the-top self indulgences can't help but bring a smile with those memories.

Mickey Skee has covered the adult entertainment industry since 1986, and his latest porn fiction book, F.U., was released by Alyson. Mickey Skee's F.U., Bad Boys, and Best of Gay Adult Video series are on Amazon.com.
