Returning To Mainstream With
David Forest
(Van Nuys, Calif., November 5, 2008) - Veteran adult talent manager,
DAVID FOREST, who recently sold his company and announced his departure from
XXX (after 27 years), is returning to
the mainstream show business world. 40 years ago, in the summer of 1968, Forest began as a rock
agent/manager/promoter but, moved into the adult business in 1981.
FOREST, who will turn 60 on
December 12, has opened FORESTCasting a service for
mainstream motion picture, television and internet companies who have a
specific project that requires frontal nudity and/or simulated gay sex. FOREST will assist the
producers/directors/casting people to find the male actors they need. Forest says, "the sources for male talent, who will want to audition for these specific parts
available, will be vast. Most fellows,
currently doing gay XXX work, simply dream about being in a mainstream motion
picture, TV show or internet project."
The
L.A. Times featured an article, yesterday, about porn stars
popping up, more and more, in mainstream projects. AND, with the increasing number of movies, TV
shows, etc. adding GAY SEX into their scripts/plots (to increase sales)...and...with frontal nudity and/or simulated gay sex being almost "taboo" for the
normal union actors, FOREST feels his service will be widely used. He will turn to the hundreds of guys doing
gay movies/internet when he has a casting assignment from a mainstream
company. The actors must be willing to
work under their REAL NAME. Doing
mainstream roles is permitted under the terms of most studios' "exclusive model" agreements.
Last week, for its debut,
FORESTCasting handled the booking of 2 popular gay stars for a mainstream
motion picture that had a scene
featuring gay guys partying in a hotel room. Frontal nudity and simulated sex were required of 2 guys (the ones
Forest cast). Both were non-union...but, due to the Taft
Hartley Act, a non-union actor can be hired 1 time (for a union project)...then, becomes eligible for union status the next time he works. The company, itself, cast 2 others that were
SAG actors...neither of which did nudity or any of the simulated sex.
