411 Lou Cass

[+ Axiom2001]

He's a handsome tatooed muscleman who has been at http://www.rentmen.com and http://www.rentboy.com. Has anyone been with him, and what was your experience like? I'm asking because I think he might be "gay-for-pay" or bi. I just do not want to dole out $200+ to service a guy; I want interactivity and a lot of deep, wet kissing!

 

I'll patiently await your responses! - - -

I never hired him, but sure thought about it while he was advertising in San Francisco.

 

I tried using the search function on the two sites quoted, but didn't turn anything up under "Lou Cass" per se.

 

I had the impression that he was bi. Certainly has a lot of pictures with women on his myspace page, but also a dedicated poster from one of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in SF.

 

There's a wikipaedia article about him which says:

 

Cass began his career in porn in 1987, appearing in Le Salon Studio's biggest-selling video, Weekend Workout, with François Papillion. In 1989, he won the Adam Gay Video Directory "Dave Award" for Best Performer for his role of Billy Blue in Sexy Billy Blue. He appeared in his last porn film, Catalina Video's Man of the Year, in 1990, co-starring with Joey Stefano. Clips from his films were used in The Best of Joey Stefano and Oral Extravaganza, compilation videos released after his retirement from the industry.

 

He started up Forrest Films, his own production company, in 1990; he produced, directed, and sometimes appeared in films which included The Private Home Videos of Lou Cass, The Private Lives of Lou Cass, Pleasure Theater (for which he also did the soundtrack), and Made in China. He also recorded a cover of Nick Gilder's, Rated X, which was released as a 12" Dance Record single in 1990 and it became the first recording by a porn star to hit the Billboard charts. A performance of Cass's single at the I-Beam dance club in San Francisco was quickly sold out. He later performed the single for Bill Graham's In Concert Against AIDS, opening for Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt and Huey Lewis and the News.

 

Cass has performed over fifty concerts to raise funds for AIDS research. He continues to work in the music industry. His first few tunes were tailored for dance clubs. Some reviewers compared his 'Hi-NRG sound' to the Pet Shop Boys and Madonna.

 

Shortly following his retirement from porn, Cass began his forays into the mainstream entertainment business. His first role was on the popular daytime soap opera General Hospital. His first movie role was playing one of Nick Mancuso's hired guns in the direct-to-video action flick The Takeover in 1994. This was followed by an appearance on Disney film, I Love Trouble, with Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts, and appearances on Melrose Place, Beverly Hills 90210, Picket Fences, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, seaQuest DSV and an episode of L.A. Law, among others.

 

Cass became the FIRST Adult Film Actor to successfully cross-over into Mainstream Entertainment.

 

Cass returned back to the Adult Film Industry in 2007, starring in Falcon Studio's "DARE". In May 2008, Lou Cass won the "Best Actor of the Year in a non-sexual performance" at 'the Grabby awards' in Chicago, ILL.

He/Lou currently has an ad at http://www.rentmen.com. If I decide to hire him, I think I'll contact an escort and performer who's on my FB page and apparently a friend of Lou's to see what his escorting status is. The man who is at my FB is well-known throughout the business of film, performing, directing, etc.

 

I thank the preceding poster for what he wrote; it, too, was indeed helpful! -

 

It's the day after (03/04/10) since I wrote the preceding; unfortunately, Lou Cass's ad is no longer up at http://www.rentmen.com (SAN Francisco).

Axiom,

 

I also cannot find his profile. It would be helpful to provide a link to his profile on Rentmen and not just a link to the Rentmen homepage. Or info on the city or profile heading might be helpful.

 

Thanks.
