In my opinion, male talent should be male talent and agents should be agents. I think people trying to be both is greedy and unethical.
Further, I think any agency that allows, much less promotes, this unethical behavior should seriously reconsider this practice. There is simply too much risk of hurt feelings, poor intentions and basic corruption. Agents booking scenes for girls with third parties then booking themselves as the male talent is just plain wrong. This practice really needs to be discussed and looked into.
Several months ago, while be repped by Gold Star Modeling, I got what I considered to be a fairly easy gig for Pink Visual shooting for "Couples Seduce Teens".
When I showed up, I met the male talent, a not especially good looking guy named Ethan [Cage]. Personally, I was shocked anyone used his as male talent but that is another story all together. I knew I had heard his voice someplace but I could not place it. I forgot about it and get into shooting the scene.
Sadly, I was also working with a girl that seemed a bit too old to be in porno but I cannot recall her name. I only knew her as Ethan's wife. Lexi [Lamour] maybe? Who cares, it hardly matters. Well, halfway through this scene in which Ethan proved not only does he not look like a porn star, he also does not "perform" like one if you get my drift, he tells me he is my agent.
I was like, FUCK, now I know where I have heard that voice. The scuzz that was fucking me was the very same scuzz that booked the scene for me. I was really upset by this revelation and really figured he should have told me that before the scene as I would have backed out.
Of course, now I am in an interesting spot. The single worst scene I ever shot in the adult biz was with my agent and now if I want to work I have to see him in the office or call him on the phone. So, I do neither. I just book what I can on my own and avoid the games and sickness that involves "super Ethan" and his fucked up game of booking himself as talent.
When I hear his voice, my ass tightens up. When I saw him and his wife at AVN, I turned and walked the other way. Ethan makes me as sick as Dick Nasty and they both play the same scummy games.
Am I the only one that thinks agents and talent should be two different career choices??
