“…He never gave me the time of day – except when Falcon hired him to fuck me”

In a new interview with something called “The Back Building,” Brent Corrigan/Sean Paul Lockhart opens up about working with Falcon Studios, the Bryan Kocis murder trial, and the death of Erik Rhodes, whom he calls “very grumpy.” Here’s Brent Corrigan at his cunty best.


 
On shooting Velvet Mafia for Falcon Studios as “Fox Ryder” due to the conflict with Cobra Video over the rights to the name “Brent Corrigan”:

It was probably the worst film of my career. The scenes were very awkward to film. I agreed to do the project for Falcon if they promised to promote me under my name, Brent Corrigan. Falcon got what they wanted out of me but bowed to claims from Cobra Video that Cobra owned the rights to my name. Even to this day it amazes me how a company as big as Falcon could cower to a little bitty, bullshit company like Cobra Video—but they did. Then again, where is Falcon now? Practically archived for good. I guess in retrospect they had been making a whole lot of poor business choices for a long time.

On the Bryan Kocis murder trial:

I sat on the stand, substantiated the evidence the investigators had uncovered and moved on. Harlow and Joe went to jail for life for the crime they committed on their own accord. Old news.

On Erik Rhodes:

I remember he was very grumpy and even though I knew exactly who he was right away, I didn’t even seem to register on his radar. […] Outside of our scene he didn’t associate with me. After that, even when we’d see each other in passing in West Hollywood or at any number of gay porn events it was as if I didn’t exist. As an outsider looking on, he always seemed very sad to me. Definitely unsatisfied and always looking on at the next thing as if what was in front of him wasn’t enough. I think his passing is very sad and I know he was loved by many but he never gave me the time of day—except when Falcon hired him to fuck me—so it’s tough to say anything very outstanding about him.

Brent Corrigan, charming as always.

  1. Perhaps I missed the “county” part? Brent seems like he’s just telling his own story from his own perspective. He doesn’t seem particularly nasty about it.

    As performers, I love the work done by both of them, and LOVED the scene they did together. ( And have frequently wished that they had performed together more; at least I now have an inkling why that was.) I had the impression from a YouTube video they both appear in that they were actually casual friends/acquaintances so found reading this (and the excerpt from Erik’s blog someone posted) to be surprising.

    All that said, I know that in the early stages, I found it hard to get into Erik Rhodes’ work, because anytime I found footage of him on live cam or being interviewed, he appeared to be a quite unpleasant person. He may not have been that way 24/7, but it was certainly the impression I would come off with. As such, it doesn’t seem a stretch that Brent might have found him to be “grumpy”. I think it displays extraordinary tact that is the way he’s chosen to describe his demeanour, particularly qualifying his perception of sadness “as an outsider looking on”.

    Watching Brent “grow up” over the years has been a pleasure as he seems to become ever more comfortable in his own skin, grounded and using the cards he’s been dealt to pursue and achieve the goals he sets for himself. He has apparently decided not to let circumstances define him, but to define himself. I admire he for that and only wish him the greatest success and happiness in the future.

  2. I wish Brent/Sean would ride his horse off into the sunset and we never hear from him again. But his desire for attention will forbid that from ever happening. It’s just like the person above said- “he isn’t as spectacular as he seems to thinks he is”. As far as the Kocis case, Sean will have to live with the real truth for the rest of his life. He knows what happened.

    1. The real truth about Bryan Kocis is that someone slashed the motherfucker’s throat, stabbed him 28 times and then set the piece-of-shit on fire.

      I don’t know if Lockhart has trouble living with that but I know that I don’t.

  3. i’ve actually had the pleasure of spending time with brent/sean in his personal, private life and i have to tell you all how sweet, fun and charming he really is. a bit guarded yes, but given his circumstances that’s not surprising. wouldn’t you be?

  4. I take great pleasure in watching BK/SPL/Mena/Stan take a bare cock up his ass .. in the words of his last Cobra movie: Take it like a bitch boy ..

  5. No matter what Corrigan says and tries to deny, he had a hand in what happened. Everything is pretty much documented. He can only play “stupid” for so long. Brent tell the truth. It’s time to fess up and take responsibility for YOUR past.

  6. If Erik failed to contain his contempt of “Brent”, I’m impressed with Erik. Erik did a lot of harm, but to himself. Brent, well, if anyone thinks he wasn’t in on the murder of the scumbag Brian Kocis . . . .

    He’s practically admitted that he lied about his age in order to do porn when he was under 18 … pretty shitty. And the murder of Kocis makes sense only if Brent was in on it. It’s a sad fact that so many can look past his obvious involvement in that murder (of a clear scumbag, to be sure) simply because they like his twinky looks.

    1. Let’s see, we can either, one, believe both the state and federal court system that, after an extensive investigation, Lockhart had nothing to do with the murder of Kocis or, two, a poster on a website who’s consulted nothing more than his asshole that there’s a massive conspiracy with Sean at the center.

      I’m going to go with one. Assholes aren’t known for their thinking ability.

  7. If that is “cunty” then Zach better stay away from gay events and parties. He’s unfamiliar with the meaning of “cunty”

  8. His comments about Rhodes don’t seem to be venomous in any way. He describes his death as “sad.” He describes him as “grumpy,” which would fit with how Rhodes obviously saw him. He doesn’t call him an asshole, or accuse him of anything heinous–from just the statement related here, I’d say those of you who are painting him as slamming Rhodes in anyway are reading into it. I didn’t get that impression at all.

  9. We now know that Luzerne County Pennsylvania (where Bryan Kocis lived and produced porn) has a 100+ year history of political corruption and TIES TO ORGANIZED CRIME. Judge Michael Conahan, who was President Judge of The Luzerne County Court System when Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes were arrested is now in Prison. Mark Ciavarella, who was President Judge of The Luzerne County Court System during Cuadra’s trial, is also now in prison. Conahan met regularly with the Head of the NE PA Mob in a public restaurant.

    How many guys in their 20’s have been up against a deranged, piece-of-shit child molester who was operating out of a corrupt little county with ties to organized crime?

    BTW. unlike all of the grown men who sat back and watched what Bryan Kocis was doing, Joseph Kerekes and Harlow Cuadra “allegedly” did something about it. Just imagine what Bryan Kocis could have gone on to do in Luzerne County Pennsylvania.

    1. Best comment on this topic. We don’t know what REALLY happened in Kocis’ house. We also do not know if all of the guilty parties are incarcerated. Because the crime centered around gay men, a child molester and a seedy industry, we never will.

  10. Brent/Sean has always invisioned himself as the It boy of Porn and Hollywood. This cracks me up. I met Erik Rhodes a few times. He was always friendly and funny, with a good sense of humor. And I’m a mere civilian

  11. Looks like in the recollections of their meeting, it was actually Erik who was “cunty”. Maybe as the older (wiser?) model, could he have been a little more of an example to the younger performer? Brent/Sean was much more diplomatic in his wording, maybe now that Erik has passed. Is it possible that both of them believed their hype a little too much? Sorry, but Erik really wasn’t my cup of tea performer-wise, but he was built up to be a mega-star too.

    Anyway, are we silly enough to expect all scene partners to get on before and after their work is done? Their scene was hot, though an odd choice, and this means they did their job.

    1. I hardly think someone who combined performance-enhancing drugs with club drugs is in any position to set a ‘mature’ example.

  12. I agree with people saying that it’s the best thing in the world when porn stars are brutally honest. Seems that porn stars are bit afraid to speak their minds because of the repercussions. Brent no longer has to deal with those repercussions so it’s only fitting that he decides to be brutally honest AFTER his porn career.

    And not sorry to say that Erik Rhodes made brutal honest about porn an art form. I’m sure he exaggerated a bit a lot of it though is spot on. Especially what he said about Brent Corrigan. There seriously is nothing that stands out about Brent as there are thousands of other gay porn stars just like him. Only difference is like Erik said is the amount of attention he gained from his underage porn work.

    Erik however, he stood out from the rest. Whether he did it in a good or bad way he was a porn star that people demanded to see more of.

  13. I never viewed him as anything but a willing collaborator with Kocis and someone who made it wasy for Kocis to film him underage, with probably no collusion. The business with Rhodes suggests that, at best, he was “no better” given Rhodes’ side. given that Erik Rhodes was both well liked and a social/emotional basket case, Corrigan seems to be taking a gratuitous swipe at the dead and a dead guy who was rrather vulnerable, at that. I have to give Corrigan credit, he’s a survivor. But at some point, he’ll hit his pull date and he better hope people are more generous about him than he seems to be about anyone else.

    1. Life dealt this kid a major lemon. His druggie hooker mom told him to follow her example and make a living on his back. He needed to make lemonade FAST. He did what he needed to do, starting with enduring that fugly Flip.

  14. I’m not saying Brent doesn’t have a right to say what’s on his mind because he does and he does have people taking shots at him so it’s good he’s talking back. Having said that it’s always easier to talk about the dead because they can’t defend themselves. No one will accuse Eric of making the best decisions in life but i find it funny you’d chose to say these things when he’s dead and not when he was alive because i doubt this was the first time anyone asked you about your scene. As far as using your name in the movie why didn’t you get it in writing that they would use “your name” or say pay you a penalty? I don’t think anyone would blame falcon for not wanting a lawsuit. While velvet mafia was cheesy bad I don’t know that id label it your worst..I saw you in that horror movie….. Getting Levi’s Johnson and your work was bad! That rooftop fuck scene, um you should pay me 50 for watching it.

    .

  15. I like hearing him talk candidly like this. He’s being honest but fair. I wish more performers were honest about the industry, other than when they’re having Twitter meltdowns, but the usual mode is rah-rah cheerleading. Granted, Brent succumbs to bullshit whenever he has something to sell, but when he’s feeling honest enough to switch that off, he’s interesting.

  16. Sometimes when someone is honest it seems harsh. As they say, the truth hurts. I am no Corrigan fan whatsoever. But he is candid here. The Velvet Mafia video is when Falcon jumped the shark. To bring in a controversial bareback performer, give him the box cover, etc was a stupid move. He says his scenes were ackward. Well they looked ackward so they obviously were. Chris Steele was a horrible director and it really showed. Unfortuately the gay porn media ate this up as some great piece of work. To have a twink bareback star fuck your A List Falcon exclusives was IMO the worst decision ever made in gay porn. He is right though, look at Falcon today.
    So while I dont like him, I see his words as truth.

  17. The tragedy of Brent Corrigan is that his best scenes were for Cobra Video. He may hate those scenes but his fame (and notoriety) as a porn star are primarily based on them. His subsequent scenes for other studios were mediocre and unexciting. Don’t think many gay guys would recognize his name if he had not worked for Cobra.

    1. I suspect that you’re one of those people for whom porn that isn’t somehow ‘forbidden’ (unsafe, underage) is somehow ‘un-hot’. The hottest things Sean has ever filmed are his PSAs for DCFukIt.org (especially the one with Matthew Rush!) For me, his stuff with Dirty Bird is better than his Cobra stuff if only because the guys don’t look like they need a good meal. I wish he’d done a one-on-one with sexy gay Marine David.

      1. The fact that you have to resort to innuendo shows that you are a true Corriganette. Condom porn can be hot but unfortunately for you Brent Corrigan’s condom scenes are not.

  18. Erik Rhodes wasn’t overly keen on Brent Corrigan. From his tumblr:

    >why don’t you like Brent Corrigan? In Velvet Mafia you guys have a great (I thought) scene together and I ended up being a BC fan afterwards (20-ish muscley-twink BC, not scrawny, underage BC). I even bought him fucking you.

    >Some people say “First impressions are everything”… well with Brent, he just came off arrogant… like there wasn’t a million kids exactly like him… The only difference between them and him, is that he did under-age bareback porn and caused a scandal. Bravo to him for that. But seriously, as i watched him do this penis exercise for the “behind the scenes” camera, all i could think to myself “is this kid is such a tool-bag, get over yourself”. Sure i could sell the scene hating a model, i wouldn’t be a “porn actor”(i said this in my head with a think British accent) if i couldn’t. As for now… well the kid looks exactly the same… like he has the same shit Gary Coleman had… and its kinda creepy… how old are you, try to be Justin Beiber… come on guy… stop it…plus… stop trying to sell safe sex when your still selling a video of yourself with a load dripping out of your hole on your website. Freak.

      1. I think they are both assholes. However, to his credit, Erik never claimed to be anything he wasn’t. Yes he was a narcissist and suicidal, but he never denied it. He wasn’t trying to be a “voice” for the gay community or be an icon like some of these nuts that work in porn.

        Erik loathed trying to portray life differently than it was.

        He was reluctant to call himself a “star.”

        Erik wasn’t deluded enough to think people who used him for sex “loved” or “cared” about him. (of course, I could argue he sought those people out…so it is 50/50 his fault and the people around him.)

        He was callous and shallow. And he owned it. Before calling people out on their bullshit, put his on the table first and made no qualms about it. In some ways I respect it. Other times I was annoyed. Like, seriously, pull yourself together. You don’t have to spend time hating yourself and others. Find purpose. Do something. Other than be a passive-aggressive cynic with nihilist tendencies. Even this alone, he was a world better than Sean.

        But he was honest. Maybe too honest for his own good. Sometimes an ounce of denial and self-delusion helps people cope with some real shit. His only means was sex and drugs. Typical for survivors of childhood abuse.

  19. Thanks to Brent/Sean for being honest! He must be tired about always the same questions…
    I often fantasize on what might be the “behind the scene” relationships expecting they were fellowship, camaradery, sensual,romance, wishing these relationships are hot!
    Brent/sean just says what I wonder not to be: “unfriendly, ignoring, cold”.
    Thanks Brent/Sean for being again honest.
    Wishing you true fellowship from people you like!

  20. The idea of ‘not speaking ill of the dead’ is ridiculous! Since his drug-induced demise, Erik Rhodes has been (inappropriately) placed up on some kind of martyrdom pedestal. Chances are Rhodes was just another insecure, ‘roid-crazed muscle Mary prick who had contempt for gays like Sean who are comfortable enough in their skin not be macho posers like him.

    1. To peter:

      I didn’t know “Erik” other than from his videos and his blogs. I didn’t have any sexual crush on him. I knew who he was and I liked his work. What I saw was someone who was handsome and powerful.

      I won’t defend “Erik” because I can’t. He was everything you described and more; a self-centered narcissist who treated anyone who cared for him and tried to help him with scorn and contempt. He didn’t want or appreciate help (or as he saw it, pity) as it only re-enforced his belief that he was a loser and how pathetic his life was. He died the way he planned; a night of excess drugs and soulless sex; a passive suicide.

      But when I read his blogs I cry like I lost my only friend in the world. I still cry and my heart breaks for a lost, lonely, hurt little boy who lashed out at people to hide his insecurities and self-hate. His body was his armor which he perfected for his protection. I suspect he worked extra hard at the end so when he died, he would leave a perfect corpse. It was all planned. Only the moment would be random.

      I never posted a question or comment on his blog because I knew there was nothing I could say (or that anyone else had already said) that would stop him from living his dream to die. He wanted to die and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I kept hoping one of his friends would see how bad off he was but he had no real friends since he pushed them all way (leaving him alone on Christmas Eve). The only one who may have been able to save him was his brother but he loved his brother too much to burden him with his problems so he kept his brother in the dark. His brother knew there were issues but he never grasps the depths of his despair.

      “Erik” lived a life of bad choices and he refused to believe he could change. He believed he was worthless and doomed so he treated every night out as if it was his last and hoped it would be; excess drugs, excess sex, only to curse the paramedics who revived him from the release of death he desperately craved.

      I wish I would have had the chance to meet him but I wouldn’t live up to his standards and he would have dismissed me as any other porn-deceived fan who fell for his “Erik” act.

      James was the embodiment of the old saying, ‘I wouldn’t want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member’. He believed he was worthless and unworthy of love so if anyone loved him he believed there was something wrong with them. He desired people he couldn’t have and when he found one he could, he drove them away. It was only one of many viscous cycles of self-hate fueling degrading sex.

      Anyone can say anything they want about James because everyone is right. He was everything everyone said from being the biggest prick in the world to a loving brother.

      A few years ago, a mother lost her freshman son to a night of drinking at college. Her and her husband drove back with his body in the back of their car. That night, the mother slept in the car because she didn’t want her son to be alone.

      I never met James but his death has ripped a hole in my heart. I know I have to let him go but I can’t. If I stop thinking of him I feel I’ve abandoned him. I don’t want him to be alone.

      Maybe I’m wrong about everything. Just some of my own thoughts from reading his blog. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.

      If anyone knew James in person and wants to share their experience, I’d love to hear about it. The good, the bad, and the cold, hard truth.

      1. Even if someone caused him any harm this one won’t be able to mend it now. It’s not your case, anyway… If you continue to carry this obsessed thoughts it’ll become a burden to you. I’m sure we that knew him thru his blog, tumblr or ‘ porn ‘ will keep a memory ( good or bad: doesn’t matter ) of him. Use the memories you keep of him to guide you, to teach you. Some people cross our lives to show us what we must avoid in life. As you ( well ) said he didn’t want the kind of help anyone were able to give him so give aid for the ones you can and know it will worth your kindness. Sounds selfish but, no one want you to be Mother Tereza from Calcutta. If there is something after death I think no one is alone there. Better pray for him if you want and know whow sometimes. ( Pardon my english.)

  21. I know how they both hated filming that scene but the Rhodes/Corrigan is still to this day one of my favorite scenes ever. The contrasts between them … hmmmm
    On the other hand the threesome with Chad Hunt and Roman Heart was sad coz they obviously were ignoring Corrigan.

    1. If I were Chad Hunt or Roman Heart I would ignore Brent too. He was out of place in that scene. Chad Hunt the hung top and Roman Heart the voracious bottom was already a great match there was no need for mediocre Brent in there.

  22. I wouldn’t say he’s “cunty” just very candid.
    Would you rather him spout off some happy go lucky bullshit that’s makes you want to puke instead?

    1. I agree. I like it better when pornstars are honest. I always wonder who they actually liked to work with or not and nothing he said sounded gratuitously mean.
