No pictures here, but his name is Josh Henderson. If you want to see more of him...

 

He's in a REALLY HORRIBLE scifi movie called "Leeches". It's all about a college swim team, and they spend most of the movie in their swim trunks. That's about the ONLY good thing about the movie. ;-)

 

One review I saw said "maybe their true calling is gay porn".

 

It's one of those movies where you actually see the hand in the puppet and the string pulling the "monster" across the set.

 

But there's a lot of mighty fine skin. :7

It's one of a couple of dozen "not gay, but homoerotic as hell" horror movies by David DeCocteau (Best known are the "Brotherhood" films, four of them by now), an openly gay director who knows what he likes: hunky, early-20's guys wearing nothing but boxer briefs (or, in the case of "Leeches", Speedos). His more recent films are going directly to cable, on Here!TV, and then to video.

 

As a fan of really BAD horror films, "Leeches" is my favorite DeCocteau work. Its "plot": private college swim team is on steroids, and goes swimming in a pond near the school that is infested with leeches. The leeches suck the swimmers' steroid-charged blood, and become (wait for it ...) SUPER leeches! They terrorize the school and the town.

 

As you said, the special effects are beyond laughable. As a matter of fact, on the DVD commentary, DeCocteau himself pokes fun of them, explaining that's what you had to do when your special effects budget is like a dollar and a half. He talks about how they did some of the scenes ... when the leeches walk, they are being pulled along by a thread (visisble in some scenes) and leaving a trail of "slime" which is actually Palmolive dish detergent. Some of the leeches are indeed hand puppets.

 

There's no gay content, and no complete nudity (The guys even shower in their Speedos). In typical DeCocteau fashion, the guys' "girlfriends" stay fully clothed, although the guys are constantly stripping down. Oh, and you'll not only see Josh Henderson in Speedos, but there is a scene where his girlfriend ties him to a bed and leaves him there unattended (About the only time I've been jealous of a leech! :)

 

If you can't find the DVD for rent, you can buy it for just $5.99 (including postage) at DeepDiscountDVD.Com. Amazon also has some used copies even cheaper, but postage will bring them up above that.

i'm like Rick. Well, maybe not as witty. I love variety. Which I think is nearly a prerequisite in an excellent escort. In fact, Maverick (We just celebrated our 8th anniversary), teases me about how the younguns can turn me on. Not as much as they turn you guys on, in that I try not to get turned on at all by anyone under 21 (doesn't always work) and I won't have sex with anyone under 26. But then, Maverick quits looking under about 30. I think the reason you associate me with an appreciation of older, hairier men is 1. I do honestly turn on to them. 2. I have defended them at times when people around here have wondered aloud why anyone would turn on to them. But that second part is partly self defense as I am happy to be very hairy myself and I have been escorting on and all since 1975. You try to do the math, if you want to, gentle readers, but because of some of the tacky queens around here, I have quit admitting my age on this Board. (Though not in my advertising or reviews.) Oh, another difference between me and Rick - He usually knows when to shut up. Ah, well, another long note ....
