Vincent Russo

[SGVBOB]

I was wondering if we will be seeing anymore of him? Possibly some action scenes, or was he a 'one and done'?

We haven't heard anything from him since his first scene. We have tried reaching out.

I always wonder about the "one and doners", Sha. Aren't they typically brought in to do a series of scenes over the course of a week or several days? You explained about Jeremy Hunt getting a call from his girlfriend and deciding to return home without doing a partnered scene, but wasn't Vincent brought in with expectations of doing partnered scenes? Even Tim Hanes who was reluctant from the start to have gay sex, did his allotment of scenes while there.

Goood questions, mikey. Let's see if answers to what could be more complicated situations are as quickly forthcoming!!!

Yes that is certainly the intention but it isn't always how things play out. There are so many things that could happen which would make us not be able to film more than the solo scene or multiple scenes. I always try to be as forthcoming as I can with information but as this is a business and we are talking about others lives, I am not always able to elaborate as to why there are not additional scenes produced from a certain model.

Thanks for trying, Sha! HOPEFULLY he will respond.

I think most of us understand the legal and/or ethical limitations in discussing such personnel/personal matters. But I think if some general information would be known to us, then these types of general questions would not be asked ad nauseum. For example:

1. Is the normal procedure to have a model come to film three scenes during the filming period? Yes or No

2. Is the filming period usually a 7 day period? Yes or No? How frequently does this filming period occur - monthly? bi-monthly? Are all models present during this filming period? Does filming occur at other times depending on the availability of certain models?

3. Are new models made aware of the filming procedure, e.g. solo then partnered scenes before arriving at the filming site? or do you just discuss a solo scene and hope to convince them to do more after they are there (I had to ask this but it seems an impractical method from a financial and filming perspective)?

4. How many filming periods occur during a typical year?


When it comes to specific model questions, I think you have been generally very forthcoming. While some might want every jot and tittle of why a model is no longer here, I think most would be satisfied with the truth, i.e. he is no longer with us (and if you can give any details as to why - which is what you generally do now). If he is still with us just say so and as you generally do say why he hasn't been around lately. e.g. school, work, etc.

Personally I think you do a commendable job in keeping us informed and I'm comfortable leaving it to your best judgement as to what you can and can't say, legally and ethically, about a model's situation vis-a-vis his presence or lack thereof on the site.

Thank you so much, sha. Hopefully enough forumites will see these answers so the need to repeat those questions will be minimized. Your cando and succinctness is deeply appreciated.

Indeed Sha. Thank you for filling us in to the best of your ability. Most of us realize that sharing a complete picture of every model's personal situation would be impolite and disrespectful at best. I appreciate the honest and nuanced answer you gave us about Vincent. From your answers we can deduce several logical assumptions with a presumably high level of accuracy.

So far he has only done the one scene. Something happened that prevented him from doing more scenes. (The reasons for which are really none of our business, unless or until one or both parties decide they actually want to share them publicly or decide it's safe to discuss them without breaking any personal or business confidences.) The site has made it known to Vincent that he would be welcome back to do more work if he ever chooses to do so. He was not fired or anything like that. So far at least, Vincent has chosen to remain incommunicado and not come back to do more work. That also means though that there is a sliver of hope he could come back eventually.

As a fan of the site and as a beginning fan of Vincent's, I'm very happy to know as much as I do now.

Thanks again Sha!
