WEHT Steve Sandvoss

He and his older brother now own/operate a goat farm/dairy in western New York making artesianal cheeses. I'm *not* making this up.

I tweeted him once and he tweeted me back!

R1 artisanal

He was smokin' hot in "Latter Days." Didn't he retire to his brother's farm in upstate New York?

Now he's a goat herder, or something.

Too greasy in that photo.

He's now Max, OP. Max Sandvoss. Stop deadnaming him.

Victim of the casting coutch. Changed his name to Max, turned his back on the industry.

Is he gay?

SO gorgeous!

As of October 2013, Sandvoss had changed his first name to Max and manages a farm in East Bethany, New York, with his brother, Trystan.

He has only himself to blame.

Steve did a fatal mistake after gaining notoriety for Latter Days. He tried to remove himself from any connection to the film and gay cinema in general. He was not talented enough to crossover to mainstream, so instead of adding on that popularity to create more starring roles (however small) and connections he fell into obscurity.

He reminds me of a burlier Connor Jessup.

Latter Days was a surprisingly good move, and not just for the above pictures

Nice balls.

So to be clear a really hot guy exiled himself to a farm with his brother.... Straight?

Maybe he's just not into women...

...or men.

Really strange that he'd go out of the way to change his name. It's one thing to fade into obscurity but wow. He must really not want to be associated with anything remotely gay.

I wish Max would comeback to acting; it does not mean it has to be a full time gig. He can take parts on some Indies here and there, and still live his normal current live. I don't think his love for acting has died, that need never goes away.

You all are SO late. There was a thread posted about him and his new identity two years ago...

....

Still good looking R21

Stop posting pictures that are common knowledge to everyone.

Don't be such an old curmudgeon R28. Keep posting R27!

Naw, I just got tired of sucking shriveled producer dick.

-Max

I'm sure Ryan Murphy would cast him in something.

[quote]Naw, I just got tired of sucking shriveled producer dick.

Actually no, it is because of that idiotic stand to disassociate himself from "the gay" that he ended up sucking some producer's cock. He could have landed some other Indie films right after Latter Days (even if they were small gay theme films) but eventually that could have lead to more important work. He was not advised well and that's the truth.

The Sandvoss brothers are uncut so I guess it helps cancel out the smell of their smegma.

How do you know?

R28 stfu grumpy gramps

Maybe he doesn't want to act any more and that's it.

What a waste! Considering his look and intelligence (H grad), plus the fact that he speaks pretty decent Mandarin...

He and his brother are a couple. They retired to the farm to escape society's judgements.

The gays don't judge.

Is Max Sandvoss his gay porn name or the name he running for a republican congressional seat under or both?

[quote]He and his brother are a couple. They retired to the farm to escape society's judgements.

According to Facebook the brother had a baby with his wife last fall.

I wouldn't mind being a cheese maker myself. Sounds like hard work but looks very fulfilling. My mother comes from a farming family so I certainly know it's not all sunshine and flowers. Still, I don't wonder at all why Steve decided to go this way. Hollywood is brutal.

He is so cute. I love those fair skinned guys who get all red faced when they are turned on.

BTW, after all the depressing stories about Trump, terrorism and all the shit going in the world it felt nice to scroll through their company's Facebook page. Goats and barn cats and beautiful fields. Maybe I really should become a specialty farmer.

The brother's "wife" is a surrogate. Steve and his brother are happily raising the baby themselves as a loving couple. Don't judge.

Sorry but starring in Latter Days is not much of a launching pad. I worked on the movie and it was a bare bones very low budget film. Only people on this site would have even heard of it or Steve Sandvoss. Nice guy though. Very unassuming.

It may have had a bare bones budget, but as someone noted upthread it was a surprisingly good movie. Thanks largely to Steve/Max's appealing portrayal of a tortured soul.

It was a terrible film that's rightly been forgotten, as has everyone associated with it.

Apparently they haven't R49 since we're at post 50 of a thread about one of the stars, and you remembered enough to post about it!

no, you're at post #50 of an oiled up shirtless guy whose photo was splashed across this thread from post one.

Personally preferred The Falls to Latter Days when it comes to gay Mormon movies.

[quote]Latter Days was a surprisingly good move

No, it was NOT. Why do some gays try to convince themselves some of these trashy movies are good? Latter Days was a cheesy B-movie, don't kid yourself.

I remember thinking it didn't suck. Can't say the same for r51.

Who is this person who is trying to partner Max with his brother?

What makes you think that?

R43 Does Facebook say anything about a significant other for Max?

R51 If you hate this thread and the associated movie so much, hit ignore on the thread!

What happened to his face? Did he go through the windshield of a car? His nose looks messed up, and he's gone from hunky to ugly.

Boring life.

It's not a boring life. It is filled with responsibility and care. So much so that there is less time for traveling the world, tricking on Grindr. But it's better than spending all day everyday pushing paper like most of us.

I don't understand the lack of appreciation for Sandvoss' film. Compared with other B-budget gay films, which are mostly really cheap and boring, it was outstanding. The Mormon parents were especially interesting to me, because the mother was really hateful and the father seemed, in a quiet way, to be shunning her as much as possible.

And Steve was really nice to look at. I didn't care for his opposite, though. Just my own personal taste.

he is unbelievably hot in that movie. I liked it just because of him, because I didn't not like the guy that he fell for at all.

Total nonsense that people have forgotten Latter Days. In New Now Next's 100 Best Gay films 2015 list the film was at number 6. It's so loved because the feeling of alienation from the family and church Sandvoss' character is going through rings true with so many people. The film's not really a favorite of mine and I totally see all its faults but it's got a good heart. I've seen it maybe three times over the years. Sandvoss is maybe the biggest reason the film works so well. He makes the character vulnerable and extremely touching. It's sort of a perfect storm situation with him being practically the only imaginable guy to play the role, he's so good in it. I vaguely remember seeing him in something else and even though he seems like a totally nice guy and capable as an actor he didn't blow me away.

You can see the budget wasn't that high but Latter Days is totally one of the best low budget gay feature films ever made, with its warts and all. You can sense the authenticity from the script because the writer/director was a Mormon himself. There's a reason why films like Latter Days and another low budget indie Shelter (number 2 on the same best gay films list) are so well liked. They are sentimental but the feeling behind feels so very real and true.

Um, wasn't there an announcement couple months back that he was returning to acting?

Could've sworn someone posted an article or something saying he got a small part in something and was slowly dipping his toe back into the acting waters.

Or was that just wishful thinking.

Oh and I agree with the consensus...he's fucking gorgeous. Wish he was gay in real life.

How many people bump into Jackie Bisset and become fast friends?

I agree it's not a very good movie but the hot nude scenes are well remembered

[quote] How many people bump into Jackie Bisset and become fast friends?

Considering she was playing a role your question doesn't make sense.

R47, would you start a thread on LD? It would be interesting to hear your behind the scenes stories and reminiscences. It may have been low budget, but it touched many gay people because of the truth at its core.

Charlie David would have been better in the waiter role.

I gotta give Sandvoss props for making me believe he was into that hideous other guy in "Latter Days."

With Joseph Gordon Levitt as a non-gay Mormon.

The movie was so corny and contrived, I only got halfway through it.

Sandvoss is hot, but the lead actor opposite him really ISN'T.

Omg...

So is he gay or straight?

Clearly R49/51 was right, a forgotten movie

His co-star has had a pretty solid tv career.

Wow, I never knew Latter Days was Wes Ramsey's first role in anything. Or so says IMDb. I agree that next to Steve he seemed too slick but then again he was supposed to play an experienced big city gay man. I've liked him in some of the other stuff he's done but he probably wasn't the best one to play the role in Latter Days. He did a good enough job but something was missing.

Wes Ramsey was cute back in the day, and is still pretty good to look at. Somewhat.

Sandvoss was so fucking hot in that movie. The thought of him as a goat farmer makes him even hotter. I'd work his farmer's market booth any day of the week, if it meant we could go back to the barn afterwards and get it on.

Based on their Facebook page Steve sells their products himself at market sometimes. Makes you wonder how many Latter Day fans travel to buy cheese from him.

Readin' with the cows

Those are goats, r81. Cows are four times as large. As I would be happy to make Mr. Sandvoss.

I almost didn't recognize Wes Ramsey here with the lighter hair. Kinda reminds me of Paul Walker.

Carrie, who's the farmer with the Delts?

Wes Ramsey? EEEEWWW.

r83's photo is wildly overproduced. Wes must use that on Grindr.

[quote]Sandvoss is hot, but the lead actor opposite him really ISN'T.

I have the opposite reaction. Sandvoss is pleasant-looking in that cornfed Midwestern way, but Ramsey is much hotter. Chacun à son goût.

Ramsey was too femme for me in Latter Days but I wouldn't call him ugly at all.

Steve/Max was the definitely the hot one in the movie, but Wes didn't give me a strong urge to change the channel.

Speaking of changing the channel: Even though we now have Netflix et al, I miss Logo airing movies like Latter Days.

I wonder if he has ever been offered doing gay porn, if not someone should do it. His ASS was the highlight of Latter days for me. He has a great built, kinda beefy but with a cute face. Then he's also a Harvard grad. It's such a pity that all this potential gets wasted by being a farmer, his beauty should be enjoyed by all.

Part of the audition process?

What is wasted by his being a farmer? I think it's a noble calling especially if done sustainably.

Would his harvard degree be less of a waste if he were a hedge fund manager instead? That's what a lot of ivy league grads do, and they make bank, but the work is a shell game, taking risks with other people's money, and fundamentally parasitic.

What are they doing in those gifs?

"Reparation" therapy. De-gaying him.

Ramsey looks much better with short hair, r83. I honestly think that's why I found him so unattractive in Latter Days - horrible, horrible haircut. Looked like a bad wig. I lived in West Hollywood in the early 2000s and I don't remember any gay guys wearing their hair that way.

Agree with those who said it was a surprisingly good movie. Does anyone know if it's on one of the streaming services?

R103 You can watch it here.

Please tell me how to meet him!!!! I've been crying all day thinking about it!! I searched it on maps, but the farm isn't exist on it. I tried to find where his workshops/market located, but still negative. Pleasee!! I want to meet him so mucchh. I couldn't find him on instagram, neither fb nor twitter!! If anyone knows it, please tell me. Thanks a lot :))

he's clearly not that into you, dear.

drop it

Here he is recently!

And another!

And another from last year

I'm watching [italic]Latter Days[/italic] on Tubi again after about 15 years, and I forgot what a wretched cunt Mary Kay Place was in this.

wes a repug? wtf with that pic of reagan????
