Gay Pornstar Phil Bradley on PBS In the Life

he was a dumb lunk from boston

This guy?

Oooh, I'd love to see that! He had the nicest butt in porn at one time.

R2 yea

R1 Did you know him or ever meet him?

-1000000000000000/10

He's one of the best looking gay porn actors ever. I remember reading that he worked at Tower Records on Sunset for awhile.

I would lick his butthole for hours

He was beautiful.

Kristen Bjorn said he was polite and well-mannered.

No luck on which In the Life episode?

He was referred to as the Jason Priestley of gay porn

Had a thick Boston brogue

He was really inspiring to comfortably have sex with men on video when there were very few openly gay male celebrities, while looking like a co-star on a WB series.

YES PLEASE

yeah, he bottomed a lot

I was a young gayling in the early 90’s in Boston and he was definitely one of what they call the “A List” queens. Any gay Bostonian remember Michael Smith aka Dolly DePeyster and her dreadful gossip column? He ran with this crowd and was out a lot, I think he may have even been a bartender.

Anyways he was very pretty back then, this had to be 30 years ago, and I’m 50 so he’s gotta be in the neighborhood next to 60 by now. I’m pretty sure his name is Michael.

my first boyfriend went to BU and wouldn't mention seeing him at the gym

side bar - elder sage, you're only 50? the way that you talk about NYC in its glory days and retiring to Florida, I thought you were like 70. Ha!

Aww, thanks R18. I came out very young and though I’m not retired at 52 here in Tampa yet, it’s definitely a retirement from hectic single life the last 20 years scraping in NYC. I took a job at Club Cafe when I turned 16 so I got a head start in gay life very young. I remember being SO jealous of all the fun the older boys were having, and BOY do I not feel that way now! LMAO

Gorgeous man, my favorite of that era.

a sexy bottom

I’d see him at Chaps in Boston, very sexy in person but never had the guts to go up to him and say hi. I did fuck around with several of his gorgeous friends though!

I read something about him years ago. After he left porn and eventually landed back east he had less than zero interest in talking about his porn past and would you know right quick. I don't know if he was embarrassed or ashamed of it or what, but people who met him found out very fast not to bring it up.

Lots of people on other boards saying he was g4p and is now married with kids. I think that's utter bullshit.

Does anyone know his real name?

He was beautiful. But I thought he passed away.

Is he gay or g4p?

I can see nothing here.

Surely someone can remember!

Didn’t he write a book? That’s probably why he was on PBS maybe.

I’m pretty sure had to do with the porn business.

Saw him walking down Santa Monica Blvd decades ago.

Very handsome. Pretty short.

very short in fact

Looks adjacent.

Looks like a snack, or was

There was definitely press to the effect that he had died of AIDS, sometime back around 1995. I don't know whether it was true or not, but it was in the news.

we need to get to the bottom of this

What news outlets report on porn star deaths??

Gay sex dot com

Did he die of aids or is married with kids? Lol

The whole In The Life series is available at the link here if anyone cares to investigate.

R38, meet R28.

Phil died.

He shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary him, nor the years condemn. ... We will remember him.

shucks

The link at R28 is the final episode only, R39.

There was some heat between him and Zak Spears where they were playing cops, you could tell Phil totally wanted Zak to fuck him. Unfortunately it was an oral only scene. Still hot tho.

R38 Any sources to where you found this?

Surely there 's a scholarly website compiled by an obsessed eldergay somewhere which details when and how each erotic movie star died?

Phil Bradley must be on that list!

[quote]Surely there 's a scholarly website compiled by an obsessed eldergay somewhere which details when and how each erotic movie star died?

Sweetie, you're posting on it now...

I would put Phil Bradley alongside Kyle McKenna and Chris Rockway as the handsomest men ever in gay porn.

I bet ATKOL forum had all of this information on it.

More pictures....

Phil Bradley by all accounts was from New England and those stories about being a bartender before and after doing porn seem repeated enough to credit. SmutJunkie link above has comments from a poster saying PB was an alcoholic who finally turned his life around.....

Whoever Phil Bradley was he certainly managed to hide his tracks well. There simply isn't any information regarding real name, place of birth, DOB, etc... out there. Donnie Russo and other former co-stars may know something, but they aren't telling. Colt, Catalina and other studios he shot films for certainly had the basics in their records, but again no one is spilling that *T*.

The fact that so little is known about him après porn lends credence to the info that wanted nothing to remind him of his time with it. Sounds to me like he decided if his life was going to be a success he had to do everything in his power to wipe the slate on that part of his life clean.

He certainly made his mark

This is too funny. I worked at Club Cafe with Michael Smith and Billy Olsen. We all hung out at Chaps in Copley.

My buddy Danny ran the tanning salon downstairs.

I don't recognize this guy at all. Handsome. I'd remember if I met him.

No one has commented on how they know that’s deceased. Is this just a rumor?

He’s gay. He talks about his boyfriend dumping him because of meth on In the Life

Which episode, R53?

I would drink Sangria made with his ass sweat

Which show?

Do you have the direct link?

R51, yes I worked in the tanning salon, “Metropolitan Tanning” when it was upstairs, Danny was my boss then got sick and someone else stepped in. I also remember my older roommate HATED Olsen and Smith because he was so jealous of those two. We’d hang on our stoop on Shawmut Av. cruising the guys going to Mikes Gym. Sigh.

He had a very common name, real name was Micheal Bradley I believe.

That narrows it down

You all realize the whole premise of this is a total joke, right ? (Phil Bradley episode of In the Life? Oy)

But I'm always happy to talk about this guy. He was so fucking sexy. Masculine but just pretty enough.

^Still, there seems to be nothing online nowadays definitive about his death or current whereabouts. I am *certain* that the consensus in gay mags back in the mid-90's was that he had died of AIDS, like lots of other porn stars then, many of whom died JUST before medications were rolled out that helped men survive the infection. I remember the news that he had died because I always thought he was pretty sexy.

There are a lot of articles online about gay and straight porn stars from the 80s and 90s who have died and every major city has a gay periodical, so it would likely have been printed somewhere if it is true.

3/4 scale gay. 5'7" 140 lbs tops.

R64 you think this is 140 pounds?

The beanpole queens on here with their stick legs couldn't gain weight if they wanted to

Here it is. Go to the 18:20 mark.

They show old pics of him too which will make it obvious.

He's a nerdy bath house dwarf.

Some lucky guys went to a bathhouse and met Phil Bradley!

He's tiny on Tina.

I'd still lick his feet and ass for hours

Did he die or not?

Former meth addict here, ten years sober. If it was meth, he didn’t come back from it. I can count on one hand how many of my fellow users stayed sober the past two decades since that video aired- you have to remove yourself from the scene.

What was his ethnic/racial background? He's gorgeous. I guess no one knows since no one knows anything about him.

That’s him

R75, I’m guessing Irish-American, black Irish maybe? Like most of the posters here would agree, he was/is one of the most stunningly handsome pornstars ever.

I just watched a solo of his

He look Latin

I used to LOVE In the Life!!

I’d watch it secretly when my parents weren’t around . What a great TV series.

So happy the episodes are saved at UCLA

R80 as a Canadian gayling it was a secret pleasure of mine too. We also had a show called Cable 10% (later QTV) on the Rogers channel.

Hmm, he’s from New England, semi-swarthy, hairy, handsome...his ethnicity is Baldwin. I loved In The Life too. Remember when Lesley Gore hosted? That’s how I knew she was lesbian!

Was Sharon Gless drunk when she hosted this episode?

Phil Bradley is currently ranked 963 out of 13,664 total stars. —according to the Cocksuckers Guide: Gay Porn Star Directory

He looks good in that PBS show but it was 2006 just 9 years after his last movie (according to IMDB)

So I'm guessing he was born in the late 60s.

But is he still alive now?

I still think he looks as good as he possible could at his age, and even better since he's got some extra weight.

[quote] looks as good

Are you taking about his appearance in 2006? Or have you met him more recently?

PB looked good in that 2005/2006 dated clip. If he got off (and stayed away from meth), along with sticking to AIDs meds and leading a healthier lifestyle he may still be with us.

Many New England gay communities are insular as those in small towns. If Phil Bradley died word would have gotten out somehow even if only by local gossip.

Then again who knows... For ages people were trying to run Cully Holland (the hunk in music video "Voices Carry") to ground with no concrete answers. There were rumors he died of HIV/AIDS related issues, but nothing could be found anywhere. Finally several years ago word finally got out with confirmation Kevin Joseph Gallery died in 1991...

Many who worked with Phil Bradley (such as Donnie Russo) are still alive and likely would have heard something in back channels of porn community if the guy had died.

R89 LURVE me some Voices Carry!

It was filmed in the South End of Boston on my street. Nothing worse than being in an abusive relationship with a HAWT guy, I’ve had a few! LOL When I was in hair school in Kenmore Sq. I saw Aimee at the “Rat” Rathskeller Bar and decades later did a double take and brought me right back- when I saw her in this video because the whole stage and bar setup was identical in every way.

Phil just couldnt keep it up

built like a tank

R92 I guess they're the glasses he wore IRL

I had this scene on VHS and probably jerked off to it over a hundred times (TMI?) with Phil showing Aaron Austin the ropes. The best shot you'll find of Phil's asshole anywhere at 12:23

Aaron: "You think you'll have to eat ass too?"

Phil: "Probably."

Phil had a fabulous body but I though his penis head seemed off-centre.

For being openly gay, he didn’t a lot of kissing or eating ass in his movies.

All I know is that if Phil is dead, really hope he's not haunting this thread. Mary!!

He was a star

There is a fuckton of Rich Burns in various states of undress on Internet. Much of it is on FB so cannot link.

Can search with "Insta-heyrichray" for more.

he's unrelated

R95, hot scene but the music is so cheesy

R100 here....

Posted in wrong thread, please disregard and carry on.

r102, that struck me too

Phil sucking on Steve Regis's toes while he fucked him was the first time I'd seen a guy do that in porn

Steve Regis, huge muscle mo, shame he died

I wonder who would know what happened to him and where he currently is?

He was Montrealian

Carlos; Kristen Bjorn Print Model Name

R108

No, don't believe that is correct.

On a website Kristen Bjorn (IIRC) talks about first shoot Phil Bradley was supposed to do for him in Montreal. He was turned away at the border because of some "other problems" Mr. Bjorn had previously with actors/models. On second attempt things went smoothly.....

This would not have happened if Phil Bradley was a resident of Montreal and Canadian citizen.

those were the days

R107

Same persons who would know about any of the various porn actors or models whose names appear in the litany of "WHET" (instead of WEHT) threads.

Other porn actors/models, those who handled the administrative nuts and bolts for porn studios or models (contracts, payroll, talent scouts, etc..., directors, producers, photographers.... Of them all the latter people would have at least Phil Bradley's real name and other information such as DOB because it would be needed on contracts, tax filings, etc....

Since it was mentioned in this thread those involved with that "In The Life" segment certainly also at least know PB's real name and so forth because he would have had to sign various consent forms.

As with so many porn actors or models who seemingly have vanished off face of earth it is highly likely people do know who and where they are, even if in their graves. They just don't see it as any of their business putting other people's personal business out on internet.

Phil Bradley (billed as "Phillippe Bradly") was in Bjorn's "Montreal Men" with DL fave Rod Majors (aka Matt Sanchez, and billed as "PIerre La Branche.") They didn't do any scenes together.

Montreal Men, scene-2, was his best performance on screen.

He was underused by Kristen Bjorn. Threesomes are always frustrating and lame.

There aren't any scenes that focus on worshipping every inch of Phil's body like some other guys in Bjorn films. He's just shoe-horned into group scenes that could be anyone.

R114 he appears in a duo in the same movie but it's less effective than the group scene

This thread is a good example why I don't usually read sex/porn threads because reading about Phil Bradley is FRUSTRATING

Donnie Russo is still in same place he's been for years in Brooklyn, someone drop him a line and see if he knows anything about Phil Bradley.

Call him up!

Donnie lost track of him years ago. They were hookup buddies when Donnie lived in Boston. Guess we’ll never know.

Donnie, oh, Donnie. . .

Don’t kill me for bumping this…anyone have any info on Phil? At least we know he was among the living in 2005 when the In the Life episode was initially produced/aired.

A fabulous performer with such a handsome face (but an unfortunately unbalanced penis).

That is not Phil Bradley in In The Life ...

IAFD has no information on Phil dying. Not that it’s accurate, but they somehow find out and post it on their site.

[quote] There was some heat between him and Zak Spears where they were playing cops, you could tell Phil totally wanted Zak to fuck him.

Zak said in an interview that he got along great with Phil and were really into each other in their scene. Though neither of them cared for co-star Greg Ross.

R123 Did you watch the episode? It is absolutely him.

R124 I don't know about IAFD being very accurate; I've checked on a lot of my favorite (dead) stars, & none of them is listed as dead, even though they are for sure.

I hope Phil/Mike is doing ok, but the odds don't seem to be in his favor.

R126, it doesn't look like him to me

Phil Bradley and Aaron Austin. Bach and Donna Summer.

How many times is Phil Bradley in that documentary? Just wondering so I don't have to watch the whole thing.

Just the 1 time for a few seconds in that 1 episode?

He’s in a segment, then they profile a few other guys, then they talk to him again, outdoors.

R127, you are an idiot. That is definitely him.

There is no proof that that is him in the documentary...

I saw him enough in person when I lived in Boston, it’s definitely him in the video.

Wow I’m tugging on some very old brain cells here! There was a few summers that Boston’s 1270 Bar turned into “Security Maximum”, this had to be 90-93 and the only reason I didn’t approach him was because I was losing hair and all my self confidence along with it. He was SHORT. Definitely a breathtaking guy. There was a beefier guy named Anthony that he hung out with. I nailed Anthony once, he was a much sexier guy.

There was this fabulous drug dealer that would sell ecstacy that looked like children’s orange Bayer Aspirin straight from Holland. Wow those were some good times.

So, we can now pin Phil Bradley's passing as post-1993.

Phil was devoon.

R135 post 1995, as that was when the In The Life episode was filmed.

Post 1997

Is he in this video?

It isn't arranged alphabetically or chronologically.

Aside from the In The Life documentary, are there any other filmed Phil Bradley interviews?

Great documentary

That's not him in it

Bump

What does everyone think of his voice?

Let's hear his "Over the Rainbow," R144.

Looks like Tom Cruise

Jfhhjj

Hhjio

R67, thanks

That is not him

OP, what was the other thread that was talking about Phil Bradley being in the documentary?

Here, R151.

Hairy or smooth?

Good episode

That ain't him

Where

Did Phil know Chi Chi Larue?

Falcon

Thought there'd be more fans

Someone told me his ass was fake

Smuck

Hjhjk

Looked good in leather

Hottest brunette ever

Anyone know his real name?

Mike something

Hguy

How many movies was he in?

He was tall

No, he wasn’t, R169.

Did he like sports?

He was str8

R172. We’re you the girl who proved it?

I just watched this episode all the way through and I am not positive if that is Phil Bradley or not.

Can anyone confirm this?

Does anyone else have doubts that it's him?

It ain't him

It’s clearly him. Not sure if the deniers choose this bc they’re butthurt that a gorgeous gay porn star could also be a meth head, or HIV+, or bc he’s most likely passed away by now & they can’t deal.

doesn't look much like him

Someone should try contacting Chi Chi Larue or Kristin Bjorn so we can find out what his real name is.

Phil looked like Ray Liotta

Bump

I want proof that's him

Who is Donnie (his hookup buddy from Boston?) What's his last name?

I want to see rare pictures

Just Google Phil Bradley gay porn.

The male Garbo

Hot.

He's

I wish someone could confirm whether he's still alive or not.

Bill

No more Phil fans?

Best butt ever

That is not Phil Bradley in R67 link. That guy's face looks nothing like Phil Bradley's. If that's the source for the DL lore that 90s porn star Phil Bradley appeared on PBS's "In the Life" then I think we can put that to bed. It's not him. Looks nothing like him.

I wish someone could confirm 100% that is Phil Bradley in that documentary.

Mike was hot

Bump

Who had a better ass: Phil Bradley or Joey Stefano?

Florida is where Phil Bradley lives now

Has there ever been a more handsome porn star than him?

Looked like Michael

[quote] Phil had a fabulous body but I though his penis head seemed off-centre.

Gayest comment I ever saw.

Phil was handsome but too skinny.

Too fem

Feminine? What was feminine about him?

His voice

Penis 2 small

Underrated

Looked like Matt Gunther

Nips

Butt

Gorgeous

Yes.

Did he look better than Kyle Mckenna?

Bump

What fat obsessed loon is filling this thread with one and two word replies to keep bumping it?

Give it a fucking rest, Mary, and eat your Wendyburger.

R214, I prefer PHILlie Cheese Steak.

I wish Kristin Bjorn would reply to my messages about Phil.

Bump

Masc

I wish I knew his real name

I get hahd when you pahk your dick in my ass.

Did he sing at all?

Why did his penis head look so odd?

[quote] Also, there comments that he was actually openly gay. Is this true?

He had gay sex in porn. I'd say that's openly gay. How is that not self evident? I mean we all know there are men in denial. But since when are we required to affirm their delusions?

He was a midget guido. Dime a dozen in Philly. Don't get the adulation.

R224 That guy in the middle has a nice fat cock I‘ll say.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM 100% THAT THAT IS PHIL BRADLEY IN THE PBS IN THE LIFE DOCUMENTARY?!?!?

Phil was not short

Did he ever have any solo scenes on film?

Underrated

He was a great singer

Beautiful man

Love him

Everything

Court

Flat ass

Big chest

Hott

The guy in the middle is Zak Spears.

Who is the other? I recognized Phil and Zak but can't think of the other guy's name

The other actor’s name was Greg Ross. He died from an asthma attack in 2002. He was only 38.

R240, thanks

Gorgeous man

Perfection

Hairy beast

Him or Kyle McKenna?

I prefer Phil.

Phil resides in Missouri

And you know this how, R247?

He is friends with my friend that lives there

Why did his penis head look so strange?

Biggest penis in porn ever

PLEASE SOMEONE FIND OUT WHAT HIS REAL NAME IS!

Best photo?

Bottom boy

More replies

That is definitely Phil in PBS’ In the Life. His voices matches, and the old photos they show of him are a dead ringer!

Do you think he passed of HIV? He probably became infected in the mid nineties, so he could have totally survived and still be around. Thoughts?

Is he Latino? He sure looks like he is based on R2’s pic. He even has a brown penis.

It could’ve gone either way for Phil because before Truvada and the cocktail, the only treatment to control HIV in the blood was the cancer med AZT.

Unfortunately it also damages the kidneys and organs, so a lot of men that seroconverted and carried the disease longer died before they weren’t able to take the meds that worked because their organs were failing., RIP.

I don’t believe the rumors he turned straight and has a wife and kids now, MARY!
