Male Celebrities Who Did the Deed to Get Film Roles

It's like the narration w=as written by AJ Benza.

I love how he keeps saying the producers fucking this stars wanted just one thing: OBEDIENCE.

I mean they even got John Gavin, the straightest man in Hollywood.

And there’s more…

I knew this was going to be trash and time turn it off when it said “FACES once engraved on the Hollywood Walk of Fame”.

Gary Cooper and Randolph Scott? What about Cary Grant?

Charlton Heston, John Wayne, and Ronald Reagan were all FAGS who sucked old man cock for jobs!

I’ve heard stories about Burt Lancaster before.

Timothee Chalamet. Thread closed.

Clint Eastwood "befriended" gay director Arthur Lubin in his younger days. Lubin put Eastwood under personal contract and kept him afloat financially

Clint Eastwood

Tom Cruise

Brad Pitt

Didn't Brad Pitt live with some soap opera producer?

James Dean "befriended" an older producer when he was starting out

Rock Hudson "befriended" a radio producer as a struggling actor and then slept with agent Henry Willson (you could do a whole thread on guys who slept with Willson)

Wilford Brimley

[quote]you could do a whole thread on guys who slept with Willson

We already did, in three parts

Willson openly bragged about having sex with Rock Hudson, Guy Madison, Tab Hunter, and some others. Although, in his memoir, Tab insists that he never slept with Willson or (anyone else) to get ahead, even though he was definitely helped by well-connected gay men early in his career. His good friend was gay agent Dick Clayton (who also "discovered" James Dean) and he got his break through gay actor Paul Guilfoyle (who was arrested for making passes at undercover cops in 1950) who recommended him for his breakthrough role in Island of Desire

But Tab says he never slept with anyone for roles and made it on talent alone. I'll let you decide if he's telling the truth or not

Well, that was a helpful link.

Burt Lancaster was like Jack Cassidy. Mostly straight but very ambitious, willing to let their dicks get sucked to get ahead.

There's an old story about Jack C. making somebody (Tennessee Williams?) crawl across the floor to get at his big one.

Zac Efron isn't some new phenomenon.

Colin Farrell was “discovered” by Kevin Spacey. Kevin saw him in a play or something and he introduced Farrell to Hollywood connections.

I’m sure over dinner and a firm handshake.

R17, and Joel Schumacher cast him in his breakthrough role. Hmmm

I did what I had to do. I'm not proud.

Any guy on Teen Wolf (allegedly)

Any young, hot guy on a Tyler Perry show (allegedly)

What about guys who did the deed but still didn't land the role because the director or producer was just a greedy whore.

More on the beddings of Burt…make of it what you will…

Here’s the link to the earlier Henry Willson thread

Cradley Booper

[quote]There's an old story about Jack C. making somebody (Tennessee Williams?) crawl across the floor to get at his big one.

It was Cole Porter. In her 2013 autobiography, ex-wife Shirley even confirmed Jack told her about the affair when they first started dating.

The YouTube video is AI CRAP.

R11 Yes. Thom Racina, who's worked at just about every soap on the air (and some no longer running) and was at General Hospital during the whole Luke and Laura craze - he apparently wrote some of the crazy sci fi stories that happened.

It's worth adding to the Cole Porter - Jack Cassidy story that Porter had been seriously injured in a horseback riding accident and could only get around on crutches. Cassidy knocked his crutches away and then backed across the room, ordering Porter to crawl to him if he wanted to suck his cock.

Nice guy.

Jack Cassidy sounds like he was a real pal…

Cassidy was incredibly talented -but had very few friends for some reason...

Macaulay Culkin

Weren’t Luke Perry and Jason Priestley both rumored to have used the casting couch to get their roles on BH 90210?

Frankly, I don't really care if someone used a casting couch to get a role -it doesn't truly define their sexuality. BUT I do care if they act like homophobes later on. Clark Gable comes to mind here... On the other side of the spectrum you have Clint Eastwood -who is conservative and a Republican, but he was an early supporter of marriage equality (evening signing on to a legal brief for a court case).

R32 Did Brian Austin Green use it?

Are we sure Cassidy didn't make Porter suck him off in order to get his crutches back?

Considering that Jason Priestly and Brian Austin Green are both supposedly well hung, I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T use the casting couch to get roles.

I heard Jimmy Stewart "spent the weekend" with Cole Porter in order to get cast in the lead role in Born to Dance with Eleanor Powell introducing the huge Cole Porter hit "Easy to Love".

It's not like Jimmy sang, or danced and his career was pretty new, so...

Jimmy Stewart was a whore, darlin'?!!!

Sizemeat Stewart!

r38, r39

[quote] Considering that Jason Priestly and Brian Austin Green are both supposedly well hung, I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T use the casting couch to get roles.

Considering that Green turned 17 around the time filming of BH90210 started, that would open an entirely different legal can of worms.

I could tell you a few stories

Austin Butler

Cassidy was also rumored to be quite hung (as are his sons).

Yeah r44, Shirley was known to boast about the size of her sons’ penises. I will die on that hill but she’s disgusting af.

r31 False

I'm going to go off on a fantasy tangent: Anyone know of any male celebrities who did the deed to get film (or TV) roles and decided that they really liked it and kept doing it just for fun?

You lookin at me..

How you say Daisy Duke's in Italiano?

Galitzine is allegedly a former Peter Thiel twink

Any truth to the rumor that Tom Cruise got the Risky Business role after a "private audition" with Geffen?

Seann William Scott was also linked to David Geffen

Nicholas Galitzine for sure—

r52 No

R53 Yes.

R53 oui bien sûr

R53 Si senor.

R53 Ja

I dunno R53, I can definitely see him trying to prove his heterosexuality to a casting director in order to secure a film role.

"The vagina is the one in the front, right? Is that the best way to hit her prostate?"

"I can't remember who showed up for my 'Weekend ' audition, but it seemed like the whole studio!"

I believe that old angelfire gossip list said Jason Priestly won the 90210 bent over a producer's desk. Whether that was Darren Starr or Aaron Spelling, I don't know.

There's a whole lotta befriending going on here

Not Robert Wagner!

R60 If true it must be Starr. Aaron Spelling isn’t gay.

According to some on here, he might be.

If Spelling was gay he was like 108 by the time 90210 came along. Doubt he would have been clapping cheeks with any of his potential stars.

Jamie Lee Curtis

See Zaar Row Mer Row?

[quote] Jack Cassidy sounds like he was a real pal…

Gee, maybe that fire wasn't an accident

[quote] Weren’t Luke Perry and Jason Priestley both rumored to have used the casting couch to get their roles on BH 90210?

Yes, but it was Tori Spelling with a huge strap-on

[quote] Cassidy was also rumored to be quite hung (as are his sons).

Susan Dey will be issuing a statement.

Ernie Borgnine?

Ryan Reynolds. Except he was already signed and cast, and then asked who he had to blow for work.

Nic Galitizine has moved on to younger goy princes

The original Lassie’s father.

Lassie's father??

NONE OF THOSE CUNTS HAD FLAVA!

I think Mark Wallberg. He was fit. He loved to take his clothes off. He had detonating chops, yet was given a chance.

Mark’s face is kind of busted though.

Antonio Sabato Jr.

R78 - His face is good enough, especially if he's not mugging to be "Bawston tuff." He's always had self-confidence and rizz to spare and when he was younger, he was quite handsome.

Does, OP. Does.

Okay but this one is complete nonsense…

😮 wow r82.

Saving this to watch later. To be honest, Bronson gave off rough trade vibes.

Robert Urich was "discovered" by Burt Reynolds

Stephen Boyd was "discovered" by Michael Redgrave

Wasn't Lee Majors "discovered" by Rock Hudson?

R85, yep

Lee Majors, who apparently had control and anger issues, always gave off G4P vibes.

Redford had a boyfriend in Denver. An acquaintance in a high rise on the west side of Cheesman Park could observe the balcony and the unshaded windows in the building next door and kept his coterie informed.

That's not on-topic for the thread, but....

Charlton Heston and James Franciscus had regular "tennis" dates and Heston has a lot of tales about his rough cruising with his stunt double for young trade. The former from an actor friend working in LA at the time and the latter from numerous people. Again, off-topic, but...

I remember Heston freaked out when Gore Vidal said he added some gay subtext to the Ben-Hur script

I wonder if Heston thought being head of the NRA would be the ultimate "masc move."

Actually r89, Director William Wyler told Gore Vidal he’ll let Stephen Boyd know but NOT to tell Charlton because he would freak out. That’s how Gore himself recounted it in great The Celluloid Closet documentary.

Was Heston protesting too much?

Supposedly John Travolta put out for Robert Stigwood

I think Travolta also put out for ABC execs to get the Kotter role

John Wesley Shipp allegedly offered up his feet to a foot fetishist who got him cast on Guiding Light according to this old DL thread.

R16 - You sound like a troll. How do you know how STRAIGHT Jack Cassidy was-Were you his psychotherapist?

It’s very well known not top-secret information that he was a connoisseur of cock.

Alec Bakdwin's fat cock opened a lot of doors for him.

But did it also open a few assholes?

[quote]R94: I think Travolta also put out for ABC execs to get the Kotter role

Welcome (bare)back, welcome (bare)back, welcome (bare)back.

Every boy between 16 and 8 who appeared on Disney and Nickelodeon in the 80s and 90s. Every. Single. One.

Or every single guy who was in a Lou Pearlman boy band

R97, I heard he was trade when he was working at Studio 54

Aaron Carter
