Gay-Porn Actor Tim Dax Says He Was Tricked Into Appearing In “Innocence of Muslims”


Till now Tim Dax was best known for the unique tattoos that covered most of his face, and appearances in everything from an episode of CSI (above) to a solo scene in the gay-porn flick Folsom Undercover. But now Dax, who calls himself “straight with a twist,”  has found himself caught up in an international political crisis after appearing in  the controversial propaganda film Innocence of Muslims, which many believe fueled anti-American demonstrations in the Middle East and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya.

Joe My God first reported on the involvement of Dax, 40, in the movie, which parodies the tenets of Islam and presents the prophet Muhammad as a womanizer, homosexual and child abuser. But like other performers in the “film,” Dax says on his blog that he had no idea what he was getting into when he agreed to take part:

“i can tell you i auditioned for a movie called Desert Storm that was about Ancient Warriors,” Dax wrote in an email to Joe My God. “My character was called Sampson on the paper with a few lines I got each day upon arriving on set. We never saw a full script or any lines after the day we shot them. Many questions were asked regarding absurdity of lines and situations.”

“Sam the producer who I believed to be, but not certain as Egyptian. His reply would always to work with what we were given as he wrote the script,” he added. “The clip that I saw part of today for the first time is questionable as to being my voice. The voice over work is dubious at best. a week and a half of work, 75 bucks a day & lunch. ; ) Can’t tell you anymore than that other than I’m am very much NOT anti muslim. one world one love. Tim.”
