Since his indie gay film debut as Sean Paul Lockhart in the Charlie David mystery-drama, Judas Kiss, adult favorite Brent Corrigan has managed to make a new name for himself as a legit actor in a mixed bag of indie features including Sister Mary, Triple Crossed and now, the new romantic chiller, Truth. From the film’s trailer it looks like Lockhart gives a pretty convincing performance. He’s the apparently sweet, yet truly Jekyll-and-Hyde kind of guy who anyone might fall for — in this case writer-director-star Rob Moretti.
As an indie actor Lockhart has been hailed by no less than Variety as showing, “a boyishly magnetic charm that suggests a talent for irony and comedy.” His other legit credits include his cameo in Milk and appearances in The Big Gay Musical and Another Gay Sequel. He’s also starring in (yet another) upcoming gay vampire flick, Kissing Darkness and in (yes, another) gay mystery movie, The Dark Place (with Judas Kiss co-star Timo Descamps) — both coming out later this year.
Fans of the actor’s earlier work (vehicles such as The Porne Ultimatum, Getting Levi’s Johnson and F*** Me Raw — we just couldn’t resist dropping in a few titles) will be happy to hear that Corrigan has also just announced he will be returning to his adult roots and plans to now make both indie and adult films.
Out today on digital (and coming to DVD May 6th), Truth is this week’s WolfeOnDemand.com Movie of the Week. Watch the trailer above and then rent or download it directly from WolfeOnDemand.com.
How about we take this to the next level?

When all is said and done, Mr. Lockhart is a young man who had more pain and drama in his life than any sane person should expect (the Cobra Studio murder). He’s been trying to redefine himself, find his path and make a living along the way.
All this while fighting detractors and inner demons besides the usual complications that life throws at you. (he bares his soul on twitter from time to time)

Porn Stars are many times problematic. Drug use, destroyed families, or criminality, or abuse as a child. It is not easy to show your body parts being penetrated on screen. You need to be a little crazy to do it. That is MY personal opinion. It is a hypocritical opinion, I admit, because I am a consummer of porn.
Here in Brazil we have a saying: He is more lost than a dog on a moving day at home.

Cue all the Fangurls running in here screaming at Queerty for DARING to mention his porn past.

The movie looked like it would be an alright watch. Although the loving, intimate moments highlighted lacked depth as seems to be the case with many movies featuring gay male roles. HBO’s Looking seemed to get this aspect right most of the time I feel.
I don’t see any need to ignore or highlight his past work in porn: It does not make him exceptional in either a positive or negative way.

This movie looks as bad as a lot of the movies in the gay/lesbian section on netflix.
I’m a big fan of Brent Corrigan/SPL but if he really wanted to be taken serious as an actor now, he shouldn’t be in indie movies laying around in baby blue Andrew Christian briefs. To the casual observer this looks like it’s just a craft services table away from being high quality porn.
He should be trying to nab small roles, any roles, in legitimate TV/film projects and work his way up from the bottom (ahem) like everyone else.

I do love SPL’s raspy, bedroom voice.

@Apparatus: He also needs to stop with the Cam shows. I mean, you say you are trying to move past your porn career, but you’re still doing it??! WTF. If he want’s to be taken seriously and really get a good career, he has to stop. I mean, how many successful movie/TV Actors are Porn stars who are still making porn?

@Darreyl102: Why plenty of successful actors do porn. George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, etc. XD

@QuintoLover: LOL!
