Now, <i>that's</i> work.<br /><br />I saw his ad once on Rentboy and was surprised by how small a premium he commanded as a very well-known actor: $350 a session, which is maybe only twice what an unknown escort charges.<br /><br />Plus, he lived in NYC -- one of the most expensive places on the planet. Let's say he needed to earn $80,000 a year, which wouldn't go far in the city. That would require about 230 dates a year at $350 each -- or more than four a week, every week, year round. That takes a lot of hustling, unless you've got a steady clientele.<br /><br />Options are limited post-acting if you're going to continue working in the porn industry. You can try directing and producing. But there's far more competition today than there was when he entered the business nearly 20 years ago. Anyone with a reasonably good digital camera and a friend with web design skills can launch a company.<br /><br />Perhaps he'd been working outside the industry, trying to ease himself into a more traditional career. His many obituaries say he was a chemist in Hungary before he came to the U.S.<br /><br />In any case, as with any suicide, this is a sad story.Jim Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712746705871119746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-15832198904048473092013-02-05T18:54:06.745-05:002013-02-05T18:54:06.745-05:00He was the fodder of many a fantasy for me.
