Adieu.
Sad news, Actor Jamie Gillis has passed away after a long fight with the devil that is cancer. If you don't know who this man was, go rent Misty Beethoven now and watch him. He was a REAL actor (and for anyone who's ever seen a porn, you know exactly what I'm talking about.) Imagine if Richard Gere and Al Pacino had a baby... and then that baby, genius and all, did porn.
He was handsome, smart, warm and funny, and was fluent in French. He could have easily succeeded in mainstream films but thankfully, the porn industry got him. He was one of the few gems we are lucky to have in our crown. Not only was Gillis one of the most prolific and greatest porn actors of all time, but he is the father of the gonzo genre. Bang Bus isn't new, Kids. Jamie Gillis did it first and he did it RIGHT. In a LIMO cruising the streets of Las Vegas in 1989 (On the Prowl).
As a pornclerk, I love telling customers about him and sharing his movies with them. Most people have forgotten about the Golden Age of Porn, and I love selling something that's made with care and quality. With the amount of garbage that's being produced right now, it rarely happens anymore.
Thank you for years of joy, Mr. Gillis. My condolences to his friends and family.
Misty Beethoven: What's the biggest difference between New York and Rome?
Seymour Love: There aren't as many Italians in Rome.
