Brent Corrigan will be appearing for a free fan meet and greet at Park Street Books, Level 2, 44 Park St, Sydney on the 3rd of March 2017. In honour of this exciting event, we thought we would explore a few facts about him. Brent Corrigan is one of the most popular gay adult movie stars in the world. However did you know that he is also an actor, singer and a director? He loves to direct in mainstream, general, indie and short films. The first popular theatre he starred in was a musical in 2007 which was called “Didn’t This Used To Be Fun”. In mainstream releases, Brent Corrigan uses his real name Sean Lockhart.
In 2007, he starred in a comedy spoof titled “Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild”. Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
‘Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! is the 2008 sequel to the 2006 comedy Another Gay Movie. It features five cast members from the first movie: Jonah Blechman (Nico Hunter), Ashlie Atkinson (Dawn Muffler), Scott Thompson (Mr. Wilson), Stephanie McVay (Mrs. Hunter), and Andersen Gabrych. It was released in only seven theatres and ran for only 10 weeks before going to DVD. This as due to it’s negative reception in contrast to the first film which developed a small cult following.
Nancy Sinatra, who sang the song “Another Gay Sunshine Day” for the first film received special thanks. Singer RuPaul announced on his website that he and Lady Bunny had recorded a song for the soundtrack that would be released as a single, but the producers of the film ultimately scrapped that song and instead utilized a solo by Lady Bunny. The song was not released as a single, instead replaced by the song “The Clap” by Perez Hilton. The duet of RuPaul and Lady Bunny was later released as a bonus track on RuPaul’s album Champion.
The Plot:
Dorky Andy (Jake Mosser), flamboyant Nico (Jonah Blechman), Jock Jarod (Jimmy Clabots) and nerdy Griff (Aaron Michael Davies) reunite in Fort Lauderdale for spring break. The plot revolves around a “Gays Gone Wild!” contest to see who can have sex with the most guys during the duration of spring break. The winner will be crowned “Miss Gay Gone Wild”.
While Andy seems to have no problem getting men to have sex with him, Nico hasn’t been attracting men at all. This prompts Nico in a frequent fantasy sequence involving a merman (Brent Corrigan). Andy is troubled, however when he falls hard for Luis (Euriamis Losada), a charmingly handsome yet innocent virgin. Jarod and Griff are now are a couple and are conflicted over whether or not to enter the contest themselves. Meanwhile, a shallow trio by the name of Jasper (Will Wikle, Brand Lim and Isaac Webster) seem to be very anxious to win the contest by any means.
In a subplot, the guys meet Perez Hilton on an airplane and Hilton pursues a young priest to the bathroom who hits his head, turning him into a religious zealot trying to dispel the gay activities going on. He is later hit in the head again and changes back.’
In 2008, Sean Lockhart starred in a short movie named “Tell Me” and a movie named “In The Closet”. The Closet was directed by Jodi Wheeler. In the movie he plays a shy, awkward young man who has his first ever sexual encounter with an older, experienced and jaded man. Unlike other nights that were dark and odd, this time the passion is shared. Souls are exposed and secrets are ultimately revealed.
In 2008, Sean Lockhart starred in a movie named “Milk”. Milk is a 2008 American biographical film based on the life of gay rights activist and politician Harvey Milk. Harvey was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Milk is directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Dustin Lance Black. The movie starred Sean Penn as Milk and Josh Brolin as Dan White who was a city supervisor who assassinated Milk and Mayor George Moscone. The film was released to much acclaim. Milk earned numerous accolades from film critics and guilds. Milk also received eight Academy Award nominations. The awards that were won included Best Picture and two awards for Best Actor. Penn won the award for best leading role and Black won the award for Best Original Screenplay.
In 2009, Sean Lockhart starred in the Hustler comedy and musical “The Big Gay Musical”. Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
‘The Big Gay Musical is a 2009 gay-themed musical-comedy film written by Fred M. Caruso and co-directed by Caruso and Casper Andreas. The film follows a brief period in the lives of two young actors, one who is openly gay, the other closeted to his parents. The openly gay actor struggles with whether he should be sexually promiscuous or seek a life partner, while the closeted one wonders if he should come out to his conservative, religious parents.
Throughout the film, there are a series of musical numbers with tap dancing angels, a re-telling of the Genesis story protests from televangelists, a deprogramming camp that tries to turn gay kids straight. By the end of the film, the characters realize that life would be better if they just accepted themselves the way they are.
Plot: Paul (Daniel Robinson) and Eddie (Joey Dudding) have just begun previews of an Off-Broadway musical titled “Adam & Steve: Just the Way God Made ‘Em”. Their lives mimic those of the characters they are playing on stage, in that Paul is himself seeking the ideal male partner and Eddie finds that his religious upbringing conflicts with his homosexuality. After his boyfriend dumps him for being accused of having HIV, though he does not, Paul decides he is through with relationships and wants to be promiscuous, or as he so eloquently sung, “I wanna be a slut.”. Eddie, meanwhile decides he must finally tell his conservative parents that he is gay. Eddie comes out to his family, who do not accept the news well. Paul turns to the Internet for dates, but can’t even get a decent one-night stand. However, Paul continually bumps into a fan who has developed romantic feelings for him, and after a series of disastrous one night stands, he starts dating Michael at the end of the musical’s opening night. Eddie’s religious parents, on a different note, decide to attend the musical because of a promise they made to their son, even though they are appalled by homosexuality and the theme of the show. As the play goes on though, they begin to believe that maybe they judged their son too harshly, and come to accept the fact that he is gay. Eddie’s parents make up with him at the end of the show’s opening night.’
So these are just some of the mainstream features that Sean Lockhart starred in his early career and more good reasons you should catch up with him at 6pm on the 3rd of March at Park Street Books, Level 2, 44 Park Street, Sydney at the only free fan meet and greet for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras of 2017.
