Tag Ericsson at FreshMenOnline.com

Fredrik Eklund (born 17 January 1977 in Stockholm) is a New York City real estate broker, who was formerly an IT entrepreneur in his native Sweden, and has also made a name for himself as a gay porn actor (under the pseudonym Tag Eriksson, also written Tag Ericsson) and most recently as a novelist!

He is the son of Klas Eklund, author of several books on economic subjects and a political thriller made into a TV-series, and chief economist of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken. He is a grandson of the famous actor couple Bengt Eklund (1925-1998) and Fylgia Zadig (1921-1994). Fredrik Eklund's older brother Sigge is a writer and webdesigner who has published three novels.

Fredrik Eklund studied at the Stockholm School of Economics, and also worked for the financial newspaper Finanstidningen. During his student days, he was involved in the Stockholm gay club scene, and with some friends started a club named "Billy". In 1999, he founded the internet company Humany, with his father and former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt on the board, among others. Eklund was the CEO and had 45 employees at the age of 23. Impressive or what?

With the passing of the IT boom, he started a music production company, Cave Entertainment, for a year and published 8 song writers with #1 hits in Japan, Sweden and Billboard Latino. He then left Sweden for New York City, and entered a brief career in gay pornographic film under the pseudonym Tag Eriksson/Ericsson). A representative of a company producing gay porn, Jet Set Productions, having seen images of him on the internet, wrote him an e-mail asking if he wanted to make movies with them. After considering the offer for a long time, he decided to accept it "as an experiment", as a way to satisfy his own curiosity, and something to write about. He starred in the movie The Hole (2003), and for this role received a GayVN award for Best Solo scene. Eklund also appeared as the cover boy for gay pornographic magazine Freshmen March 2003 issue. Eklund is 6'4" tall, weighing 195 pounds and penis length 8 inches thick.

After his stint in pornography, he went into the real estate business in New York City and became vice president at the Chelsea office of the company JC DeNiro & Associates. In the presentation of Eklund on the corporate website, he is called "one of the city's best brokers, being quick, efficient and always on top of the market".

In March 2005, Eklund made his literary top 10 bestselling debut with a novel called Bananflugornas herre ("The Lord of the Banana Flies"), a story based on his experiences of the gay porn industry. The book will be released in Norway and Germany this spring. Because of the subject matter and the background of the author, it has received a considerable amount of publicity. The reviewer in the Swedish daily paper Svenska Dagbladet commented that the novel describes the choice of the author's alter ego to enter a career in porn as "a kind of salvation from a society trying to force him into the TV-night and suburban normality, a way to find the true self". Others have commented on the liberal and unashamed attitude towards pornography of the novel, uncommon in Sweden, where the view of pornography as a form of oppression is dominant in political discourse. An article author in the other large Swedish daily paper, Dagens Nyheter (presumably humourously) commented that he saw Eklund's work as a successful real estate broker as morally more dubious than his work in pornography.

The cover story of the October 2005 issue of Scanorama, Scandinavian Airlines's on-flight magazine, is about the life and career of Eklund with the title "Restless in Manhattan". According to this magazine, Eklund is currently living "with boyfriend Andres and dog Droopy in an apartment on West Ninth Street, New York."

Tag Erickson Ericcson...whatever is/was an "alright" actor but yeah he's probably better at whatever else it is that he does. PS thanks for the stalker-level information about Fredrik. I'm sure some porn-o-phile can definitely use that info.
