The idea for this interview started at 2009's GAYVNs. I was lucky enough to sit two rows behind a very handsome, Scott Tanner. While I've enjoyed his porn quite a bit in the past, it was his strikingly handsome (dare I say Bond-esque, 007 good looks) in a jacket and a tie that raised my... interest. That night was magic for him as well, he and the rest of the Raging Stallion crew won a ton of awards for "To The Last Man." And quite frankly, this movie was technically and cinematically spectacular. It also was sexy as fuck with some damned good cum-producing scenes.

I wasn't sure how warm Scott Tanner would be to doing an interview with me. But I found him surprisingly unassuming, easy to talk to and funny as hell. Everything was great, until my account on Facebook got deleted without any warning. That's right, I lost every bit of the conversation we'd had. Oh, the devastation!
Trust me, there is nothing more embarrassing than writing a great porn stud, and saying, "Umm, you know that interview we started..."
Amazingly, Scott Tanner shrugged it off and said, "LOL... I'm here. Let's try again..."

Okay, I've gotta ask the pressing rumor about you at the moment: What happened to your eye? Sister Roma is claiming she threw battery acid in your eye! Would you like to set the record straight?
Roma and I have been friends for a few years now and we have become staples in the San Francisco gay community. Sometimes it can be a fight for attention when we are together. Recently, we went to a comedy show that was headlined by one of our friends and another local gay celebrity, Ali Mafi. He put me in the beginning of his act and I think it really got to Roma and she was so angry that she didn't get the attention she thought she deserved... so she took matters into her own hands.
Seriously though, I LOVE Roma, we were headed to see Ali Mafi perform. It was a very windy evening in San Francisco and some street trash blew into my face. Apparently a small piece of metal got lodged in my cornea. It was totally random and ridiculous. (I know!)... and Roma is actually innocent (sorta). It's been a nightmare and very uncomfortable, but I will be well soon enough. I just have to sport this patch for a little while.

So, you're telling me it was a sequin off of her habit? Typical. (Actually, I love Sister Roma so much too! She's got a good heart. It's a dirty one, but good. And that's what makes her joking online so funny.)
So how long does the doc say you have to sport the pirate look?
I have to wear the eyepatch until at least Monday.
Didn't you just finish shooting a new film the week before? (Phew! Talk about close timing... that would have been awful.)
Yeah. I just finished a film called, "Dirty" with Falcon/Mustang that starred myself, Ty LeBeouf, Blu Kennedy and a bunch of other guys... some of them pretty new. It's going to be a really great movie. The location was beautiful and my scene with Blu was amazing! We had a lot of fun filming it and I can't wait to see the end result.

Oooh. Blu. He's so damned sexy too. The two of you paired up sounds like some red-hot porn goodness. I can't wait!
Yes, we have known each other for years, but never really even brought up the idea of working together. We would run into each other here and there. We definitely had chemistry though and I never watch my scenes, but I am eager to see this one!
Hey, how long is a shoot typically on location. Is it a lot of waiting around in between your scenes or does time go fast?
There is A LOT of waiting. When you are shooting on location, whether it be inside or out, you have a lot of variables to deal with. Being that you are not in your home studio, you have to constantly reset lights, move locations at the last minute, due to sunlight or clouds or scheduling conflicts. And if one thing falls out of place in the schedule, then everyone scrambles to put it back together.

How do you occupy your time while waiting to film your scene? Do you take a book, an iPod or possibly cross-stitch patterns?
I talk a lot. And at this stage in the game, I know most of the models and the crew and everyone from the studios, so I tend to spend my time catching up with everyone. If not that, I work out.
I totally agree, it pays off to just catch up with everyone and be friendly, versus just being there for the job and watching the minutes tick by. So, with all of this experience in porn, what's the craziest thing you've spent your porn money on?
Ummm, I don't know! I don't really spend my money on crazy things. I spend it like anyone would with their paycheck. My money goes toward life... and making it better for myself and the people I love.
Very practical and wise. We should all be that way.
Well, I can't apologize for being practical!
