Is Disney Star Garrett Clayton The Right Choice To Play Brent Corrigan In A Movie?

Brent Corrigan

Last week we reported the news about the Hollywood adaptation of the infamous case about the murder of the owner of Cobra Video Bryan Kocis and despite that big names like James Franco and Christian Slater are involved in the project it’s another name what’s causing an stir among porn fans. Garrett Clayton, a former Disney star who’s biggest credit to date is the movie Teen Beach Movie 2, landed the part of probably one of the biggest porn stars in recent years, the legendary Brent Corrigan.

Comparisons are odious, but there’s a general feeling that he may not be the right choice to play such beloved and recognizable face in porn. You have to remember that Garrett Clayton is supposed to portray him as Brent was in 2007, a fresh-faced twink and not the handsome man he is today. Mr. Clayton must know the feeling pretty well as he has often being called “the poor’s man Zac Efron” or just another Efron clone Disney had stored in case the original breaks. It must be tough to live under the shadow of another actor just because you share a resemblance. We think we could give him the benefit of the doubt until we get to see his characterization of Brent in a trailer or actual footage, but since filming has only just begun last week, we’ll have to wait a considerable amount of time for that. In the meantime we have put together a special post to pit together the original and the future movie version of Brent Corrigan and we’ll let QC readers decide if this was a good casting choice or if they had preferred another actor being cast, or hey why not casting Brent to play Brent when he’s still active? Make the jump to see for yourself and don’t forget to tell us what you think in the comments!
