The star’s first acting gig was the 1970s adult film The Party at Kitty and Stud’s, which is a soft p**n movie helmed by Morton Lewis. Sharing in an interview with Playboy the actor shared that he was in a tough spot at that time, and was even underpaid in that movie.

Stating about his condition he shared, “I was also starving when I did it. I’d been bounced out of my apartment and had spent four nights in a row at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, trying to avoid the cops, trying to get some sleep, and keeping my pens and books in a 25-cent locker.”

“It was either do that movie or rob, someone because I was at the end —the very end — of my rope,” he added. “Instead of doing something desperate, I worked two days for $200 and got myself out of the bus station.” 

Though no one really focused on the movie at that time, it was released many years later and renamed Italian Stallion.
