The Matinee Idol – (1995) Director: Gino Colbert

Speaking of Hank Hightower…..

I’ve sold this tape at least 3 times – the top pic is the actual big box from what I sold; below one of the boxless cassettes.
From my notes: Ken Ryker is The Matinee Idol, a Hollywood heartthrob with a dark past: he starred in gay porn before making it in the straight world. The plot concerns the nefarious desire of a tabloid journalist (shady Rob Cryston) to out Ryker and destroy his career. First scene you are teased with a naked Ryker, but he has to leave the set of the porno movie – poor hairy hunk Hank Hightower must fill in and give oral to Vince Rockland; then hairy legs in the air!”

Hank’s acting isn’t bad, but his co-stars? especially when they get to the sex part!

the sexy dialogue – at the height of 90’s dirty-talking porno guys –
“do that”
“you want me to do that?”
“yeah, do that!”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah!”

YorjYefferson’s The Matinee Idol review on reddit

if you don’t get the title reference, check out – I’m Ryan Idol!

How come I never noticed Hank’s tattoo? Nevermind – but one of my fave Hank Hightower scenes is the one above with Donnie Russo, from Total Corruption (1993). I was wondering how early in Hank’s career this was, and found out 1993 seems to be the beginning of his porno work, with 5 videos released – and 3 of them with Donnie Russo! Perhaps this was his first? If you haven’t clicked the video clip yet, notice at the onset when the narrating rookie cop seemed surprised to find out men hustle sex for money. Oh, rookie!

YorjYefferson’s Total Corruption review (thank you for not adding the “1” after the title, even though there is a Total Corruption 2 – I also prefer original titles)

Hank Hightower (AKA Hank Tower)’s 1993 output:

• TOTAL CORRUPTION – Cop (Donnie) + hustler (Hank)
• Righteous Revenge – Daddy (Donnie) + leather cuffed (Hank)
• Romeo & Julian: A Love Story – 10-man orgy scene (but no Hank/Donnie pairing?)
• Obsessively Compulsive – no Donnie
• Rags to Riches – no Donnie

In all, I think they did 10-12 movies together, but alas I couldn’t DID find Righteous Revenge from the same year – thanks to YorjYefferson and his Righteous Revenge review.

be forewarned – this has NO SEX – just the capture of Hank and the chance for Donnie and Hank to show their acting chops (with minimal help from Dallas Taylor – but he’s a hairy blond, so we give him a pass)

OK, OK! If you actually watched the entire clip – good for you – let’s dip into 1994 for what I think is a better scene with the pair, and we get to spend a few minutes admiring their CONSTRUCTION MEN’s OUTFITS (Donnie, tell me you still have that shirt!) before any action takes place.

Faultline (1994) – Hank does his best to resist…. but can he? Do they get interrupted? Do I love Donnie dirty-talking while tit-licking and keeping his eyes on Hank’s cumshot at the end? (OOPs, did I ruin the plot? Not to worry, there’s more than what we see here.)

Faultline (1994)

of course there’s a boot shot!
