I’m pretty sure this is Michael Munsey, who you may remember from such films as In Search of the Perfect Man, The Death of Scorpio and Dynamite . But who’s the other guy?
edit: adding MICHAEL MUNCIE as his AKA; as I knew I had posted about MUNCIE before….

I think the other guy is Glenn Steers !!
i don’t think so – not just because they never made a film together, but the hair is definitely wrong, the nose ( i know the photo is slightly distorted, but…)
Sorry about the wrong guessed LOL , wondering who this sexy man !!!???
He wasn’t handsome, but he did have an interesting, rugged face. Another rugged, obscure star from N.Y., that you should profile is Shawn/Sean Gregory. He also was in P.M. Productions “In Search of the Perfect Man”, “The Death of Scorpio”, as well as “All Tied Up”. Not to mention Arch Brown’s “Long Johns”, which was filmed on videotape.
Okay, BJ honey, I solved the mystery of who the other guy is, with Michael Munsey. I hope you appreciate all that I do for you, because frankly, I’m exhausted. ; )
It’s so great that we have Tumblr sites, and blogs like GEVI, Smut Junkies, and Gay Erotic Archives, to help us connect the dots. I knew I recognized this guy’s profile.
I’m sure you’ve seen him before. He’s a model for Target Studios. He sometimes appears with, or without a mustache. His name is BO GANTRY. According to GEVI, he’s only appeared in one porn loop for Target Studios, in 1977. It’s called “Behind the Barn aka Country Style†with another Target model, Dak.

Most of his work seems to have been in print. Aside from this ladder picture, I’ve also seen images of him on Tumblr sites, where he gets it on with a black guy. In those pictures, he also wears a mustache.
Have you ever gotten around to looking at Target Studios’ publication of, “Javelin #2: Fire Island†from 1976? That’s the one, with Bruno and Big Max/Mike Spanner, both nude on the front and back cover.

Bo Gantry was also featured in that picture magazine. In fact, the July 1976 issue of Mandate magazine, used Gantry’s work from “Javelin #2: Fire Island†for its cover, and at least two other pages.

Still not convinced? Here’s the smoking gun. Notice the walls in both pictures:

Yes, Mr prosecutor, I believe you’ve found our , ummmmm…. What was the question? Oh yes, amazing work, Sherlock!!!!!
CORRECTIONS: Oops! Let me set the record straight. I need to get my eyes checked. He didn’t wear a mustache, in the sex photos he did with a black guy. I’ve since come to learn, thanks once again to Tumblr, that the name of the magazine was “One on One No. 1†published by John Gamble:

Evidently in the 80’s, he went by the name of Roger Olson. GEVI isn’t aware of this. He made a couple of loops directed by John Gamble, both with Jack Hacker aka John Best. One of them is ‘Hot Delivery’, also starring Jayson MacBride:

The other is “Hot Latherâ€. I’ve seen pictures of this shower scene:

It’s pretty amazing, how subjects come around full circle. I know that you always visit Joe Gage’s website. We now know that “ladder sexâ€, is actually from a magazine called “Back Room No. 1â€. Eric Ryan is also in this. Scroll down to the 3rd through 8th pictures:

I presume that John Gamble also printed this. He’s pretty unheralded as a publisher/producer/director of gay porn. Could this possibly be a future subject for you?
Here are a couple of more pictures from that magazine. I can’t say that Eric Ryan has good fashion taste; a stripped turtleneck with a cowboy hat? Fucking on a ladder probably doesn’t come under the category of safe sex.

Besides Mandate magazine, Bo Gantry aka Roger Olson, was also on the cover of Playguy. With or without a mustache, or whatever name he used, I know we can both agree that he was a pretty hot looking guy:

dude, you are too much!! this stuff keeps you up at night, does it??
I actually was researching this photo and the set because it’s in an issue of John Gamble’s “Manhandlers” photo magazines, #4 to be precise. I knew Eric Ryan immediately, as well as Michael Munsey, but the third guy was eluding me. Thank you for the detective work!! It doesn’t seem to have been shot as an actual loop (or two, it seems like it would be a two-parter), or if it was, it’s not listed on GEVI and I can’t find any evidence of it in the usual places.
