Tommy Gunn has been cast in an independent mainstream film playing a martial arts fighter.
Gunn, an AVN Award winner and co-host of the recent Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment Awards, said this latest film role will give him a chance to use some of his martial arts technique.
“I’ve been training for a number of projects so when this came along, I jumped at the opportunity to show what I can do,” he said.
“I love acting. But unfortunately in our industry, they don’t let you do more than a couple of takes so I’m usually walk away from a role not satisfied.”
The film, Duel of Legends, also features Ken Shamrock, a top fighter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship circuit.
Gunn’s role comes on the heels of his work on the Sci-Fi movie Vanity Vixens, which is being developed as a series for television.
“I contemplated doing mainstream acting, but I thought I’d get lost with those other actors, so I felt I could establish myself in some arena like adult and sharpen my teeth in front of the camera before I could try for mainstream,” he said.
Gunn plans to sign with a mainstream talent agency for work in that area, but said he remains devoted to his adult work.
“It’s a chance to show what I can do and maybe something will happen there, and may be it will or maybe it won’t but I’d like to take a chance.”
Gunn has also been tapped to do modeling for an upcoming video game where his movements will be recorded on computer for use by video animators on characters for the game.
“They’re keeping everything under wraps until it comes out so I can’t really say the name of the game.”
Although he keeps a busy shooting schedule, Gunn and his wife and fellow performer Rita Faltoyano are scheduled to attend the Erotica Expo in New Zealand next month.
“They want me to go onstage and perform a little dance routine like I used to do when I did a Chippendale’s type of show.”
Meanwhile, Gunn stars in a number of new releases and is featured in his own Web site, www.tommygunnxxx.com. He also heads his own company, Assassin Pictures.
