Alec Powers Answers Questions from Fans
News
Do you have any new films coming out?
Yes, one is coming out in the fall starring myself, Stephane LaCoste and Zachery Scott. It was filmed around the Las Vegas and Lake Meade area. My particular scene was filmed in Mount Charleston. It involved Zachary Scott and myself chopping down trees shirtless when we notice this young boy, played by Stephane LaCoste, staring at us and groping himself as he watched us. After the kid realizes that we saw him, he tries to make a run for it, but of course just when he thinks he outran us, we catch him and do what we please with him... (I should mention that the trees were chopping had already died of natural causes. No trees were harmed in the making of this movie!)
I am also planning on doing another wrestling video for BG this fall.
My Personal Life
Where did you grow up?
I was born in El Paso, Texas, but I spent most of my childhood in France.
What is your ethnic background?
French.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to travel, scuba dive, bun gee jump, sky dive, snow board, etc. and I also loves cars, of which I have owned 35 since I turned 16. My current car is a Corvette and I love it.
Where do you live?
I live in Las Vegas, however I travel often to LA to visit my friends and family.What is your workout schedule like?
I work out three days on and one day off. I usually spend two hours in the gym on a split routine of chest/triceps, back/biceps, and then shoulders/legs. I drink a lot of protein shakes, and keep a low fat diet.
My Sexuality
When was your first gay experience?
My first gay experience was in my first film, when I was 18.Are you gay or straight?
I am bisexual. Ever since I started filming there have been a lot of rumours that I am straight. Quite frankly, like a lot of people that are 18 I spent a lot of time experimenting. Many guys enter the business thinking they are straight, and realize there is more to their sexuality than being gay or straight. After four years in the business I really believe that there are a lot of people that are bisexual. Even though there is a lot of pressure to be one way or the other in reality there are a lot of people that are comfortable with men or women.Are you a top or a bottom?
I am mostly a top, but can be versatile.What do you like to do sexually?
Consistent with my personal philosophy of only having safe sex, I prefer oral sex, but on occasion I am a top.Do you meet a lot of people that are just dealing with their sexuality?
Quite a bit. There is a lot of fear in the world about sex. It is very difficult to have healthy relationships if you are uncomfortable with your sexuality. All relationships begin and end with respect. A person should have sex with whomever he or she wants to have sex, and not because he or she is pressured to have sex.Do you feel strange since you are uncut?
I grew up in France, so it wasn't unusual to be uncut. One thing that you learn in this business is that everyone has their types. You quickly find out that the healthiest types of people have very broad tastes in looks and attributes. When you run into people that have very specific tastes such as cut/uncut, smooth/hairy, muscle tone, hair color and the sort it tells you that you're dealing with someone that is very uncomfortable with themselves. I never try to sell myself to people that are not into my type. No matter what type of body you have there will always be a large group of individuals that are into your type. One of the most popular magazines in the country is Bear magazine. There are a lot of guys into big masculine looking guys. Anyways, with so many people out there it is easiest to stick to the ones that are attracted to you.
The Porn Industry
Have you ever been pressured to have sex with someone you didn't want to have sex with?
Yes, it happens a lot in the porn industry. However, if you are firm and polite they usually back off. Although, I have found the pressure to sleep with someone oftentimes in the legitimate film industry than the adult film industry. I find that interesting because these are the same people that look down on adult films, yet they have no problem trying to overstep someone's sexual limits and boundaries in their private lives.Have you ever been stalked or blackmailed?
Yes. Unfortunately, it happens a lot in this business. So much that I don't even have a phone or a direct way to contact me. I have a close group of friends that let me live a normal life for a 22 year old. I like to be in close touch with my fans and friends, but unfortunately I've had to take some precautions for my safety and privacy.Are there a lot of drugs around in the business?
Yes. There may not be any drugs on set, but with a lot of guys they will pick up their check at the end of the day and go on a drug binge. I prefer to put my money in the bank or buy another car than stick it up my nose. There are a lot of people in the business that make a lot of money and have no car, no where to live, and have turned their backs on everyone that tried to help them. It's sad how many people I have worked with that have died of drug overdoses, and I tell everyone that gets into the business that if they get into the drugs their career will dead end and they will have nothing to show for it.Is it a very competitive business?
Yes, it is very competitive. A lot of people do one film and decide adult films is not what they want to do. Others do about six films and retire. Very few end up doing a lot of films. There really is no rhyme or reason as to why anyone succeeds or feels. It is basically up to the casting directors as to who is "in" and who is "out".Is there a lot of bad mouthing in the business?
Yes. I've never played that game, but I can't say that it doesn't hurt when I hear comments made about me from the studios. Very few studios read their fan mail or do any market research so basically their decisions are based more on their personal tastes with very little regard for the marketplace.What is the average pay to appear in a movie?
Pay varies a lot by who you are, whether you have an agent, to some extent what you do in a scene, and how many scenes you do. A rough estimate is $1,000 a scene, although there are porn stars who work for as low as $200 a scene.What are your favorite companies to work for.
Although I haven't been very active in films in the past few years, some great companies to work for are still Catalina, Studio 2000, and Falcon. They are respectful of their stars and produce a first quality product. I also enjoy working for BG Enterprises.What about Chi Chi LaRue?
She is still a friend of mine. She is very professional and a very talented director. She is very easy to work with. She is very hard working and has contributed a lot to the adult film industry and to a lot of charities. On a personal level she has her flaws, but so does everyone else on this planet. I prefer to think of her in terms of her professionalism.What should someone do to get into the business?
You can send your pictures to the studios, but there are three well known agents for porn stars that are reputable. If you e-mail me I will send you a model application and pass it on to my agent. It's generally best to have an agent because the pay is a lot better, you only work with reputable companies, and they make sure you are paid. When you negotiate with a company on your own you are generally at a disadvantage.How has the industry changed in the past few years?
We don't really have "porn stars" the way we used too. These days, many companies just want to find a few guy off the street pay him just a few hundred dollars, rather then creating well known personalities, who would then charge more money to appear in movies. So people tend to come and go more quickly than in the best, and there are fewer recognizable "big name" (and big bucks) stars.Do you have a question you would like me to answer?
