Q&A
Well, hello dolly!
BY CHRIS WRIGHT

In the world of gay porn, nobody is bigger than Jeff Stryker. The actor’s sizable, erm, talent has not only taken him to the top of the adult-entertainment industry, it’s made him a one-man marketing empire. Most famously, Stryker was the inspiration for — actually, the mold for — what he describes as "the biggest-selling dildo in the history of the world." Now, for $59.95, fans can take home the anatomically correct Jeff Stryker Action Figure, complete with a scaled-down version of what made him famous in the first place (visit www.jeffstryker.info). Stryker spoke with us from his home in Los Angeles.

Q: I have a confession — I’ve never heard of you.

A: What rock have you been hiding under? You live a protected life.

Q: How many films have you made?

A: Probably 30, over a 15-year period.

Q: Some people do that many in a year.

A: In a month. I’ve been real selective. I want each movie I’m in to be like Ben-Hur.

Q: Movies of epic proportions.

A: Exactly.

Q: Any personal favorites?

A: Hard Times is a very good one.

Q: Why?

A: It’s just a well-shot movie. It deals with the plays I did around the US, stuff like that. And it had some hot sex.

Q: You did theater?

A: Yeah. It was also called Hard Times.

Q: After the Dickens novel?

A: It’s a dark prison comedy. It gave me the opportunity to get fully naked and dance on stage.

Q: So you’ve really branched out?

A: Right now, I have a company that’s editing a reality show which we expect to be the hottest thing on television.

Q: And you have a country-Western CD?

A: Oh yeah, Pop You in the Pooper.

Q: Which is the name of a song on the CD. How does the refrain go?

A: "Hey buddy, you say you’re straight. That’s great, well, you oughta try something new. I gotta wad to drop on your loading dock, delivery in the rear. So buddy, let’s play when the wife’s away, let me get you another beer."

Q: Is it selling?

A: Really well. Well, we haven’t marketed it properly yet. I have an autobiography coming out.

Q: An autobiography?

A: We’ve been working on it a year and a half now. It’s 90 percent finished. They want me to add more sex, but it’s really tough, because, you know, movies are movies — they expect to hear these wonderful sex stories, and they’re just not there.

Q: Like being a carpenter — you don’t want to go home at night and build bookshelves.

A: Like that, yeah.

Q: Is there anything you haven’t done?

A: Right now, I’m trying to cross over into major motion pictures. The hard part is, I’ve had so much success in adult movies.

Q: You’ve been typecast.

A: I have. What people don’t realize is that a movie is a movie.

Q: I suppose a skeptic might argue that your attributes may not translate into, say, a psychological thriller.

A: I think also that adult videos are so taboo. I’m the King of Porn, and there’s no way for them to hide that.

Q: There are worse things than being the King of Porn.

A: I’m really happy I’ve reached the status I have, but I need to grow. I’d like to do some action-adventure.

Q: Which brings us to the action figure. Yours isn’t the only celebrity doll out there.

A: No, they even have a Bush doll.

Q: I wouldn’t mind seeing what’s down his flight suit.

A: I’ve already done that. He has nothing. It’s pretty pathetic when your president has no balls.

Q: How did your doll come about?

A: Actually, the person who wrote the song, Jimmy Joe, wanted to make a life-size Jeff Stryker that everyone could have at home and make love to, but I thought it better to make a 12-inch version. It’s a lot easier to hide away.

Q: Are you happy with the resemblance?

A: It’s uncanny. They did an excellent job. It took over a year to create.

Q: It has "life-like skin" and movable parts.

A: It moves just like a human, even the penis is totally posable.

Q: Does it have kung fu grip?

A: No. I think it expects someone else to take care of it.

Q: If you don’t mind my asking, how big are you in real life?

A: It’s about 10 to 11 inches long and nine inches in circumference.

Q: Are there any disadvantages to that?

A: Not really.

Q: Bastard.

A: Nope, none that I can think of.
