I started working with Erik Grant a few years ago. He was in great movies such as Manhattan Heat and Fire Island Cruising 7 & 8. People responded right away to his hot, lean body and bright blue eyes. He is more of a top and he bottoms for the first time in La Dolce Vita. He is not really used to it, but I hope to work with him more on it. I think he could be just as great of a bottom and he is currently a fantastic top. He’s also a real sweetheart and I had fun recently when he joined us in Philadelphia to premiere the documentary, More Dangerous.

And now, Heather has her way with Erik for a little Q and A:

What interests you in working for Lucas Entertainment?
I really like the way that Michael puts his heart into his productions.

What attracted you to doing La Dolce Vita?
This movie is much different than most others. It really has a story line to it and some hot steamy sex. So why not?

What did you like most about the experience?
Definitely the fashion show with Kevin Aviance!

What is your character?
Well, I am a model in the fashion show, and then I have sex in a sex club. So I guess you could say that my character is a slut.

Describe your scene.
My scene was with Cole Ryan and there were about 4-5 others watching and jerking off near us. And… Well…. I guess you have to watch the movie to find out

What was your favorite moment while working on La Dolce Vita?
Again, I have to say the fashion show.

How do you think this will impact your porn career?
I guess only time will tell …

Former pornstar turned producer Chris Steele has quit his position as Falcon’s Director of Productions. This announcement came as a surprise for many people because he was recently interviewed and had even invited his guest to visit him at the Falcon office as well as offering a partnership with MuscleService for a new production. Pornstar agent, David Forest, confirmed this news as well as Chris e-mailed him last Tuesday of his departure.

Ashton Star — Falcon Studios’ gorgeous new exclusive — is the epitome of the blonde surfer boy aesthetic that Falcon helped make popular in the 1980s with stars like Kevin Williams and Leo Ford. But what makes this sexy young ingénue tick (and what gets his dick hard)? He got In The Chair With Markus Ram to find out.

Where are you from, and how did you get started in porn?

I’m originally from the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, and got into porn to try and get some excitement in my life. I’m a reserved kind of guy, but I always thought that I would do porn. Sure enough, after I came out at 19, I was doing porn three months later.

How was your model name created? Did you create it or did someone else?

I came up with Ashton Star by writing down a bunch of first names that I liked, and last names that were pseudo-sexual and cheesy. I originally wanted to go by my crush’s name, Johnny Angel, but was afraid he might find out.

How did you come to work for Falcon? Who “discovered” you?

I found Chad Hunt’s profile on MySpace.com and asked him if there were any porn companies he would recommend. He gave me Chris Steele’s e-mail and told me to contact him. I never got to thank Chad, so if he’s reading this, I want to let him know that I really appreciated his help!

What was the thing you remember most about filming Dripping Wet?

What I remember most is the guys I got to work with. Everyone was so sweet to me. I was extremely nervous beforehand. By the time I actually got there I wanted to hide under the bed so they couldn’t find me. But the night before my scene, Carter Longway got the crew together to talk to me and help calm me down … which was really nice of him to do.

I heard that the temperature was pretty hot during the filming. Did the heat affect you?

Although I thought I was going to pass out at one point, everyone on set was so nice about getting us drinks and food; even wiping our sweat. I wish I always had people alongside my bed to do these things for me. I mean, yeah it was hot, but if you can’t stand the heat get out of my ass. (Laughs.)

Do you prefer doing one-on-one or group scenes?

Since Dripping Wet was my first film I felt much more comfortable doing a group scene with so many other first-timers. A group scene is much more sexual and lust-driven while a one-on-one scene involves a lot more passion and intimacy.

I had never done a group scene on- or off-screen, so it was definitely an experience. It was so hot to step back and look around and see guys fucking all around me. Hopefully there will be more to come.

If it won’t get you into trouble by telling me, which one of your co-stars did you most want to take home for the night?

Hands down, that would be Carter Longway. The boy is an absolute sweetheart. I never got to take him home for the night, but there is always hope.

Do you have a preference for being top or bottom on film? How about in your personal life?

On film I feel that I’m not quite sure of what my niche is just yet. But as for my personal life … well, you will have to find that out for yourself.

What kind of guy do you like to get fucked by when you bottom?

When I bottom for a guy, I have to be into him. And he needs to be someone that I would be willing to do it with off-screen. Also, I think that if you are getting the chance to plow your huge cock in me, the least you could do is be a gentlemen.

What kind of guy do you like to fuck when you are a top?

I LOVE super-skinny guys. A nice, tall, lean Italian soccer player or maybe a nice little twinky “Emo” kind of boy would be my ideal.

What is the thing you enjoy most about doing adult videos?

I enjoy getting to meet awesome people and see places I would never have gotten to see.

Many people have misconceptions about this business, but it has been one of the best experiences of my life. The people I’ve met have all been amazing. Also, getting to meet Roman Heart was great because he was probably the only porn star I knew by name before going into the business.

Are you currently single, or dating anyone?

Single … I’ve never dated before.

What do your friends think about your porn work?

They don’t know, so shh … don’t tell.

What do you like to do for fun when you’re not filming videos for Falcon?

I love working out, running, yoga, lifting, swimming, soccer … it always puts me in a better mood. I also love to bake and am at school studying to become a pastry chef.

What’s your favorite food when you are being bad and pigging out?

Put chocolate on anything and I’ll eat it.

What music are you currently listening to in your iPod?

Right now I’m listening to Panic! at the Disco, Ben Kweller, Matt Nathanson, Franz Ferdinand, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Guster. Oh yeah … I pretty much keep the soundtrack to the musical “Wicked” on replay all day long too.

Jason Ridge is wonderful, sweet, very sensitive, and charming. He’s got one of the most beautiful faces in biz and I’ve wanted to work with Jason for years now. We had chatted over email several times before about working together, but he was under contract. He emailed me once again when he was able to work with me and the rest is history. I’m happy to say that he was everything I hoped he would be.

And now, Heather has her way with Jason for a little Q and A:

What interested you in working for Lucas Entertainment?
I’ve always respected Michael’s work ethic and how he stood out from the crowd. I admired him from afar, waiting one day to work on one of his epic projects, so when I was asked, of course I couldn’t say no. I actually grew my hair back just in case Lucas would want me for the upcoming project.

What was your experience working with Michael?
I have a much deeper respect for the man. You have to give him credit where credit is due. He has a vision and he sets forth to accomplish it. That is what I will carry with me for my future endeavors.

What attracted you to doing La Dolce Vita?
I’m an actor first before sex and have had training as an actor. I wish larger roles would come my way in porn, and my character in La Dolce Vita was a fun spirited guy who had everything except for true love. He was a player all the way to the end. I enjoyed dressing the part as well.

What did you like most about the experience?
I really liked being in New York and meeting all of the amazing cast and crew. I even formed some new friendships in the process.

What is your character?
My character’s name is Nick Cameron, a very wealthy playboy type. Michael Lucas’ character has been after me for a very long time, but I’m not the ready to settle down type and am just looking for the next hook up.

Describe your scene.
Most of the scene takes place at the end of the runway show and in the limo on the way back to Derrick’s place for some hot action. This is Michael’s opportunity to finally have sex with me through a three way and he gets what he wants.

What was your favorite moment while working on La Dolce Vita?
Besides running around New York with Michael, I got the chance to spend some time with Tony who wrote the script and did the camera work. He is an amazing guy and an awesome new friend. Plus I just can’t get over Jonathan Vargas.

How do you think this will impact your porn career?
It can only continue to bring good scripts my way and hot sex scenes.
