Many adult performers begin their career playing a character that is a version of themselves. After all, porn viewers are often familiar with the “audition/casting couch” genre, that rite-of-passage for a lot of entry-level porn star hopefuls involving “first-timer” studios that are little more than a couch or a hotel room, a camera and a ring light, and an inquisitive POV male talent asking a barrage of perhaps-too-intimate questions like “When did you lose your virginity?” and “How did you decide to do porn?” or “What’s the wildest thing you’ve done sexually?” etc.
The girl in question — in straight porn the male talents never go through this interrogation — answers the way she thinks may lead to further gigs, sometimes teasingly, other times awkwardly and very occasionally like a natural pro. However she handles the potentially cringe situation, though, she’s merely playing a part — the part of herself as someone who’s just crossing the mythical line between amateur and someone who does porn.
In Jane Wilde’s case, with Adult Time’s 2022 feature “Stars,” she got the rare chance to have a do-over. She got to play a much, much truer version of herself finding her way into the adult industry than in any casting video interview, and went on to receive the 2023 XBIZ award for Best Acting – Lead for her portrayal.
Sure, the character may have been renamed Julia, but nobody was ever not aware that the film was an unprecedented industry biopic, from an unflinching script by Wilde and Bree Mills showing how she turned the tables on an abusive situation to become a sex worker on her own terms.
Wilde was so involved in the telling of the sometimes harrowing story of how she escaped a predator who controlled her early foray into camming right out of high school, that she ended up receiving a co-directing credit with Mills.
“I didn’t go into the project with the directing title,” Wilde tells XBIZ at a booth at the Valley’s best French restaurant, Petit Trois. “The co-directing credit was given to me after the fact because the act of directing came very naturally in the case of ‘Stars.’ Because it was my story — I was the star, I wrote it. It’s like it all kind of just came together like a trifecta.”
A Serious Exercise in Self-Immersion
Wilde’s performance as her younger self, a serious exercise in self-immersion and cathartic reliving of some of the most difficult moments of her not-that-distant past, was heralded as almost unprecedented and deserving of the top acting accolade.
“I was shocked,” Wilde says. “I didn’t expect to win it. I mean, I don’t know what I expected. I’ve learned to keep my expectations low so I don’t get disappointed. I did not go into that evening thinking that I was going to leave with that award, if any. But I’m so grateful. It was one of the best moments of my life. I was sitting at the table with all my friends, and when my name got called, everyone started cheering so loud. And it was like, ‘Oh, I get to go on the stage and make a speech.’ It felt like an out of body experience.”
The recognition for her acting only rounded up Wilde’s stellar profile entering the sixth year of an ever-expanding career. That same night, she was also nominated for Best Supporting acting (for MissaX’s “One Last Kiss”), for Best Sex Scene — Feature Movie (for “Stars” and Wicked’s “Deranged”), for Best Sex Scene — Gonzo, for Best Sex Scene — All-Girl (twice), for Best Sex Scene — Trans, for Best Screenplay (for “Stars”) and, yes, for Female Performer of the Year (her third nod in four years of eligibility).
The self-induced emotional workout that was “Stars” — marking five years since her joining the industry at 19 in 2017 by memorializing the turbulent period preceding her decision to become a professional adult performer — gave Wilde the opportunity to reassess her career.
Sure, the intelligence and ambition that she displayed pretty much from the beginning — when the tiny, fiery former cam girl from Queens landed in California determined to out-slut the industry’s top supersluts and become legendary in the process — are still there. But having proven herself many times over, including with the recent acting accolade, the Wilde fearlessly trying escargot for the first time at Petit Trois (“I like it!”) and assessing her career moving forward is decidedly more reflective.
Last time Wilde gave us a lengthy interview, which she herself scheduled and arranged, with typical pluck, it was early 2020 and she had single-handedly self-produced her own showcase, the acclaimed “Jane Wilde is Agape,” released by Evil Angel.
“It’s crazy that when we were discussing that, it was not even the pandemic, it was right before,” Wilde reminisces. “So crazy. It’s really like a before and after. It’s not even comparable.”
What changed in those three years?
“What hasn’t changed is a more accurate question,” she laughs. “I’m almost 25 now. In general, that is just a huge change, and my personality, maturity, everything. But having to live through a pandemic, and having to accept that I can’t plan everything that happens in my life down to the day or the month that I’m going to do it, I learned that that’s not how the world works. And I always thought that that’s how my life was gonna be.”
One of the crucial ways in which Wilde thought her pre-pandemic life was endlessly sustainable was her career.
“I always thought that I was going to be in porn forever,” she admits. “I would not allow myself to think of an alternative or a future without it. I guess I was kind of codependent with this industry before the pandemic and not in a healthy way.”
The slowing down of life during most of 2020 forced the work-driven dynamo that is Jane Wilde to take time off. This in turn led to a lot of introspection, which eventually led to “Stars” but also to more personal realizations.
“The forced time off allowed me to figure out who I am as a person,” she reveals. “Because I didn’t know. So that’s been good. Some good came out of the bad.”
Life Beyond ‘Ultimate Slut’ Status
In hindsight, Wilde says she now feels she “kind of just jumped into this industry when I was 19, because I was getting out of a terrible situation and I didn’t know what else to do. And now I feel like I can finally take time to figure myself out.”
This led to a false belief that her only outlet for self expression was porn and nothing but porn, which is attested to in interviews from 2018 until 2020 and Wilde repeated as a mantra a single-minded desire to be “a true slut” and to out-gangbang role models like Adriana Chechik and Riley Reid.
“I look at their gangbangs and think that I can’t do that yet,” she told an interviewer in 2019. “I don’t feel that I can get to that level yet and exert that amount of energy but I will get there in time, I just need to practice and hype myself up.”
Wilde now realizes that she had conditioned herself to “not allow my brain to even conceive of an idea of me not being in this industry — whether I was 30, 35 or 40 years old.”
For her, the future was almost like a block, like a wall was put up.
“I wasn’t thinking about my future because I was scared to ever think about a time when I would not be actively in this industry, because then I was like, ‘Well, who am I?’ And that would force me to think about it and figure out who I am, when I didn’t know.”
Porn, turns out, had become her identity, she says, instead of “a very important part of my life — but not all I am. Porn is not everything about me.”
If porn was not the “end all, be all,” she asked herself, what was?
“So, that’s kind of been interesting to figure out,” she smiles. “I don’t have any intentions or plans to quit or leave at this time, but I know that there is going to be a time in the future when I want to pursue other things, or I don’t want to work anymore, or I want to have a family. And I’ve started to accept that. That’s okay. Now I know that it doesn’t mean that I’m quitting or a failure if I ever want to do other things with my life, basically.”
Wilde’s first major project post-pandemic was the groundbreaking “Stars,” where she took ownership of abuse that was done to her by a manipulative older man when she was a teenager. and she did it on her own terms.
Even before, while doing certain scenes, she had noticed a certain uneasiness in some of the dynamics. “I guess, any scene that I’ve done with a man, where there’s like, a mean vibe to it — I wouldn’t necessarily call it like triggered, but I would say that, you know, there’s definitely an aura of like, uncomfortableness around doing stuff like that. During those taboo-type scenes where there’s an element of a power exchange, a power dynamic, and the older male usually, is the one in power, and is kind of treating the female like the subordinate or disrespectfully, that definitely would make me feel a negative type of way,” she explains.
“When I was younger — like 19, and 20 even 21 — I couldn’t really recognize that,” she continues. “And I think I kind of would just tell myself, like, ‘it’s just acting, it’s, it’s just for fun.’ But is it really for fun if you’re not having fun? Doing ‘Stars’ on my own terms was one of the most important things I’ve done not just in this industry, but in my whole life. And that kind of started a whole healing journey that I’ve been on for almost a year.”
Wilde says she is “grateful for the experience, not just because it was so cool to make a film like that and get to star in it, but just to deal with that, for the first time in my life deal with that experience. I never had. I pushed it down.”
One of the controversial aspects of watching “Stars,” was its combination of explicit sex scenes — which obviously in porn are designed to arouse — bracketed among disturbing depictions of Wilde’s real-life abuse.
The performer-writer-director was very familiar with the complexities of the taboo subgenres, having starred in several scenarios for prestige labels such as Adult Time’s Pure Taboo. Those experiences made her have very insightful, illuminating opinions about a sometimes thorny topic.
Taboo content, she begins, “has become a very normalized thing. At the end of the day, the goal of every industry, not just porn, is to make money. That’s like the equivalent of success — making money. So at some point, I don’t know when, I don’t even think I was around when this happened, but somebody on some website, some tech person probably, discovered that that type of thing trends really well and makes people want to click on the scene and buy it and pay money. Those people, when they see fauxcest or step siblings or mom and dad stuff equals money, they may not be thinking about an individual person’s trauma. That’s not a negative thing on porn — industries are run by people that are not actually on the set doing what we do, and often there’s gonna be a disconnect there.
“The older I get, the more interesting I think it is,” Wilde continues. “I think that informed consent is the most important thing in this industry. I don’t just mean, ‘Oh, what are my boundaries for this sex scene.’ Before I agree to the scene — and we’re basically making a verbal contract — if you’re signing a contract, basically, without knowing who you’re working with, how long you’re going to be on set, what type of stuff you need to provide from your own wardrobe or your own personal items, etc., that’s not informed consent.”
A Personal and Professional Journey
Wilde admits she has been fortunate that most of the companies that she has worked for have been very professional, as have most people on her sets. Still she wishes the industry would not normalize things like not sending the shoot information until the day before.
“I know that when I’m going to set I want to be as prepared as possible,” she adds. “And mental preparation is a big part of that. If I want to put my wardrobe and my stuff back together two days before, I think I should be able to do that, so I don’t have to worry about it the day of or the night before.”
Wilde notes that for adult performers, those matters are “more sensitive than just showing up and modeling for eight hours and just posing without taking your clothes off. Doing a sex scene is much more intimate and strenuous on your body. It has the potential to cause more trauma — or it has also the potential to be a great experience with informed consent. Why can’t we strive to have a good experience for everyone involved.”
Wilde says she loves working with certain companies which really do their best to make sure it is a good experience, like Adult Time.
“I’ve worked with them for five years since I started,” she says. “And they’ve only gotten better — their standards are always getting higher. Every time I work with them. It’s just such a good experience. I know that if I need anything, I don’t need to be afraid that I’m going to be judged for asking for something.
As for the “super-slut” dreams of yore, Wilde has also put those in perspective. Nowadays, she is more likely to enthuse about her plans to put out a self-produced art zine with her writing and one of her recent passions, film photography.
“Like, I’m a hippie,” she says without affectation. “I just want to love people and express love and receive love.”
Still, she appreciates and is very kind to “super slut”-era Jane.
“I’m grateful for doing all of that, because that was a part of my journey, and discovering and figuring out who I am and what I want to do,” she adds. “I always wanted to be very legendary in this industry. And I believe that doing that extreme stuff definitely helped me achieve the goals that I wanted to reach. I got the awards. I got the recognition. I got the status with the fans.”
During her first three years, Wilde says she thought that her longevity in porn was the single most important thing in life.
“Seeing how somebody like Adriana or Riley kept upping the ante and kept doing more and more and, and people just couldn’t get enough of them,” she notes, “I definitely envisioned myself like that.”
But she adds that there are a lot of things that she did not realize about living that kind of lifestyle and just wanting to push herself harder and harder.
“You know, I’m not a superhero,” she reflects. “My body has done so much for me in this life, and I guess it’s a gift to be able to do certain things more easily than others. But I do have limits. And I have definitely reached them, not now, but just in general, I’ve reached them and I figured out what they are. Physical and mental both, they go hand in hand.”
Her body, she concludes, is like a temple.
“I don’t want to do anything that’s going to cause me pain when I don’t have to. I never would have thought that I would feel that way three years ago,” she laughs. “I would have been like, ‘suck it up’ because that’s what everybody around me was telling me, and I was always feeling like I needed to measure up to something or someone.”
Jane Wilde, recovering industry workaholic, says she is now finally “starting to be more okay with just going with the flow and just seeing what happens.”
And that might be the ultimate star move.

In 2009, a born-and-raised 24-year-old Angelena named Victoria was working at a branch of the Washington Mutual bank when a particularly chatty customer with industry ties suggested she should go into porn.
After some understandable trepidation, she told herself “Why not?” then shortened Victoria to Vicki and took the name of the bank as her surname.
“Fortunately Washington Mutual had just been acquired by Chase,” she tells XBIZ 14 years later, over delicious Texas-style tacos at a hip Highland Park joint. “Vicki Mutual would not have been a great porn name.”
Yes, over a decade later — she starts counting her time in porn officially from 2010, when she signed with an agency and started performing regularly — Vicki Chase is still here, still strong and promoting a brand new high-profile showcase: “Vicki Chase Ninfómana,” released by Evil Angel this week and directed by her longtime friend and associate Jonni Darkko.
“Ninfómana” is the second Darkko-helmed showcase for Chase, re-upping her relevance almost a decade after 2014’s career-defining “V for Vicki.”
“Jonni and I had a good relationship long before I chose him for ‘V of Vicki,’” Chase explains. “I did quite a bit of work for him from 2011 to 2014, so many POV, BJs, so many multiples… he really knows how to like bring out the sexual deviant out of me!”
At this point, Chase has literally done it all, as the almost 700 titles on her IAFD page attest, and with/for everyone. But Darkko’s signature gonzo style still has a special place in her heart.
“I just love Jonni’s style,” she confides. “He’s like, ‘Let’s start you out glamorous, beautiful. I love his style of shooting, where it’s like a photo shoot and I get to feel like glamorous supermodel — and then, before you know, you go totally crazy, you become a sexual beast. You’re there to. Do. It.”
Darkko, Chase adds, “is like the cheerleader. He tells you, ‘Nasty! The nastier the better! You’re like really nasty! Aaaghhhhh!” Right? I love it. Him and I have always had a really really good relationship as far as like creating some pretty epic stuff. I work well for him, he works well for me.”
Back in 2014, coming off a difficult year where she got divorced and left her agency — she has thrived a free agent since — Chase had very clear ideas of what she wanted for “V for Vicki.”
“I wanted a blowbang, but I wanted it to be a fantasy, where I am in a room full of firemen,” she reminisces, laughing. “Basically, I’m on fire and they gotta put me out! So I made sure that all the guys looked like firemen, you know — I got Ramon Nomar, Evan Stone, Alex Jones… I also wanted the biggest dicks — the biggest meat! That’s exactly what I said to Jonni.”
That showcase featured that epic fireman blowbang, a girl/girl/girl/girl scene with Skin Diamond, Dani Daniels and Ash Hollywood, a POV anal with Darkko, and a DP with Chris Strokes and Mick Blue.
“I did everything then to push the limits,” Chase says of the career landmark showcase. “I was pleased that everything worked out. It was it was an amazing piece of porn.”
This time around, for “Ninfómana,” Chase says she wanted to do “elevated versions” of each scene from her preceding showcase, except for the all-girl foursome.
“We didn’t do a girl/girl on this one. Jonni told me, ‘Let’s just focus on you. This should just be about you. What do you think?’ And I was like, ‘Okay, I can handle that,’” she laughs. “I just want all the guys that I want.”
Instead of the DP, “Ninfómana” features an airtight with Jax Slayher, Rob Piper and Richard Mann. The original’s POV was “elevated” by the inclusion of the legendary Brickzilla, whom she calls “one of the biggest guys in the business.”
For the souped-up deep throat — “I’m known for my oral skills,” Chase deadpans without conceit — Donny Sins, Hollywood Cash and Darkko lent their appendages. The anal scene features Damion Dayski, the in-demand “It Boy” Chase specifically wanted to work with. “We could only have him this day,” she says, “So we said, ‘Fuck it — it’s gonna be an anal scene. It’s gonna be hard.”
And then there was the gangbang. “It was a blowbang-turned-gangbang with all the fellas,” Chase boasts. “Seven guys!”
Comparing “V for Vicki” and “Ninfómana,” Chase notes that the 2023 showcase is more focused on showing off Darkko’s mastery of his chosen genre.
“Long-time fans will notice shot after shot of those things that Jonni knows how to get brilliantly, like in-your-face hardcore sex,” she enthuses. “Like, none of this frilly stuff. Sure, there’s him putting me in beautiful lingerie and makeup and doing little teases before the sex and a full glamour shoot. Jonni’s very happy now with his lighting and this new camera that he’s got. He just knows what he’s doing. So I’m like, ‘I’ll let you do your magic. I’m gonna do mine. And we’re just gonna — we’re just gonna have fun, you know?’
Under the Watchful Eyes of Frida and Selena
Growing up in a very traditional Mexican-American family and spending her youth between East Los Angeles and DTLA, Chase knew she wanted to be a star.
“I’ve always wanted to be a star,” she says, sitting now at an overpriced hipster tacos place in a gentrified stretch of Highland Park that she has known many incarnations before. “So I became a star.”
Among a family that kept all the Mexican traditions alive, young Victoria was mesmerized by Hollywood biopics of badass Latinas who conquered the art and entertainment worlds entirely in their own terms. Other hot girls may have their Marilyns and Bettie Pages, Chase’s guardian angels and muses are Frida Kahlo and Selena.
When Chase joined the porn circus, she discovered new muses and role models. “I remember Kistina Rose being at the top. And Ann Marie Rios. I read the Tera Patrick book and before that Jenna Jameson’s, which was the first time I ever picked up a book that was written by a porn star. And I was like, ‘Wow, this is amazing.’”
Afer reading Patrick’s 2009 memoir, “Sinner Takes All,” Chase thought she was “so cool and amazing that I even had a wet dream about it!”
Thinking back to those final days of the DVD box cover era, Chase pictures herself as “very much a new bird still coming in, kind of finding my ropes, seeing where I fit in. Like, what am I doing in this industry?”
Still, after jumping in, Chase found herself enjoying it. “It was the best job I ever had — ‘I can’t believe I’m getting paid for doing this!’-kind-of-great. It definitely beat being a bank teller or working at Victoria’s Secret or Levi’s outlets. I had a agent for four years, but after a while I felt that I knew the ropes and had done so much, made a name for myself. I knew who was who in the business, and I was known as a professional. So I never found another agent. LA Direct was my one and only agency that I worked with.”
In the 2010s, Chase elevated her career and brand by developing a network of directors and performers who sought her again and again. “I got to act with Ann Marie Rios, Kayden Kross, Jesse Jane, Riley Steele. I worked a lot with Digital Playground at the time. I really enjoyed working with Nacho Vidal, one of my favorites ever. Nacho is a real one. Robby D. — rest in peace — was very much a director that gave me my first solid chance at showcasing my acting, being able to carry a boy/girl scene by myself and giving me a shot. I wasn’t even a contract girl, but he definitely showed me a lot of respect and love by having me whenever he could.”
In early 2014, Chase hit a personal low point following a complicated divorce. She used the opportunity to refocus herself and her career. “I got out of that trauma and then I started coming into my own. I told myself, “Okay, 2014 — this is your year. I just felt like I had something to prove. A year later, following “V for Vicki,” she says, she started getting accolades and more and more recognition. “I had the fans really enjoying my performances, I was getting cast in big projects. I felt, I’m not gonna say ‘I made it,’ but I definitely am established as a known entertainer in this business, a known performer, someone known for hardcore scenes, professional, liked.”
‘I’m an Explorer’
About those “hardcore scenes”: Chase’s almost decade-and-a-half in porn has also been a journey of sexual exploration for herself, testing her own boundaries, and finding her own pleasure points.
“I was always curious about sex,” she says. “I remember wanting to know more and more. But of course, being Latina and Catholic, it’s like, ‘No, you gotta save yourself or your husband, and you’re supposed to get married, and you’re supposed to be like this and that.’ I never really subscribed to that. I was more like, ‘I don’t know if that’s for me.’ I’m not gonna say I wouldn’t like it, because I’m raised to believe that that’s what you should want, but I always questioned it.”
Because Chase, she wants to be crystal clear, loves sex. “And not just with one person,” she explains. “With porn, I was educating myself in sex. And that cannot happen with just one person — well, that’s not how I’m learning anyway. I was very much into exploring my sexuality with different partners. I didn’t see it as a bad thing, even though before I was under the impression that it’s a very shameful bad thing.”
Her traditional Mexican-American family still loomed large as the stereotypical voices in Chase’s head. “‘Oh, my God,’ I told myself. This is crazy. My parents are gonna kill me.’ And I was an adult already! I mean, sure, they don’t love it for me.”
For sure, her bilingual home — mom grew up in Los Angeles and speaks English, dad Spanish — had questions, like Are you okay? Are you on drugs? And, what the fuck is wrong with you?”
“And I was like, ‘I’m not on drugs. I’m healthy, happy, I’m making a very good living. I don’t ask you guys for anything, I’m able to sustain myself. And don’t worry, I’m happy,’” she replied. “And they were like, ‘Okay, if that’s the case, then we’ll leave it at that.’”
And so Chase started exploring. “I certainly had my muses coming in, like, oh my god, Kristina Rose, for example,” she says. “I was seeing her at the top of her game when I was coming in and wondering ‘What is she like? How are her performances like that?’ I studied people that I like, Ann Marie Rios, Tera Patrick, just take little things from them and make it my own, you know.
Chase says she figured out very quickly that “hardcore performances make a bigger splash, and if you can handle them, then more power to you. That’s how I did it, I just jumped in and was doing scenes for all the companies, not shying away from pushing my limits.”
“I’m an explorer,” she smiles. “I’m the Explorer, trying to figure out what I like, what I don’t like. I think it’s just because I’m just an open person. I’m an optimist, a lover. I love pleasing.”
It helps that she is very much in the moment while preforming. “I only watch the trailers after my scenes come out, and if I really like what I see, and who is in it, and who directed it and all that, then I’ll watch the whole thing — but most of the time I don’t. It’s a performance — I just leave it on the floor and move on.”
An Advocate for Women’s Sexuality
Chase is very much still active in the industry. Besides “Ninfómana,” she has an upcoming two-part scene for Deeper’s Kayden Kross that stretched her acting muscles.
“It’s me as a crazy loony,” she says. “It was a take on Harley Quinn. I did a blowbang there and then a second part where I did an airtight. I’ve been rolling with these really big elaborate scenes, and I look at them and think, ‘Oh my god, I’ve come a long way, because back when I first came in, like I saw Kristina Rose, Alexis Texas, Tori Black, all these great performers, and now I’m in that level now. It’s kind of like, holy shit. I’m like the senior about to graduate and go off to college.”
“College” in her case would be transitioning more into mainstream acting, or adult directing, or even as an inspirational figure.
Chase recently played the main character in the indie film “Everything in Its Right Place,” currently seeking distribution. “It was about a girl who was an adult actress, but it wasn’t about me being in porn,” she explains. “It was about me phasing out of porn and dealing with a family matter — my dad was an alcoholic, my mom was kind of like a punching bag, and she dies and I realize I have a stepsister from my dad, but I have a hateful relationship with him because of what he did to my mom.”
Although the story is not based on her specific life experiences, Chase felt she could relate to the material. “It’s a story that the director made up on his own, and I just fit the bill. I thought I could do it because I kind of am this person. Even the name, ‘Everything in Its Right Place,’ was eerily fitting.”
As for wanting to be an advocate, Chase is thinking about helping spread a message of positivity about “women being sexual, in any way, shape, or form, I want Latin women — any women, really — to be able to come to me, and be comfortable in their sexuality and not ashamed.”
Back in 2010, Chase made the professional decision to keep the Victoria, but replace her Spanish surname with the name of a bank. She wanted to “not box myself in, and just be one thing. I wanted to say that it shouldn’t matter what ethnicity am. I wanted to do as much work as I could and not be limited to just being Latin.”
Now, Chase is also becoming more vocal about her cultural identification as Latina, particular while trying to advocate sexual acceptance.
“I feel like there’s this double standard, like, ‘Oh, Latin men get to do everything. And sexual women are being considered the worst and are frowned upon. I dealt a lot with that. But I had to find my own way to overcome that. I’ve come to a place where I can tell myself and others, ‘You’re fucking great, you’re not lacking anything. There’s nothing wrong with you because you like to fuck for a living, or be a porn star.”
Asked what kind of porn she would like to make if given the chance to direct, she says she would want to direct something “where it’s very much a woman’s fantasy. We’re just along for the ride, and what we see is from the point of view of woman empowerment.
“I just would like the girl to be the hero, the badass,” she concludes. “Something I can relate to.”
LOS ANGELES — Director, screenwriter and reigning XBIZ Male Performer of the Year Seth Gamble has released the trailer for his upcoming Wicked Pictures feature, “Reckless.”
Produced by Axel Braun, the title also features Ivy Wolfe, Kenna James, Lexington Steele, Tommy Pistol, Kenzie Anne, Ryan Reid, August Skye, Nicole Doshi, Nathan Bronson and David Lee.
“An exhilarating crime saga that defies easy categorization, Reckless is the story of Silas Knight (Gamble), a racing enthusiast and tech genius, and the milieu of greed and betrayal he’s enmeshed in after designing a chip that radically improves car performance,” said a rep. “From his true love Harlow Knight (Wolfe) and ex-partner/rival Brooke Michaels (James) to corrupt detective Matteo Bennett (Steele) and an appearance from the psychotic Dr. Joseph Curwen (Pistol), everyone wants what he has.”
Gamble elaborated on the feature’s unique, sprawling storyline.
“Filmmaking is like painting,” he said. “Every stroke or every color impacts another and you just build on that canvas and you get new ideas right up to the last stroke. I’m trying to use the camera to get into people’s heads. I use camera techniques a lot to articulate character. That is what art is about. Art is about reproducing and recreating what you feel. My background as an actor involves the same choices, whether it’s choosing roles or writing scripts.”
Braun, who also appears in a non-sex role as mob boss Dino Moretti, enthused about Gamble’s writing.
“I’ve often done small cameos in my movies just for giggles,” he said. “But this was different. Seth constructed an intricate plot stretching across a cinematic universe, and wrote some very intense dialogue, and as much as I tried to convince him otherwise, he was adamant that I had to be the one playing this role. I’m not an actor and had plenty on my plate as a producer. I would have turned down anybody else, but I just couldn’t say no to him.”
The first scene from “Reckless” will premiere May 26 on Wicked.
