Filmmaker and photographer Pat Rocco tries to get Jim Cassidy drunk. Pat was Jim's biggest fan. In fact, it was Pat who gave Jim his stage name.
Mr. Rocco was a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community. His activism, as well as his photographs and films, attracted the attention of the LA vice squad. In 1974 they raided Pat's home and spent hours going through his personal belongings. They found nothing. Eventually the case against him was dropped.
Mr. Cassidy was one of the early "stars" of gay adult films and he parlayed that into a career that kept him busy throughout the 1970s. He's credited for approximately 100 films and that number probably does not include the times he was called in to "stunt dick" for a scene. Stunt dick? Yeah, it's exactly what you think it is.
Is this a still from a film? Was he going to pour the beer on Jim's peter before going down on him? Were they sexually involved?
ReplyDeletePat Rocco spent most of the last 30+ years of his life here on the Big Island of Hawaii where he continued his activism and even wrote articles for the local press. He helped start our Hilo Pride celebration, and it has since paid tribute to his life. Aloha nui loa, Pat. Moe i ka mahulia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7QgXm-4NtM
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that. Thanks!
DeleteWhat a great picture, two legends. Pat Rocco the Los Angeles trailblazer and committed advocate for gay-rights.

Jim/Rick Cassidy the dream-man from Pennsylvania, also a trailblazer in the adult film-world. He and Dakota/Ken Sprague set the standard of gay adult films in the early seventies. -Rj/IE
Zo nonchalant erotisch, het lijkt alsof Cassidy zijn fallus aan Rocco aanbiedt om te zuigen. (")
