Pete Ross's red hair, bright eyes, all-American look and acting abilities made a great addition to the La Dolce Vita cast. This was my first time filming with him and I am happy to work with Pete again. We filmed him today in a new scene for Encounters and I am sure that you will love him in both movies!
And now, Heather has her way with Pete for a little Q and A:
What did you like most about doing La Dolce Vita?What didn't I enjoy?!? I had such a great time working on this project! Big sets, big stars, big studio... In retrospect it was such an honor to have been involved in this mega-movie. I have been privileged to work with some of the top studios in this industry and working with Lucas Entertainment was a total dream come true. The best part of the whole experience was working with such talented professionals, on and off camera. Kinga, Tony, Heather, Bryan, Michael, and my scene partner Jonathan Vargas made this project very special to me. I not only feel like I worked with these men and women, but that I made true friends with some of them.
What is your character?The evil, back-stabbing former assistant to Michael Lucas' character, Rick Arnold. I loved playing a bad guy for once! And what is especially cool, is that when I was asked to be a part of La Dolce Vita, I specifically asked to play a real "son-of-a-bitch" character. When you see what type of guy Rick Arnold is, I think you'll agree that he definitely is a ass-kissing bastard who is intent on destroying Michael Lucas' character, Max Todd.
Describe your scene.In La Dolce Vita, it's quickly revealed that Rick Arnold is Max Todd's former assistant. After being fired, Rick is intent on cosing up to New York's famed fashion designer, Jack Bond. Jack and Rick both scorned by Max in the past go about their on separate ways of defiling Max's character. While Jack Bond is more sharp-tongued and is able to hold his own in a war of words with Max, my character takes revenge much further by photographing his former boss in a very uncompromising place and position.
In between Rick's obsessive tailing of Max all over New York, I squeeze in some extremely hot sex with my date (played by Jonathan Vargas) I've invited to Jack Bond's fashion show. And let me tell you...it was one fucking crazy hot scene! I wanted to take the manic energy of being obsessed and angry into the bedroom, and while the scene starts with me literally barking orders and pushing Jonathan around the room, he took it to another level and matched my intensity and passion. Jonathan Vargas was a complete animal and I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but I can't wait to watch the movie just to relive that headboard-banging, yelling-at-the-top-of-my-lungs, frantic yet passion-filled scene!!!
Any funny or steamy stories from the set?One really funny thing happened as I arrived on location, a Manhattan high-rise close to Lucas Entertainment's offices. I was right on time and approached the doorman with the apartment number, but after he called the lady who lived at the apartment, he told me that she wasn't expecting anyone. I told him that I must have the wrong address and tried calling anyone who had it. While I was calling L.E., the P.A. passed me on a sofa in the atrium and asked for the same apartment, then another person, this time a grip, and then my scene partner! That poor lady was so worried that 4 men were trying their damnest to come up to her apartment, I thought the cops were going to show up at any time! Luckily, the rest of the crew arrived five minutes later, this time with the right apartment number. I'm sure that doorman, and that wrong-address woman, would have flipped out if they had known what was up!
What was your favorite moment while working on La Dolce Vita?Oh...I think it's obvious that I loved filming with Jonathan Vargas. After filming our scene, we went out and I interviewed him for the January 2007 edition of Freshmen Magazine. I hope you guys that the time to check it out!
How do you think this will impact your porn career?Oh...it can only enhance my career. Working on epic adult movies like La Dolce Vita are what I want to be known for. And since I will be filming again with Lucas Entertainment, I guess you can say that La Dolce Vita has become the start of a beautiful friendship!
