Buddy: Actors & Skin

'Then I traveled through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, past the sea of twirly-swirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel'                                                                                 


Sooo, not all Christmas stories have happy endings.  2003's ELF ended on a high note with Buddy helping Santa get his sleigh back in the air, saving Christmas for all the children in the word.  Unfortunately, things went down hill shortly after.  Yes, Buddy and Jovie did marry and have a child, but a few months after their visit to Papa Elf, the relationship hit the skids. 


Buddy wanted wanted to move back in with his father and Emily, but they were angry Buddy wasn't putting more effort into saving his marriage.  Divorce is also a no-no for elves, meaning Buddy wasn't welcome back at the North Pole.  With family to take him in, no job or no money, Buddy began a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol and late night partying in his underwear.  


After one particularly crazy December night Buddy landed in jail.  A visit from his younger brother, and ghosts from the past, present and future had him looking for ways to turn his life around.  After a short stint (below) working for a shirtless Bible selling company, Buddy used his earning to rent a small room and enroll in a community college acting class.


The class wasn't know for producing working thespians, but it did have a reputation in some area's of the industry.  The class was often audited by adult film producers on the look out for students in need of fast cash to cast in their latest releases.  Buddy of course said yes right away, but when it came time to film his first scene, became shy about exposing his north pole, especially as he was struggling with an elf erection.


With porn off the table, the producers sent Buddy to a local casting agent who thought his personality and off beat looks might fit for non-frontal nudity in low budget, straight to digital release comedies.  Over the next few years, Buddy yanked off his tights, exposing his Christmas hams in a string of low budget flicks through the 2000's.  Here are a few highlights.
