Blast from the Past: Clayton Rohner


Although actor Clayton Rohner had a few guest spots on television shows, 1985's Just One of the Guys marked his first appearance on the big screen.  The actors turn in the film was well received, by both audiences, and the editors of teen magazines.  He soon followed his co-star William Zabka by posing for some those pin-ups many of us tore out and saved. 


Rohner's performance was also clearly noted by producers and directors and soon after he began a string of roles on the big screen.  Although none were huge box office hits, many were memorable.  After Just One of the Guys, Rohner appeared with fellow 80's hottie Ken Olandt in the 1986 horror flick April Fool's Day. 


Rohner continued to appear on television with guest shots in shows including; Miami Vice, Hill St. Blues, L.A Law, The Hitchhiker and Star Trek: The Next Generation.  His film roles included turns in Deadly Intention, Night Wish and Modern Girls.  The two black and white shots above and below are from Modern Girls

In 1992, Rohner appeared in the Spanish movie Los gusanos no llevan bufanda. (The Naked Target)  The film includes an extended nude scene which thanks to xyzpdq you can check out below.  The scene doesn't show much, and even less given the film only had a VHS release.  Thanks to Charles at DC, who provided some fairly decent caps. 

The Naked Target (1992)

 'A New York executive is handcuffed to a precious briefcase to which only his Spanish contact holds the key and of which many others are in hot pursuit.'


In addition to a few quick butt flashes, it does appear Rohner was nude in the film.  I'm not sure if the cap above is a frontal, or if he's wearing a cock sock.  My enlarging it and brightening it, (below) doesn't really solve the mystery.  It does however, make the cute actor look like an alien...  It does appear however, like a frontal, or at least, a well fitting sock.

Rohner's only other nude scene, that I could find anyway, was him slipping into the bathtub, with a high camera angle in the 1994 thriller Caroline at Midnight.  Rohner's continues to work as an actor and in the last few years appeared several movies, and in episodes of Justified and  Ozark.

Caroline at Midnight (1994)

'Victoria is a dealer in the most dangerous game. Playing conveniently into her hand is her husband and his partner, two of the dirtiest cops on the force. Gunning for her is a seductive lethal druglord. But in this game, Victoria's wildest card may be herself. She's falling in love with a reporter, who knows the secrets that could destroy them all.'
