Studly model Danny Collier appeared worked with Colt, (now COLT Studio Group) in the late 1970's, working with the studio and appearing in several magazines in 1978 and 1979.  I thought I knew most of the models from the studio, but only discovered this beautiful man recently. 








Blast From The Past: Robert Torti


The tight wearing dancer from Murder She Wrote was played by actor Robert Torti, maybe known to most from his time on the soap Generations.  During his time on the show, (1989-1991) he and actress Kelly Rutherford were one of the shows most popular couples.   I've never seen even a minute of Generations, but when searching for Robert, it was clear that the couple is still beloved by fans of the cancelled soap. 


Even though I didn't watch the soap, I think it was Generations that first introduced me to Torti.  When I was searching for images for this piece, I recognized many of his promotional shots from the soap from magazines that I'd seen when I was younger.  Given how popular he and Kelly seemed to be, they were on the cover, and in many soap themed magazines from the late 80's and early 90's.

Vinnie & Bobby (1992)

Torti got his start in the business in the early 1980's appearing on shows including; Quincy, Throb, Family Ties and Little House on the Prairie.  His first role in film was the 1984 erotic action film Alley Cat.  Although there was plenty of nudity in Alley Cat, unfortunately it was mostly the female cast members.  We did however, get some great shirtless of shots of Torti, which you can check out below.

Starlight Express

Torti made his Broadway debut in 1987, co-starring alongside actress Jane Krakowski, (above) in the original cast of Andrew Llyod Webber's roller-skating musical, Starlight Express.  Tori also appeared as the Pharaoh along side Michael Damien in the Broadway production of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat.  Torti went on to co-star alongside Donny Osmond, (below) in a touring production of the show and the version that filmed for video release. 


Those stage credits might have helped prepare Tori for his tight wearing role on Murder She Wrote.  In the late 80's and throughout the 90's, Torit continued to appear on television with roles on shows including;  The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Beverly Hills 90120, Melrose Place and Quantum Leap.  Torti also co-starred with Matt Leblanc in the short-lived 1992 sit-com Vinnie & Bobby. This was Leblanc's last failed show prior to getting the role of Joey on Friends.

Reefer Madness (2005)

Torti continued to work steadily into the 2000's with roles on; Sabrina The Teenage Witch, V.I.P, Criminal Minds and in the films, Race to Witch Mountain, She's All That. and the musical, Reefer Madness.   Torti's on screen roles seemed to have slowed a little in the late 2010's with is last appearances being roles in two short films in 2021.


Some shots from Torit's time as a soap stud

I have to thank Jessica Fletcher for not only solving another mystery, but for again re-introducing me to a face and a hottie from my past.

Generations 

I found the blurry cap on-line from Generations on-line.  I did a search on Youtube, and although there were scenes from the soap featuring Torti, I sadly couldn't find the scene with Torti in his briefs.  If anyone knows if it's out there, let me know!

Circus of the Stars (1992)

Alley Cat (1984)

Trade Secrets: Malyk by Lights On Studio


'Once I get started and on a roll, I don't want to stop.'

FH viewers are aware how much I love the work of Tom Nakielski from Lights On Studio.  Not only has Tom contributed so much to FH over the years, he's also been a source of support and inspiration.  I intend to continue to reaching into Tom's archives as long as there is new work to showcase, and Tom doesn't get tired of my asking and stops replying and ghosts me.  He wouldn't be the first...


For this piece, featuring mouthwatering Malyk in and out of his hot leopard skins briefs, I decided to ask Tom about a few trade secrets from his time behind the camera.  As you'll see, with some questions, Tom shared a lot, and was very open with his answers.  With some other questions, he got a little cagey, and was more cautious with his answers.  In both cases however, I loved hearing his responses, especially about the artists he follows and admires. 


Do you still keep up with new models since you've retired?
I do check out Model Mayhem from time to time but it seems to becoming less active. I stopped doing the Model of the Day Contest because there was not many entrees and most were not very professional. The few photographers that I liked to compete with, also stopped competing, So it took the fun out of it. I took no pride in taking first place when I was the only entry. 


Any names of models you'd like to shoot if could? 
I think I expressed that I would have liked to shoot with Lucery. I contacted Tbendall several times but he never responded. Makes me feel like a loser.  If I was still shooting I would contact Ymtonight. He is fairly new on MM. 

There are a lot of models in Chicago that would be worth the travel time. There are not a lot of choice models in this area on Model Mayhem. As you know I always had difficulty finding new models. Perhaps I should have been more aggressive in seeking model from different states.


If you could shoot a famous actor, who would it be? 
Chris Hemsworth Or Liam Hemsworth...who can tell them apart? Zac Efron can sing, dance and act, and Channing Tatum. All are heartthrobs and can make anyone drool and beg for them to take their shirts off....for starters. 

If you could shoot a famous athlete, who would it be? 
I am not much into sports but Tom Brady is a feast for the eyes. And David Beckman would have me on the edge of my seat hoping someone would accidently pull his shorts down when tackling the ball. Accidently?  Not if it were me. 

If you could shoot a famous Politian, who would it be? 
Obama would be great to photograph. He is good looking, intelligent, humorous, a decent human being and I am a diehard Democrat. 


Are you mentally critical of the work of other photographers? 
I am always tuned into other photographers. Critical when I see how it could, in my opinion, have been done better. Improved lighting, better posing, appropriate propping. Lighting is the most critical to me. You can take an average looking person and make them more attractive. 

I am more interested in analyzing photographers work that inspire me. How did they light it.? How did they use props in a creative way? Not so interested in what camera they use. It is all in the technique and the model/photographer connection. 


Do you have any favorite photographers whose work you enjoy following? 
I love exploring the works of Robert Mapplethorpe known for his controversial images i.e. man urinating on a crucifix. Jim French who founded Colt Studio's producing male magazines of high quality, Herb Ritts: fashion photographer and photographer of countless celebrities, Greg Gorman who photographed famous Hollywood icons, Bruce Weber who photographed for Vogue, Calvin Klein, GQ and more, and Hans Fahrmeyer whose work you have featured on FH. All of these photographers excel in lighting and portraying the male figure. 


As a photographer, are they're secrets you're taking to the grave, i.e. models who may have hooked up after/during a shoot? 
My secrets are indeed going to my grave. 

Have you ever had a crush over one of your models? 
I don't kiss and tell. 


Is there one of your shoots you'd do over if you could?
There are some shoots that I would not want to do over but perhaps have extended. Once I get started and on a roll, I don't want to stop. But after 5 hours, the model is ready to call it a wrap. 

Do you think AI will end the art of photographing the male form?
I am not sure about AI. I don't think it is capable of doing some of the creativity of a real live person. Yet. But it can do some convincing work. But a creative photographer can use it to enhance their work or as a tool to carry through their ideas.
