Nick Corri in Tropical Snow

'On arrival at the airport in New York they show nerves and all their dreams start to shatter...'

Many of you  have seen actor Nick Corri naked, even if you didn't know it.  His very quick frontal from the 1986 Goldie Hawn film, Wildcats, often makes the rounds.  Most likely, because standing next to Nick, also flashing a frontal, is actor Wesley Snipes.  I've always been more partial to Nick however, and featured his tighty whitie scene from the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, during my salute to Wes Craven back in 2015. (HERE:)

I recently saw the image of Nick and Wesley posted again, and this time, decided to take a deeper dive into the actors career, and nude scenes I might find,  Nick was a bit difficult to search as he used the credit of 'Nick Corri' only during his early years in Hollywood.  By the late 1990's, he was using his real name, Jsu (Jesus) Garcia as his official credit. 

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

As 'Nick Corri', the actor had a busy and successful career during the eighties.  he appeared on television in shows including;  Fame,  The Facts of Life, Miami Vice and The Bronx Zoo, and in films including; Wildcats, Slaves of New York and Gotcha.  When the nineties rolled around, his career slowed down a bit although he still appeared frequently on television in shows including; Babylon Five, Red Shoe Diaries, JAG and Murder She Wrote.

Wildcats (1986)

During the 2000's, Corri, now Garcia, returned to appearing in major motion pictures with roles in films which included; Collateral Damage and We Were Soldiers.  Garcia also went behind the camera, directing and producing.  He also wrote, produced and starred in 2007's Spiritual Warriors. Garcia also went on to become an ordained minister in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, founded by John-Roger.

It was during the 80's however when he appeared to have his biggest box offices successes, and his three on-screen nude appearances.  In 1998, still credited as Nick Corri, Nick appeared nude in both Tropical Snow with  Madeleine Stowe and The Lawless Land.  Both nude scenes feature Nick's character being arrested, stripped and interrogated.  Not much is shown in The Lawless Land, but if you want to check it out, I did find a copy on Youtube. (HERE:)  There is a bit more of Corri in Tropical Snow which you can see below.

Although Depp's stomach baring crop top got a lot of attention, it was actor Jus Garcia that caught my eye when recently re-viewing the original Nightmare on Elm Street. In the first quarter of the movie, Garcia has a bloody tighty whitie scene getting tossed across the room in the films first big kill scene.

Nightmare on Elm Street was Garcia's first big role on the big screen and began a long string of movie and television roles which continue today. Garcia appeared on film in movies which include; Wildcats, Slaves of New York, We Were Soldiers, Along Came Polly and 1994's New Nightmare. On television, Jsu was scene on Miami Vice, Murder She Wrote, Murder One, JAG and as Jo's husband on The Facts Of Life.
