EXCLUSIVE: Interview with 2009 GayVN Nominee Scott Tanner

Scott previously appeared in Mustang’s Trade, and in several other recent titles nominated for GayVN awards, including The Drifter, The 4th Floor, Jock Itch, and Hotter Than Hell.  The Sword’s Michael Stabile sat down with Scott for a few intimate questions in advance of next week’s Big GayVN Extravaganza.

MS: You’re nominated for Best Supporting Actor? How much of the judging criteria goes for your fucking and how much for your impeccable line reading?
ST: I’m not sure how the judging criteria is split, but being that the film is so plot driven and we did have so much dialogue to memorize… I would hope that would somehow play apart in the judging. Although, I do understand that it is porn… and the sex should be the focus.   I think many of us did well in both areas, so we will just have to wait and see what happens on March 28th.

What was your inspiration during the big rape scene?
Jodie Foster in The Accused…LOL.  Seriously though — Ben Leon, Ricky Sinz, Logan McCree and I all sat down and really discussed that scene and how it would play out. It was carefully blocked and rehearsed so that when the time came, we were all on the same page and nobody was in pain or being thrown in the wrong direction or uncomfortable in any way.

You were on the remote set for To The Last Man for nearly two weeks.  Is there any part of you that’d like to give up your urban existence and become a ranchero?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!   I grew up between a farm in Pennsylvania and an apartment in NYC, so I’ve always been exposed to both worlds. I much prefer an urban environment.

Though you’ve only ever made me iced tea, you often tell me you’re a fabulous cook. What’s your favorite dish?
I’ve only ever made iced tea — for YOU!!  And that’s because your constant desire to ruin my career only warrants you a simple glass of ice tea from my kitchen.   I don’t have a favorite dish — I like a challenge.   I love to find something I have never cooked before and then spend an afternoon gathering all the ingredients and seeing if I can succeed in matching it or if I can improve upon it. No worries though. I doubt you will ever be invited for anything other than iced tea!!

Is it tense between you and the other nominees for the other Performer of the Year nominees? Have you calculated your odds?
I haven’t seen any tension — yet.  But I guess when everyone else starts to arrive in town it might get more competitive. I can definitely say that there is no tension between Ricky Sinz and I. We are both completely supportive and are pulling for each other 100%.

Who/what are you wearing to the Awards?
No idea!!  Something classy… I’m not the guy who wears some outlandish costume to these events. I always try to keep it clean and classic.
