“Oh for fuck’s sake… Yeah, I remember why I hated that director now. What can I say, rent’s always due and he was promising a hefty payout…”

Gabriel is a small-time actor. Passion projects and small-time films are his favorite, but he knows the reason he keeps getting food on the table is the big reason why directors want him. Hypers are still a curiosity on the world stage, and though he hasn’t starred in a single sex scene, he knows that tens or hundreds of thousands of people have indirectly seen him partially or mostly nude. This isn’t even getting into the stunts that directors like to pull, wanting him to look “a little fuller” or “showing off his interest” toward a fellow actress. More than once, directors have said that they wanted “realistic” post-sex scenes, asking him to paint a wall or cover another actor, saying that it’d be a “drop in the bucket” for him…

The above still is from an adult comedy film. The character Andrew, played by Gabriel, acts as an unknowing romantic rival against the protagonist, Kevin, for Jane’s heart. The film enjoyed a short release and has a minor following.
