Dept. of WEHT: Matt Van Dorn
July 23, 2008 | 9 Comments
Dept. of WEHT: Via my association with Studio 2000, I’ve had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Matt Van Dorn, the adorably rangy South African blondine who blazed through the biz for about two years (2003-2005) and quickly departed for greener pastures with less than a dozen films under his belt. I spoke with him recently and he was happy to update our Constant Readers as to his whereabouts. “I currently live in Cape Town, South Africa, and just got back from traveling and living in New York, Spain and London,” he says. “I’m very happy to be home and settled, at least for now.” Mr. Van Dorn says he didn’t exactly retire from porn. “No, I’m young and virile! I’m just taking a break to focus on more grounded life pursuits.” Click here for the rest of our interview…
Today he works for what is called a Social Development Consultancy company. In a nutshell, “We make a difference by making social development sustainable through research, monitoring and evaluation. It’s great to see the good that humanity can do.”
His involvement in gay adult came about largely thanks to a wicked case of wanderlust. “I wanted desperately to travel overseas,” Mr. Van Dorn says, “but did not have the finances. I thought this would be the fastest and most pleasant route to get there! I also wanted to see what interest there would be [among studios] in working with my look.”
Mr. Van Dorn shot THE INKEEPER: HOTEL ITALIA 2 for Lucas Kazan Productions, but as a Studio 2000 exclusive he appeared in flicks like BAD BOYS CLUB, CRUISING IT and PLAY ON. His last film to date was UNZIPPED (“a hot threeway with two cuties!”√¢‚Ǩ‚ÄùTyler Austin and Devin Bleu) and he fondly recalls his first S2K shoot, DEEP PLUNGE. “It’s worth mentioning that this was probably my hottest shoot. It was with Rafael Carreras; he is one hot Latin stallion! We had great energy. Working with other great, hot actors like Brent Everett, well, I consider myself lucky.”
And so although he is not officially retired, neither is he jumping at the chance to make more porn. “I believe in just letting the process of life flow,” he says. “If something worthwhile comes my way, who knows?”
