Q: What's the most important thing you try and teach the new models?
Sebastian: The difference between private sex and sex in front of the camera. In front of the camera, the most important thing is to see the sex in action. So the position is more important than the pleasure.

Q: Do you have a favorite from all the "Personal Trainers" scenes you've done? If so, which is it?
Sebastian: There are two. And they're both in "Personal Trainers 7." One is with Ethan Clarke and Sven Olafsson, and the other with Marc Vidal. The chemistry was amazing.

Q: The end of the episode with Marc was quite a surprise to watch. How was it for you?
Sebastian: I had a lot of fun with Marc. I deliberately squirted in his mouth—he asked for it. Very exciting.

Q: Can you tell us a little about your session with Benjamin Bloom? He is hot!
Sebastian: He was very new when we did the scene. It's a perfect example of us not waiting too long between the time he came to us and the time we started filming. He's really charming and has the greatest, light-up-the-room smile.
You'll see his casting session before the end of September (2004) on the web site and in October (2004), some special programming with him. This was all filmed some weeks ago, but we're putting it up just now.

Q: Which celebrity or member of the British royal family would you most like to train?
Sebastian: It's a toss-up, either Harry or his mum.

BEL AMI
Q: It's obvious you and Dano share some amazing chemistry on-screen. Do you guys have as much fun together off-screen?
Sebastian: Yes. He's around practically every day, and he's a great friend.

Q: Whom in the Bel Ami stable of boys do you pal around with the most?
Sebastian: Mostly with Marty Stevens. i see Dano, Johan Paulik, Lukas Ridgeston, Matt Phillipe, Harry Radcliffe, the Chaykin brothers, Joey Amis and others every day. Unless one of us is working, we go to lunch together every day. But I go skiing and do other sports, like squash and the gym, with Marty.

Q: You and Johan and Lukas are stars. Do you ever just chill out together?
Sebastian: Sure we do. As I've told you earlier, we're really best friends. We work together so we're with each other every day. Lunch is our chill-out time. When we do "personal appearances" it's amusing to see fans' reactions, and whom they recognize and run up to. Earlier this year, in New York, Lukas was there to shoot still pictures for a book which just came out in the U.S., "XXX: Portraits of 30 Porn Stars" [FYI, Lukas was one of 10 guys in the book, and he's on the back cover, theoretically the most famous male porn star—Jenna Jamison, the most famous female star, is on the front]. But when the three of us walked south down Seventh Avenue from Times Square, a fan came rushing up and asked for Johan's autograph, completely ignoring Lukas. We all laughed about this afterwards!

Q: Do you get recognized in Bratislava?
Sebastian: Occasionally. The three of us were sitting in a coffee shop in Bratislava, and in came someone from the United Kingdom who teaches English here. He asked us for autographs. That's it. No great story out of this other than being recognized.

Q: As time goes by don't you need new established stars to replace you three? Won't they need time to get established?
Sebastian: George really never set out to create stars. He wanted "Bel Ami" to be the star. It's the fans who create stars. George is pretty lucky that Lukas, Johan and I don't pull "star trips" on him. We would never do it and if we did, he'd never stand for it. We don't have to, we're treated fairly and paid well, with lots of perks. George pays attention to fans' reactions and also sales figures. If one of the newer guys catches the interest of the public, George will feature him in more videos and that will establish him as a star. However, George just wants to continue working with those guys he enjoys working with. He doesn't care how beautiful or how Bel Ami-like or how popular a boy is, if the boy gives George trouble, he's out. If anyone shows any signs of using drugs, he'll be out even faster.

Q: Does George make a distinction between marijuana and drugs in his prohibitions?
Sebastian: George does not condone any form of illegal drug which includes marijuana. I'm not saying some of the boys haven't smoked pot once in a while (I'm not saying they did either), but if George were to see any effects from it, the boy would be out on his ass.

Q: Is there a possibility of seeing a reunion of you, Johan and Lukas in a film?
Sebastian: Very doubtful that the three of us will be together in one film again. However I did a 3-way episode with Lukas and Sascha Chaykin, and was in a huge orgy where Lukas also participated. I think those episodes will be released in 2005. At least that was the plan as of last week.

Q: It seems that so many new and hot young boys are constantly being introduced. Do you foresee any of them having the longevity in their career such as you, Johan, and Lukas have enjoyed?
Sebastian: I can't say, but there are absolutely some great new guys. Our longevity has to do with people continuing to show interest in us and buy the movies we're in. Tim Hamilton and Tommy Hansen could probably be around for a while. They're just super in "Greek Holiday 2." Tommy's a real ham in front of the camera and so is Tim. In the film they make their relationship really multi-faceted. I think that Matt Phillipe could have a nice "career" if he wanted to.

Q: With so many models now, is the family atmosphere of Bel Ami being eroded or is there still a core of those with exclusive contracts?
Sebastian: We have a bunch of models with exclusive contracts and we try very hard to continue the family-like atmosphere. Lots of families grow, and so does ours. It may be a little intimidating for new guys at first, but in a short time they usually feel like they've been around for years. In the end, the friendship, camaraderie, fun and caring are what keep us all together.

Q: Does having so many models ever become a problem? There are some that I keep waiting to see in a feature film other than internet scenes and "Personal Trainers" episodes.
Sebastian: The only problem is not being able to use them more. We can only film so many feature films because of lack of locations. Really, that's our biggest problem. If you'd all accept every feature film done in George's bedroom, we could make 30 films a year. At this point, we think you'll see many of the new guys in films next year.

Q: Why not film in the great outdoors? There must be plenty of wild, secluded places in Slovakia!
Sebastian: Sure there are! And George loves to film outdoors. But as I said before, the weather in the summer seems to get worse every year. In 2002 there was all that rain and the floods in Prague. In 2003 we had that terrible, hot summer which was so unbearable we couldn't shoot, and this summer was on the cooler side, with mostly every day cloudy for at least part of the day.

Q: When we will be seeing the scene you filmed with Yves Carradine? How did it go with him?
Sebastian: Frankly, I don't remember. I've made so many episodes. I remember fucking him in an orgy we did in Cape Town and I also remember one shot in the studio in the bed.

Q: Is Adrian Kinski still around? He's still my favorite along with you and Josh Elliot, even though Adrian hasn't made an appearance since "Julian." Will you tell him many of us miss him a lot?
Sebastian: Adrian works for us. We are very good friends, we've been reconstructing both of our apartments at the same time over the last few months. Sure, I'll tell him.

Q: What is Jeff Daniels up to these days? Is he still filming in front and in back of the camera?
Sebastian: Jeff was working for a film production company (non-porn) in Prague. He's going to try to film some internet content for us.

Q: Have you done any scenes with Liam Phoenix? I'd love to see you together.
Sebastian: Not yet. He's one of the Webmaster's favorites. Should I be saying this?
Webmaster: No, but you already did. Thanks a heap.
Sebastian: Liam did a "First Suck" in Prague this past week and he also filmed a full episode with Steve Jennings, which should be out in 2005.

Q: Do you think Julian will appear before the camera again?
Sebastian: George has tried to get him to do it, but Julian seems to prefer working in the office in Prague.

Q: How is Brandon Manilow? He is still with Bel Ami?
Sebastian: Of course he is. He's got two scenes in "Greek Holiday 2" and he's filmed others for the future including one with Christian Bisset, which, again, you should see in 2005.

Q: It seems that Oliver Krist is the only model to deep throat his partners. Is there a reason for that?
Sebastian: He's one of the only who can! He's a world-champion cock-sucker!

Q: Can you tell us anything about Ion Davidov?
Sebastian: He paid us a surprise visit in May. He looks good, a bit older than when you last saw him, and he's got some new tattoos. In fact, he has his own tattoo studio. That's his passion. He's happy and he's healthy and that's all that matters.

Q: We all liked a boy called Ales, now called Troy [Allen]—do you know anything about him?
Sebastian: Sure. Two weeks ago we made an episode together! He's got a nice body and a beautiful ass. And a nice personality.

Q: Do you have sex with Bel Ami models in your private life these days? Usually are you top and/or bottom?
Sebastian: I make sex with Bel Ami models almost every day of the week, for either training or fun. I'm almost always a top because I have problems to get fucked. I've said this dozens of times, and it seems as if no one believes that it's a physical thing and not that I just "don't want to," or I'm "holding out."

Q: One of my favorite scenes is from "Frisky Summer 2" with you and Dano. Will we ever see you return the favor and top Dano?
Sebastian: I've fucked him many times in private!

TRAVEL
Q: How was Gay Pride weekend in San Francisco?
Sebastian: Amazing. At the end of the parade, Johan had a bright idea. We were standing behind the booth where we were autographing things. Johan decided to take off his shirt and throw it into the crowd. Lukas and I also did it. Then, we had to walk back to our hotel through the streets of San Francisco without shirts. We were all cold, so I asked Mel Roberts to give me his sweater. Johan was screaming at us, saying that I set the whole thing up: that they would walk without shirts in the cold and I would get a sweater. He completely forgot that it was HIS idea to throw our shirts into the crowd. Johan and Lukas went all the way to the hotel bare-chested.

Q: Did Howard Roffman shoot pictures of you while you were there for a future book?
Sebastian: No, we were only in San Francisco for three days.

Q: Would you like to visit the United Sates again?
Sebastian: Yes. I only saw a small part of it. I'd like to visit Florida (Miami, in particular), the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Niagra Falls and many more places.

Q: How do you explain all your traveling to people, say relatives, who don't know what your line of work is?
Sebastian: I don't explain anything to anyone. Curiously enough, my family and friends don't ask questions. My parents are happy that I'm traveling a lot. When they were younger, we were under Communist rule and they couldn't travel.

Q: Did you enjoy your recent trip to London and did you manage to spend much time there?
Sebastian: It was only one day this time. We were just in and out.

Q: It was so good to meet you in London. You are so talented both in front of and behind the camera, which do you like best?
Sebastian: I like both. For different reasons. I still enjoy performing, and being a cameraman is challenging.

Q: Did you enjoy your stay in Holland? Were all those people on the water a big surprise?
Sebastian: It was a fantastic party. I never saw anything like it, with, how many boats were there? Maybe 70? And all around were thousands of people. I was really tired afterwards, but extremely happy I was there. Johan, Matt and I had a wonderful time.

Q: Marty and Lukas have become directors. Will you be directing episodes yourself in the foreseeable future?
Sebastian: Yep. This coming week, for example. I'm going to start filming some internet episodes. Lukas needs time to edit, so we'll try alternating and see how it works out. I'm also filming all the castings and pre-editing the feature videos so I don't know how much time I'll have to do the internet episodes. We'll see.

Q: Thank you guys, wish I could treat you to a drink!
Sebastian: We need one right now! Webbie, especially, could really use a good stiff one.

Q: How much longer do you plan to be in front of the camera?
Sebastian: It's really up to George. I'd like to do it as long as I can. Dano and I want to be Personal Trainers when we're in our 50's.
