Attempted Murder . . . Twice


Many of you will no doubt recognize Barry Hoffmann who was known more for his work with Old Reliable than AMG.  Bob Mizer describes in the text overlay how Hoffmann got into a fight with his roommate over a girl and nearly killed him.  And this was after having already served time for attempted murder.  That leaves me wondering if he was one of the many who robbed and/or beat up Old Reliable, a photographer whose skid row models made Mizer's look like upstanding citizens.

  1. I was first introduced to Barry in the Colt Studio days. Why golly gee, I thought he was an upstanding citizen.

  2. I saw an Old Reliable video of Barry that was supposed to be the last one he had done anywhere. He just showed up there, filthy and grossly underweight, wanting money to do an impromptu video. The recording shows him obviously high and rambling nonsense. He appeared to be an addict and probably sick with AIDS. It was incredibly sad to watch.

    1. Yikes! Several of these guys came to that sort of end. In fact, I plan to give one of him his own series.

  3. AKA Jeff Reardon for Champion - first pic sets show him looking very young and innocent but in later Champion set he is starting to look hard and kind of weather beaten - the Colt pics and Falcon film show him beefed up but still handsome in a rough sort of way - and then he just seemed to go completely off the deep end - maybe that was the legal trouble and prison years - he did indeed have a beautiful uncut dick - I read somewhere that he was from Irving, Texas and would probably be over 70 now if he is still with us
