The Twisted Tale of Mon Cousin Belge, Gay Porn and Murder

Back in 2006 Mon Cousin Belge contributed music to the soundtrack of Falcon Video’s Gay Porn feature The Velvet Mafia. Touted by the legendary local gay porn house as a chance to “Enter the world of The Velvet Mafia: a world of sex, guns and betrayal!” The plot centered around a porn actor named Fox Ryder, and the rival between two gay porn studios over who got to use this porn actor in their films. The weird thing, this actor, Fox Ryder, also went by the porn nom de plum of Brent Corrigan. Unfortunately he couldn’t use his original porn star name because the producer of some sleazy bareback videos named Brian Kocis owned the rights. Here’s a trailer of Velvet Mafia featuring some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen, and MCB’s music, the cheesy keyboard at the beginning is actually from my $100 Casio Keyboard (RIP).

Anyway, an aspiring porn actor named Harlow Cuadra met with this Brent Corrigan/Fox Ryder person in hopes of the two of them starring in a movie together. In their minds, the twinky twosome would be the hottest thing on the gay porn market, generating millions of dollars in hopes of erasing all of their credit card debt. Here’s a pic of the two actors together..not my type!

Unfortunately sleazy producer Brian Kocis still owned the Brent Corrigan name, I assume Falcon video owned the rights to the Fox Ryder name. More unfortunately, Brian Kocis turned up dead. Throat slit, stabbed 30 times, burned. One of the prime suspects and one of two men eventually convicted of the murder, was the baby face Cuadra pictured on the left above. Here’s Brent Corrigan/Fox Ryder arriving to testify at the trial, isn’t he dreamy? To die for?

Apparently the script for Velvet Mafia was written well before Brent Corrigan/Fox Ryder was cast. This is just a sad coinkydink. Harlow was convicted of 1st Degree murder and might get the death penalty, his boyfriend, a Joseph Kerekes, who most likely did the actually stabbing and slicing of the throat pled guilty to second degree murder. So ironically here we have entered the real world of sex guns and betrayal. Here’s a news piece about the murder and ensuing trial. Mon Cousin Belge was nominated for an AVN Award for best music for their contribution to Velvet Mafia but lost, so in the end nobody wins. (MCB appears at the SF Eagle on 5/28)
