LaBruce Takes on Zombie Porn

"This is the most demanding film I have ever done," Sagat tells me in a heavy French accent, occasionally looking down to reveal his signature tattoo, which gives the illusion of a hairy scalp. "Normally I have one sex scene a week and have a week to recover. In this, I have like five a week." Like LaBruce, Sagat hopes to straddle both the porn and mainstream film worlds, and he has recently shot a scene in the upcoming Saw VI, in which he plays a junkie begging for a prescription. "But I have lines," he is quick to point out. He says he's not planning an exodus from the adult-film industry anytime soon. First, he likes it, and also, he says, "When you have done pornography at any point I don't hope too much."
