Ron Jeremy: Hollywood Big Shot

As first reported on adult news site Stunning Curves, the work of Metro Home Video contract director James Avalon is featured in the movie American Psycho.   And credit for the product placement goes to Metro contract boy Ron Jeremy.

According to Jeremy, the producers of the film about a yuppy serial killer contacted the popular porn actor with regards to acquiring stock porn footage for a sequence in the graphic movie.

"The film has got a good plug for me and Metro," said the portly porn star, adding, "I was being a good contract boy."

"They called me from Toronto looking for some adult stuff for a [porn] scene in the movie. The porn film in the movie is called Inside Lydia's Ass. They needed boxcover stills, they needed a video [one of Avalon's]. I called Metro and had them send a bunch of stills and videos on the condition that they worded the credits, 'Film clips and stills provided by Ron Jeremy/ Metro Home Video.' They did it. I saw the film several days ago. It's a nice credit provided you stay for the credits."

Considered by many to be the most high profile, instantly recognizable porn star in the history of the biz, Ron has frequently appeared in less-than-memorable cameos in a number of non-porn productions.

Upcoming "straight" work for Jeremy includes an appearance on Comedy Central's "The Man Show". Along with Jeremy, look for Ginger Lynn, Amber Lynn, Peter North, Randy West, Asia Carrera and Alexa Rae.

"We all did this summer camp skit outdoors. It was very funny," Jeremy says. "It's The Man Show doing a takeoff of a baseball camp. Only this one is a summer camp to meet porn stars. It's a great bit and I play a school teacher."

Jeremy is also set to appear (albeit in animated form) along with porn actress Jenna Jameson, in an upcoming episode of the FOX Network's "The Family Guy".  Or maybe not.  Fox recently announced that the show was being cancelled.
