I really wish I'd gotten to know Jamie. I think my closest 'taste' to getting to know him was from his performance in Jane Hamilton's amazing film Sunset Stripped where an older Jamie played an eccentric retired porn star. I just believe no one can act as good as that. I sensed the real HIM was in that character. Who I saw in that film was a suave, self confident older sexy as hell man with a permanently smoldering, sexually charged vibe about him; like white coals; seemingly calm but VERY hot and just right to get something *serious* hotness cooking in and around the bedroom. I saw a highly intelligent man with an astute sense of originality and creativity-oozing out of each and every pore. He moved like a cat who owned his lair.A leader-not a follower. His body language in the film was that of a man who is confident and self-assured -- someone who has a sexy, dark and teasingly dangerous & possibly even raunchy secret, intense raw animal passion side to him;Anything BUT "dull or run-of-the-mill". That is who I THINK Jamie Gillis was as a human being. I would love to have had the opportunity to have confirmed that what I sensed about him in this great film I have seen 4 times. All these characteristics are highly appealing to me! The fact he - shy and private as he was- did indeed take the care and time to politely respond to my emails and partake as best as he was able to in my book-project, also tells me this was a very kind and compassionate and patient man. Am I correct in this perception? Only those who truly knew him could answer that. Aw Cindi, thanks for posting this.
