To begin at the beginning

C4C's posting of how BA began remaking an affable farm boy into the pornstar famous all over the world over as Trevor Yates made me hunt down an even earlier audition--the one from 2006 in William Higgins' studio, when the lad gave a shocked & respectful world its first glimpse (01:09) of his prodigious whombola . Higgins himself directed the shoot, a survey of the applicant's attributes that included a CU of his asshole but missed the start of his cumshot (while watching porn on a laptop) when the first volley scored a direct hit on his eye. (I trimmed the clip by roughly a half, but dropped little of note beyond the foot-fetish stuff.) Within weeks, the "Karel Grosse" pix & casting call had created a sensation on the Higgin's newsletter and--to give fresh vigor to an old cliche--a star was born.
