While talent signings are often dictated by consumer appeal, JD Slater, co-founder of Raging Stallion Studios, was a little more personal about the decision to sign Nolan, who plans to do a few features for the company each year.
“Raging Stallion is like a big family,” Slater told XBIZ. “Some guys just fit in, and Nolan is definitely one of those guys.”
Nolan will make his debut for the company in Slater’s upcoming “Centurion Muscle II Alpha.” The film also stars Danny Mann, Francois Sagat, Leo Rocco and Lucas Di Fubbiano.
“Blake is great,” Slater said. “What’s not to like about him? He’s movie-star handsome, built like a brick shithouse and great to work with.”
According to Slater, Nolan was on the verge of leaving the business, but opted to sign an exclusive deal with Raging Stallion based on the company’s reputation for treating its talent well.
“He asked me if he could sign with us after he did one film with us,” Slater said. “Of course I said yes.”
Nolan will appear in several features per year for the company, but no number has been set in stone, Slater said.
“Blake is free to work on the projects that he finds interesting,” Slater said.
With the signing of Nolan, Raging Stallion boasts nearly 30 contract stars.
