LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has released the first scene from “Privilege,” the new series from Gamma exclusive contract performer/director and 2023 XBIZ Director of the Year and Male Performer of the Year nominee Seth Gamble.
Created and directed by Gamble as his follow-up to “Deranged,” the series is also produced by Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun. The new scene features Lilly Bell and Lucky Fate, and is the first of eight scenes in a story described as “a gripping drama set in the Machiavellian world of the megarich.”
"Privilege" tells the story of towering family patriarch Alexander Nash (Evan Stone), who rules his family with an iron fist but has a soft spot for his youngest daughter (April Olsen). He's in the middle of a huge deal that he can't let anyone sabotage, from his duplicitous ex-wife (Lexi Luna) to his gold-digging new bride (Julia Ann), who has her eye on his money and on his beloved son Liam (Nathan Bronson).
Meanwhile, Nash's other son, Lucas (Lucky Fate), a compulsive gambler, puts the entire family empire in jeopardy through sheer ineptitude. As Alexander's personal saga unfolds, the torrid sex lives of his family come to light in a chain of events that will expose more dirty laundry than they ever bargained for.
A Star-Studded Cast
“When I first read Seth’s incredibly elaborate script,” producer Braun said, “I knew we had something exceptional here. I also knew that there was only one actor who could play the lead — Evan Stone. It took some convincing on my part, because Seth had only known Evan as the funny, over-the-top persona he is most associated with, but I’ve had a personal relationship with him for more than 20 years and I knew that, much like most great comedians, he would be phenomenal in a dramatic role. And he was.”
Gamble explained that at first he was not in favor of Braun’s suggestion for the role of Alexander Nash, until Braun reminded him of Stone's strong work in "Cinderella XXX."
“When we got on set and I saw him with darker hair and brown eyes, I was astounded as he brought the character to life,” Gamble recalled. “Evan became Alexander Nash. I was blown away by his performance.”
Stone lauded Gamble and Braun for assembling “an amazing cast” and crafting a rich story.
“The script is an epic adventure full of twists and turns and frolic, and it was a real privilege to be a part of it,” Stone enthused. “Being on set was so much fun that I almost forgot I was getting paid a lot of money to be there. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much that I can’t wait for them to do another season of it. Unless my character dies, but you’re gonna have to watch all the episodes of Season One to find out.”
Gamble praised the performers who are paired in the first scene, Lucky Fate and Lilly Bell.
“Lucky Fate was a perfect fit for his role,” the director noted. “The character of Lucas is not just struggling with a gambling addiction, he's the black sheep of the family. Lucky's willingness to be vulnerable on camera and the subtlety of his performance really impressed me.”
Gamble also described Lilly Bell as outstanding. “She's an exceptional actress, beautiful, professional and brings a great energy to the set,” he said. “The scene was powerful and passionate."
Fate said he appreciated getting to perform a scene deeply in character, and “tap into the emotion of my character to fuck in that state of mind. The sex was rough and full of a sort of negative passion based on the characters’ backstories. It was an awesome experience to get to perform in a role like that. It was awesome having such an experienced actor and performer such as Seth there to coach me in both the dialogue scenes as well as the sex scenes. Seth was extremely helpful in expressing how he wanted the character to be played and what mindset I had to lock into in order to achieve the right result.”
Bell also described a great experience shooting the scene, noting that it was her first time working with Fate. “Building our chemistry was a lot of fun. I hope my fans and Wicked members enjoy my role in it!”
The first episode of "Privilege," starring Lilly Bell and Lucky Fate, premieres today exclusively on Wicked.com.
