This week on Holly Randall Unfiltered, I sit down with one of the most fascinating performers I’ve ever met. Best known in the adult world as gay performer Reese Rideout, this industry chameleon is now stepping into a new persona: Dom Cruise. Dom has been in the business for over 20 years, and he takes me through his wild ride: from being scouted at a bodybuilding competition, to shooting with Playgirl back in the days of film, to navigating the slippery slope of gay-for-pay as a straight man. We talk about the homophobia that plagued the industry back then, how he learned to “thrust to pop,” and why twinks were always easier than bears. Dom doesn’t hold anything back—yes, we even get into his supplement obsession and the science behind his microscope-tested loads.
We also cover the stigma around masculinity, the mental gymnastics it took to perform scenes outside his comfort zone, and how the gay side of porn often paid better than the straight side. Dom shares how OnlyFans changed the game, why he’s stepping into straight scenes now, and how his wife supports him while helping manage his career. On top of that, he’s building a mainstream acting career with upcoming films like Crystal and Apophis 2029, plus a campy blood-soaked thriller called Killer Clown Girls (which, yes, lets me admit my angry clown fetish on air). This episode is part porn history, part confessional, and part insane Hollywood tale—exactly why I love doing this show.
