"he portrayed a customer at a Nevada brothel for a television show. James Wood..."

With the name of "Wood" he was a natural for this hard role.

Glen Whorton, assistant director of the state Department of Corrections, said in an e-mail to Keith Munro, legal counsel to Gov. Kenny Guinn, that Wood terminated for "inappropriate activity."

"I indicated that his involvement was inappropriate because it exploited women, and we incarcerated many women with similar backgrounds," Wharton said in his e-mail.

Lawsuit material, if this is indeed the stated reason. The "ranch" is legal in Nevada, of course; women are not "exploited" there any more than any woman who takes any job because she needs the money, and no woman who works/worked at a "ranch" is incarcerated solely for that fact. He's mixing up legal, state-sanctioned prostitution with illegal "call girl" operations.

I discovered that shortly after reaching adulthood.

And since then I have yet to decide which is the more important...

The fellow called in to a talk radio program (Rusty Humphries) yesterday, and explained that he discussed the matter with his boss BEFORE the event, and received no disapproval from the boss, who joked about maybe doing it himself.

Also, he explained how the establishement offered to "comp" him in lieu of pay for the acting role.

A computer specialist has lost his job at the state Department of Corrections because he portrayed a customer at a Nevada brothel for a television show.

There is something true to be said about the adage concerning Politics and Strange Bedfellows

...when he received notice he wouldn't be retained "for moral reasons."

Boy, color me dumb. I watched a few minutes of that HBO "documentary" and I thought it was the real thing, with hidden cameras, etc.

Oh Man I saw That Show! I could not believe he said what his job was even then!

And he brought his Wife Too!
