Actor has sex-scene secrets

JOCKO Sims, who stars in NBC-TV’s “New Amsterdam”: “Awkward when it’s a sex setup with someone you don’t like and don’t talk to. This actress wasn’t speaking to me, yet we had this heavy-duty coming up, where we had to be passionate. She didn’t bother with any routine hi-howare-you beforehand, and minutes later we’re into this big-time Doing It.

“The show’s written and produced by women. And they literally wrote in every detail. I must say, one of those sex scenes did end up being a little fun. Sometimes, to take the edge off, it takes a shot of tequila. Jon Hamm was known to do that. I did that once, too.”

Sims recalled one particular dream sequence in the TV spinoff of Oscar winner “Crash.” It had a bareback — bare way down his back — take wherein he’s riding a motorcycle in the desert with two women on board.

“I see this woman on set with a camera. I’m like, whoa! Drugged up Dennis Hopper didn’t care. Me, I’m thinking, all I need is a shot of me going viral buck-naked on a motorcycle with two beauties. You have to be aware who’s around when you’re filming a scene involving nudity.”

Lead with love

YEARS back Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor’s husband twice, told me: “You needn’t be in love with your leading lady — but it helps. It’s torture when you feel nothing toward them. Making love professionally is helpful if you have some yen for them personally.

“I had to kiss one famous actress whose mouth was like the Grand Canyon. Her nostrils? As if entering a two-car garage. One can manage to feel something toward some leading ladies, and I try to find what’s bearable, but I’ve suffered sheer hell heroines. There’s hardly money enough to pay for this kind of work.

“Kissing one particular lady was akin to taking a deep dive into outer space. Enough to make one think of turning away from women altogether.”
