Gavin Geoffrey Dillard, sometimes known as Gavin Jeffrey or Gavin Geoffrey. Regardless of the multiple aliases, Gavin was (and is) definitely unique.
Not exactly a twink, not exactly a hippie. He was not a porn star, though he was the star of a porn film (1983's Track Meet). In more recent years, he was the host of new age spiritual retreats. He was a poet and performance artist.
In Matt Sterling's Indiana Jones 1987 opus Stryker Force, starring (of course) Jeff Stryker, Gavin played an unnamed naked tree spirit (or was it a sprite?), wearing face paint and nothing else, who roosts in a tree in the Amazon jungle and jacks off. He is not a part of the plot--he's more like set decoration. But he was very decorative.
In Track Meet, he played a conflicted college track star, who was not sure about his sexuality. Though sex reassignment did not seem to be an option. He seems concerned when the slut of the track team (played by Duff Paxton in a not-a-stretch performance) sexually harasses him. Duff jacks off into Gavin's jock, and fucks other guys in the locker room and in the team van on the way to a meet. If you got it, baby, flaunt it. In that memorable scene, Duff is in the third seat in the van, sitting on a team mate's dick, while moaning into Gavin's ear (Gavin is sitting in the second seat). Then Gavin gets raped by a janitor at the hotel, and when he tells his roommate (Larry Paige) all about it, Larry demonstrates that gay sex can be fun. Only in a gay film. Your roommate has just been raped, seems somewhat upset over the incident, and the solution is to, um, well get back on the horse that throwed ya. More or less. I guess after the fade-out, Gavin and Larry set out in search of the janitor for a three-way.
In "real life" Gavin was the college roommate of Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) at North Carolina School for the Arts. Gavin earned the nickname "The Naked Poet" after regularly giving poetry readings in the nude. He wrote comedy for Lily Tomlin, and was a co-author of Bark! The Musical (one can only imagine). He has recently returned to the land of his birth (western North Carolina). BIO by a poster to a yahoo group in 2015.
