A stunt cock is the term for a substitute (sometimes prosthetic) penis that is used during the shooting of pornographic films.

The stunt cock is used in an extreme close up so as not to identify its bearer, the goal being to deceive the viewer into thinking that the stunt cock is actually the penis of the main actor.^[1][2] Thus a stunt cock is analogous to a "stunt man," who anonymously does dangerous live action sequences in place of the main actor. However, a stunt cock seldom performs dangerous acts on film. Though the term draws its name from this term, its practical application is more analogous to a body double.

Industry role[link]

Stunt cock work is a very common "workhorse" position in the pornography industry. The majority of prominent male pornographic actors have worked in this capacity at least once. Some actors work as stunt cocks specifically out of a desire for anonymity.^{[citation needed]}

Work on a pornographic film can be very demanding, and it is often difficult for actors to perform on demand as needed. A common function of a stunt cock is to stand in for an actor who is unable to achieve erection or ejaculation or an actor who has a penis of a relatively small size, so that filming can continue on schedule.^[3]

In popular culture[link]

• In the 1976 film The First Nudie Musical, the character Rosie (played by Cindy Williams of Laverne & Shirley fame) announces the arrival of a "stunt cock" to complete the filming of a key porn scene. ^[4]
• In the 1998 Trey Parker film Orgazmo, the protagonist's director assigns him a stunt cock, as he doesn't want to actually participate in the sexual scenes due to his Mormon affiliation.
• In the sixth book of The Dresden Files, Blood Rites, Harry investigates a pornographic film crew and is mistaken for a stunt cock by one of the actors.
• A stunt cock is used in the TV show Californication to complete the filming of Vagina Town when the lead actor has "coke dick".

Brandon Ralph DiCamillo (born November 15, 1976) is an American actor, stuntman and screenwriter. He was a founding member of the CKY Crew and rose to fame through appearances in the CKY video series and MTV's Jackass, Viva La Bam and Bam's Unholy Union.^[1][2]

Personal life[link]

He previously worked for Neiman-Marcus, and is the co-writer with Bam for the CKY videos and Haggard.^[3] He dislikes Hollywood work, and has said that the CKY work for MTV was sometimes "too corporate."^[3]

Career[link]

DiCamillo is the comedic voice talent and vocalist with the band Gnarkill.^[2] DiCamillo is also well known for his prank calls and freestyle raps, some of which can be viewed in the CKY movies, on the CKY Vol. 2 CD, and on the Otimen Recording Hell CD produced by Bam Margera.

DiCamillo was casted with other members of the CKY crew to the MTV series, Jackass, appearing in the series and their movies (having an uncredited role in Jackass 3D, the latest in the film series). When the Jackass series ended in 2002, DiCamillo was featured in Bam Margera's film Haggard: The Movie. DiCamillo then starred in Margera's Viva La Bam show, which ran from 2003 to 2005, and airing a special in 2006. DiCamillo then co-starred in his own show with Rake Yohn called Blastazoid, which only lasted two episodes until MTV cancelled the show due to dispute between MTV and the makers of the show. DiCamillo then appeared in Bam Margera's Bam's Unholy Union series in one episode. In 2008, DiCamillo starred in Chris Raab's short film, Hotdog Casserole. In 2009, DiCamillo starred in Bam Margera's Minghags.

DiCamillo is also known for his prank phone call recordings. In 2001, he released a collection of calls titled Otimen Recording Hell! (A.K.A. Bran's Freestyles). In 2010, DiCamillo released four more prank call collections, under the name Gnarkall, via digital download through his own record label, Roman Sausage. The first three volumes are available on iTunes with the fourth an exclusive to CD Baby. The fourth volume includes all the tracks from the first three volumes, as well as thirty extra minutes of prank calls. In February 2011, DiCamillo announced that he is planning to release some freestyle raps in the near future. He has recently appeared as a cameo in a Mega64 video on YouTube "Mega64: MADDEN RAP 2012" where he played as John Madden doing a rap. Additionally, DiCamillo has also provided voice overs for the Xbox Live Arcade game Trials HD and it's sequel Trials Evolution.
