If you watched the 20th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards on A&E on January 15, or attended the awards show at The Hollywood Palladium, you would have recognized one of the six male strippers who opened the show, Brian V., a lead dancer for The Hollywood Men.
A week before the event, the show’s casting director reached out to us to book a male strip show for a short routine inspired by the upcoming movie Magic Mike XXL, set to release this July.
We wanted to supply all the dancers for the male strip routine, but it was a union gig. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough qualified dancers in the union cast available for the job, so our own Brian V. was chosen to fill the remaining spot.
The host of this year’s show was Michael Strahan, known for his role in the upcoming comedy. He humorously ended his monologue without his pants.
Ironically enough, the opening strip routine used the same song that Brian now uses in his cop strip act in the The Hollywood Men show performed Friday and Saturday nights in Los Angeles.
In case you missed the ‘Magic Mike’ opening at the awards show, watch Brian in action.
Brian and the other strippers had the opportunity to hang out backstage with all the attending stars, making it a thrilling experience for Brian. As a big fan of action movies, he especially enjoyed rubbing shoulders with Chris Evans, who plays Captain America.
