A Star is Born in the Desert
Diego Corrales Alert
By Harry Otty
Corrales is fresh off completing his first acting job out in the blazing California desert. The film stars Rob Schneider and should be out sometime next year. Goossen is a pal of Schneider’s and played the role of agent/trainer when he brought Corrales into the mix to play the leader of a prison gang. By the way, Goossen also has a role in the film, playing a gay biker.
"They made my tattoos look so real that when I came home nobody could believe it," said Goossen in reference to his character’s decoration. Corrales, according to Goossen, didn't have it easy out there in the desert. "He called me and said this was the most painful experience of his life because of the heat and the long days shooting."
That means he'll be joining Tarver, Lewis and guys all the way back to Carnera and Dempsey, all of whom fell hard after filming.
