ADONIS WILLIAMS (Kyle) Actor and poet, he comes to "Sex Scenes" from working on a film this week. "I'm a workaholic plus, I love to stay busy. I'm also one of the most realiest people you would ever meet. I would definitely give you the shirt off my back if I knew you needed it. My way of thinking is that you only have this one life and when it is over, it is over. So while you are here you should make the most out of the time you have left. As for myself, I'm loving every single minute of what I'm doing. I'm dedicated to my craft and I always give 110% of myself to each and every project I'm associated with. Be blessed!"

ANTOINE (Lane, Salesman) is a 27 year old actor in New Jersey. Growing up Antoine always loved the thought of acting but never aspired to be actor! "One day my brother brought home some casting information and asked me to submit myself to them. I guess because I was the funny when I was younger he assumed I had it in me. It was then we realized I had some skills and I've acting ever since."
