- AdultFYI reports Elizabeth Starr was interviewed and talked about her boyfriend, the original Tommy Gunn, is pissed that douchebag Tommy stole his name.
Starr’s boyfriend Tommy Gunn is the original Tommy Gunn. Asked how he feels about the reconstituted Tommy, Starr, speaking on his behalf, says he’s really pissed.
“And the other Tommy knows it,” says Starr. “So every time Tommy sees Tommy he avoids him.”
“I can understand that he’s taken the name and succeeded with his career to the level that he’s at,” Starr goes on to say. “But he knew that Tommy was in the industry, and he knew that Tommy was taking a hiatus. I guess he thought he wasn’t coming back into the industry.
“But Tommy [Starr’s Tommy] did 300 films before he left for a few years. So the other Tommy Gunn probably thought if he picked the name that already had some recognition, it would be a lot easier to push himself into the industry. Then, again, I don’t know. That totally throws me.
“And Tommy’s been a really good sport about it. I guess it is what it is. But to me it would be embarrassing that all the people know the other Tommy took somebody else’s name. He knew. A lot of people are going why did you pick Tommy Gunn? This is a bad thing. But I’m not trying to slam the other guy. I’m sure that he’s a nice person. I just think that’s a sleazy, chicken shit thing to do. Be yourself and be original. It’s a sore subject and I get upset. Because I love my man and I don’t lie watching him being upset.”
- The original Tommy Gunn took some time off. You come into the industry and knowingly steal his name while he was away. You then have the nerve to sue or trying to sue porn star Tommy Pistol for him going as Tommy Pistol. Were you dropped on your head at birth? You don’t do that. He’s done over 300 movies and had already established himself in the industry and you couldn’t be original and come up with your own name? You steal one porn star’s name, sue another porn star for going as a completely different sort of name, even though the name Tommy Gunn is a character from the movie “Rocky V”! The one that should be suing anyone is the original Tommy Gunn for you taking his already established name in the industry.
From the original, real Tommy Gunn’s Myspace page, he says:
I’M an Adult star I did my first film in 1993 and left in 1996 Bought a Home in Apple Yalley and built custom harleys. I did a couple films in 1999,But stayed out of the industry. In March of 2007 I returned to the Industry. I’m still building Harleys and also working with Starr Productions and other adult production co. (Now that I’ve returned I found another actor using my stage name) I’m working on rebuilding my presence in the industry! I play my guitar daily, ride my harley and enjoy life.

Tommy Gun is a song by the Clash (“Tommy Gun, you wont be happy till you got one”).
The song that is about terrorism uses the name Tommy Gun since that was the nick name of the famous Thompson Submachine gun, also inmortalized in a Irish Rebel Song, and this the nickname of any submachine gun.

This are the lirics of the song:
Tommy Gun:
(Strummer/Jones)
Tommy gun
You ain’t happy less you got one
Tommy gun
Ain’t gonna shoot the place up
Just for fun
Maybe he wants to die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he’s gonna get it!
Tommy gun
You better strip it down for a custom run
Tommy gun
Waiting in the airport ’till kingdom come
An’ we can watch you make it
On the nine o’clock news
Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it
Tommy gun
You’ll be dead when your war is won
Tommy gun
But did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see it’s kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it!
Tommy gun
You can be a hero in an age of none
Tommy gun
I’m cutting out your picture from page one
I’m gonna get a jacket just like yours
An’ give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it!
Boats an’ tanks and planes, it’s your game
Kings an’ queens an’ generals learn your name
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap
Then the same goes for life!

When I started reading the internet stories of how Pirates’star Tommy Gunn had came in and stole the Original Tommy Gunn’s name,I made it a point to gather as much REAL info as possible on this. And to get the REAL deal, you go to the sources. After reading both Tommys’ Myspace pages, I soon felt an admiration for the original because he had worked hard to get where he was, only to have this other jerk come in and knowingly steal his already recognized name. And his “oh well” attitude really got me mad. So, I sent them both an email thru Myspace,asking them if they read and answered their fanmail thru Myspace themselves because I had a few questions to ask.The original Tommy quickly responded back. He was really nice, and thanked me for the questions, concern and for my support. The OTHER one didnt respond at all. I could see that he had read my email but he chose to just ignore it. After a few weeks, I got fired up about it and decided to send him 1 more email letting him know how at least 1 of his EX-fans felt. Here it is:
Well well, looks like you don’t take time out to answer your fanmail. Maybe you should. After all, without the fans buying your movies, you wouldn’t be shit. You talk about all the hard work you’ve done to get where you are…let me tell you something hard work isn’t just about fucking under hot lights. Its also about taking a few moments out of your busy fucking day to sit down and answer the emails you get from those who buy your movies and support you. I also sent you an email through your website letting you know that one of the links on your website was broken. You couldn’t even reply with a “thank you”. I USED to be one of your fans but that was when I believed all the bullshit you say. Because when put to the test, you failed. You don’t care about your fans, all you care about is yourself. You talk a lot of shit and mean none of it. THE ORIGINAL REAL Tommy Gunn cares about his fans. You remember him right? You came along in 2004 and STOLE his name because you couldn’t think of a cool one for yourself. HE KNOWS that without the fans buying the movies, he wouldn’t be where he is. HE KNOWS what hard work really is. He was under hot lights performing WITHOUT the help of Viagra, when you were still stripping in bars. HE stays in touch with his fans because thats what a REAL star does. Maybe you should take lessons from THE REAL ORIGINAL TOMMY GUNN.

It still gets me that people have told original Tommy to change his name because the current one is more well known. The thing to do now is recycling former porn star names. Now a few have changed their names one letter different than an already established porn star from many years ago.
