I am somewhat surprised that Steve Rambo landed on his feet,
He was working at an adult video store on Melrose in West Hollywood behind the counter the last time I saw him. It was at the end of his video career.
He was bitter and petulant, but I don’t really expect sunshine and rainbows from the staff in a video store. I was checking out some videos and he accused me of not returning a previous video. I explained that I had returned it, and on what date. He exploded and began screaming at me at the top of his lungs.
I was like, “WTF, dude?”
He then came from behind the counter and tried to physically attack me. I was 5’9” 240 pounds with 10 percent body fat at the time…and could have annihilated him…but got out of there because I didn’t want to deal with the police.
I called the store the next day and spoke with the manager. He told me he would review the video footage.
The manager called me a day later and told me that he saw everything that Steve did and that I tried to de-escalate, and that I left quickly,
Even though I was not looking for any compensation….I only wanted to let them know what happened…the manager gave me at least a dozen free rentals. I never saw “Steve Rambo“ working there again.
There was something seriously wrong with that dude. Whether it was psychological or drug-induced, I don't know.
I got fucked by one of his scene partners about a month later, and he told me that he wasn’t shocked by what I was telling him about what Steve had done,
He‘s got to be in his early to mid 60s now. I hope he got the help he needed.
