Episode Four of Seth Gamble's 'Deranged' Arrives

LOS ANGELES—The fourth episode of Deranged, the new series from three-time AVN Best Actor and Gamma exclusive contract performer Seth Gamble in his directing debut, is now available on Wicked.com. Produced by four-time AVN Director of the Year Axel Braun from Gamble’s script, the eight-part series’ newest episode stars Jane Wilde and Lily Larimar in a torrid three-way with AVN Hall of Fame member Mick Blue. In the new episode, Dr. Charlie Hayes (Kenzie Taylor), a brilliant psychologist, navigates her dark past as she pursues her number one nemesis—the deranged Dr. Joseph Curwen (Tommy Pistol). After a hard day at the office, her ruminations lead back to an incident that occurred when she was 18 and out on the streets—the fateful day her teenage self (played by Larimar) received a mysterious invitation from Lisette (Wilde) and her lover (Blue). “Dual-timeline casting poses a unique challenge,” said Gamble of the three-way. “Because, as a filmmaker, your goal is to capture performances across timelines that feel like they are from the same playbook. It was critical that both my wonderful wife Kenzie Taylor and Lily Larimar be on the same page about Charlie. Fortunately, they both hit it out of the park. They saw Charlie as ambitiously stubborn and ruinously strong, and they manifested that personality assessment into their spoken performances and into a shared physicality during their sex scenes. “Kenzie and Lily were completely in step with each other, as if they’d been practicing together their whole lives. Lily is an incredible performer with great screen presence and casting her as a young Charlie was a no-brainer for me. She was excited to be there and brought the role to life. I think Lily is a great actress and this is just an early example of what she can bring to the table.” Gamble also praised Larimar’s scene co-star: “I worked with Jane Wilde as a performer in her first scene, back in January 2018. We’ve worked together close to a dozen times since then, and we have a shorthand in how we communicate that brings efficiency to our relationship as a performer and a director. She knew instinctively what I was looking for in the character of Lisette. James Avalon and Shaun Rivera lit the scene in a very moody, artistic way and Jane gave a powerhouse performance.” As for Blue, Gambled hailed the three-time AVN Male Performer of the Year for his work on the production. “He’s top-tier in every way. To my mind, even when I was playing supporting roles, I thought I was the lead because I cared about the work so much,” Gamble said. “They don’t teach you in acting class to be a lead or supporting character. You maintain the same professionalism regardless, and Mick is cut from the same cloth in the way he approaches the business. As a performer, he knows it boils down to essence. You listen and break down a scene. He really focuses on his work and steers clear of distractions.” To watch previous episodes of the series, visit Wicked.com.
