The boyfriend controlled the camera while the owner of Cobra Video, Bryan Kocis, observed. This boyfriend introduced Lockhart, then 17, to the gay pornographic industry and arranged for Lockhart to audition for a pornographic film from Lockhart's own bedroom via webcam. His first boyfriend introduced him to a "fast, furious, out-of-control side to the gay scene", with which he was not comfortable. His mother and stepfather divorced when he was aged 8 to 9 years, after which the household broke down. He and his siblings were raised in the suburb of Mill Creek, near Seattle, Washington, with their stepfather. He is one of four siblings he has an older brother and a younger brother and sister. Sean Paul Lockhart was born October 31, 1986, in Lewiston, Idaho. He returned to gay pornography in 2016 with Falcon Studios' Deep Release. In 2013, he directed the mystery-thriller Triple Crossed. In 2012, he announced his involvement in the production of an independent film titled Truth, directed by Rob Moretti and co-starring Lockhart and Moretti. In 2011, he received the Rising Star Award at the Philadelphia QFest Festival. In 2011, he starred in the horror comedy anthology film Chillerama, directed by Tim Sullivan, as Ricky in the musical segment "I Was A Teenage Werebear". In 2010, he left pornography to focus almost exclusively on gay-themed movies and independent films, such as Judas Kiss, Sister Mary, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!, Welcome to New York, and others. Lockhart started his career as a gay pornographic film actor mostly using the stage name Brent Corrigan, except in The Velvet Mafia parts 1 and 2 (2006) and Best of Roman Heart (2008), in which he used the stage name Fox Ryder. Cuadra and Kerekes are both serving life sentences now, and Corrigan has successfully gotten on with his career, having established his own website, continuing to work in adult films, appearing in some gay-themed mainstream films, and making PSAs for safe sex.Sean Paul Lockhart (born October 31, 1986) is an American film actor and director, known for Milk (2008), Judas Kiss (2011), and Triple Crossed (2013).
Furthermore, when it became clear that he may have been a motivating factor, Corrigan cooperated fully with authorities in helping them find their suspects. Corrigan was never accused of conspiring with Cuadra and Kerekes, and no evidence of such a claim has ever surfaced. Though his involvement, however indirectly, in a murder could have damaged his career, it has not. Cuadra and Kerekes appear to have killed Kocis to get Lockhart out of his contract and legally able to work for other producers under the name Brent Corrigan. His home was also set on fire to conceal evidence. In January of 2007, Kocis was found stabbed 28 times, with his throat cut and nearly decapitated. Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, who expressed interest in working with him, but knew that would be difficult with Kocis staking a claim on his name.
Before that, however, Lockhart/Corrigan met two other producers, Harlow R. This lawsuit was to go before a judge in February of 2007. When Lockhart launched a website,, Kocis sued him for copyright infringement, cybersquatting, and breach of contract for using his screen name. This led to a second, in which producer Bryan Phillips (born Bryan Charles Kocis) laid a claim to the screen name "Brent Corrigan", effectively ensuring that Lockhart would not be able to work in the adult industry under his established screen name and therefore might have difficulty finding work at all.
The first was when he disclosed that he had been underage in his first pornographic videos. Has been at the center of two major controversies.
