He was dressed in blue jeans and Nike sneakers, with a pair of aviator-style sunglasses dangling from the V neck of an open polo shirt, and his longish blond hair was tousled and curly.

A bear of a man, Franz makes love with feral ferocity, strapping his mate around his body, biting her neck in carnivore passion. It takes a special kind of actor to play Franz, and Lamprecht, who looks like a cross between Emil Tannings and Hermann Goering, has the stolid majesty for the role.
