Why don't UK stars work with Rocco, scared?

I can just about see that scenario with Rocco: although the recent preponderance in his stuff of, shall we say, less-'liberated' E Euro females, possibly inadequately briefed as to upcoming 'events', gives me pause.
What also worries me is the possibility of 'guilt by association': Nacho Vidal in the newer material, and that curly-haired, middle-aged Euro guy (the one in the Hannah Coleman scene- and see her past comments here) in the recent rehashes, certainly seem to me to cross the line from psycho-games to misogyny. Laura Angel seemed also a lot less than impressed, and she's seen it all......
I suppose it's down to what the individual girls like/will stand for, but while I'm prepared to accept that for Rocco it IS a game, I'm not so sure about some of his co-protagonists.
And I do find a lot of his stuff a turn-on, so his taking a back-seat performance-wise may not be the ideal for my future viewing.

Remigio Zampa.

He certainly acts differently in features like the d'Amato film, Raiders, but perhaps he really is acting there.

Ah, yes: it wasn't until I saw him recently in a couple of Italian efforts that the Rocco bell rang- and these two scenes were similarly (apparently or otherwise) 'misogynistic'.
I'll try and dig them out- I'd be interested in another viewpoint.

I was saying that in Raiders, he wasn't misogynistic, but that he was playing a non-misogynistic role.

Haven't seen that.
It's on my list.......
