Lately it seems appearing in gay erotica may be a prerequisite for getting on to a reality show. First there was Janice Dickinson model Rodrigo De Carli, then New York suitor Robert aka ‘ Unsure’. Next up was Big Brother houseguest James Zinkand and American Gladiator Alex Castro, and now, gay porn pictures and video of Bravo’s Step it Up and Dance hottie  Michael Silas have begun to surface.   

Following in the footsteps of the breakout out hit shows Top Chef and Project Runway, Bravo's Step it Up and Dance feature contestants battling it out on the floor to see who has what it takes to make it big in the cutthroat dance industry.   

Hosted by Show Girls star Elizabeth Berkley, the series has thus far failed to garner top ratings, but new information about one of its contestants may just have people tuning in.   

Twenty-four year-old contestant Silas has apparently already had some camera exposure in videos for Latinboyz.com. Images from a naked photo shoot popped up earlier this week on www.theashtoncruzzoo.blogspot.com, and the world got to see a more exposed side to the sexy dancer.   

On the Bravo website it states, “Mike is an advocate for change and is involved in a variety of charities teaching and hosting dance mentoring programs, LGBT organizations, handicapped Americans and underprivileged minority communities. He lives by the motto, "life is my canvas, the beat is my soul, crank it up and watch me roll."

On the show, Silas' teamates have been less than impressed by his skills on the dance floor. So far producers from the series have not commented on Silas' background in gay porn.
