A television ad "featuring" Alan Benyak was "taken down" earlier this week, when democrat candidate Tom Wolf was informed of Benyak's past. Wolf is running for Governor of Pennsylvania.

A campy low-budget pornographic horror film is enjoying newfound popularity after one of its actors was spotted appearing in a campaign commercial for the Democrat running for governor of Pennsylvania, the film's director said on Wednesday.

The "actor" is a lawyer in Pittsburgh and"appeared as 'Mr. Cannibal' in the 2013 horror film 'Breeding Farm,' an unrated movie about four friends kidnapped and held captive at a human breeding farm."

Reuters describes:

A preview shows a man torturing women and saying: "You were watched, chosen and now you're gonna breed."

Director Cody Knotts said he went public with Benyak's appearance in the porn flick.

"I just tweeted that I liked his performance better in our video than in the Tom Wolf one," Knotts said. "It's my job as a director to promote the film."

The "controversy" has seen increased sales for the film.

The film has risen to be Troma's top-selling Blu-Ray disc on Amazon.com, he said. It is only available back-ordered on BestBuy.com as well, said the director, who said he is a Republican and has run for state office.
