Three Brothers

Three Brothers, co-written and directed by Gino Colbert and Sam Slam, was released in 1998 by New Age Pictures, an antecedent of Gino Pictures and Gino Pictures Gold. Vince and his two siblings appeared in one scene together, but did not sexually interact. Reviews were mostly positive: ManNet.com: "The directors have done an incredible job with the charms and talents of Vince, Shane and Hal Rockland, all three phenomenally beautiful, hung and uncut." [3] Adult Video News: "Four stories, three brothers, two great directors: it's one sexy movie! It also earns one of the very few five-A perfect ratings given out by AVN. Gino Colbert takes his mainstream expertise and puts together one of the most anticipated videos of the year... Vince Rockland is by far the best." [4] The commercial success of Three Brothers was fueled in part by the turbulent personal lives of the Rockland siblings. Notes Adult Video News in their review, "Hardcore fans have heard of the Rockland [brothers] fleeing the business to find religion, and this is the shoot they left the business with after completing their one scene together." [4]

Awards

In 1998, Vince won Best Actor from the GayVN Awards and Gay Erotic Video Awards for Three Brothers. He and his brothers (together with scene partner Derek Cameron) shared "Best Group Scene" and "Best Oral Scene" Gay Erotic Video Awards for the same film [ citation needed ].
