Nickolay Petrov: porn star turned hitman

Never get a porn star to do a trained assassin's job. Nickolay Petrov, 23, was arrested and charged with trying to whack a Florida couple. He allegedly tried, and thankfully failed, four times.

The Armenian-born Petrov (real name: Edmon Vardanyan) is accused of attacking an older couple in their 60s at their homes in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Sarasota, Fla. It all started in 2006 when Vardanyan first assaulted Grigori and Galina Komissarchuk. The last incident occured in April, 2007.

Petrov could have earned $20,000 for the job had he successfully killed the couple. Instead he received between $800 to $1,000 for the failed attempts. The couple was targeted for failing to pay a debt.

Petrov`s agent, Howard Andrew of FabScout Entertainment, was shocked when he heard the news. "He's a very nice guy," Andrew said. "I just don't see that [kind of violent behavior] being in his personality."

Jet Set Men producer Chris Steele was equally surprised. He told GayVN, "But he's so professional and nice!`Chad Donovan and I wanted him in 'On Fire!' but his agent told me he was in a little bit of trouble and couldn't travel right now. Well, this is a little more than ‘a little bit of trouble,' I'd say! ... If he hadn't been in trouble, he could have made that much [money] in 'On Fire!'"

The only weapon porn stars should ever touch is the one between their legs.
