Philipp Tanzer (born 31 December 1977) is a German men's rights activist and former adult entertainer in gay films, in which he performed under the stage name Logan McCree.
His surname alludes to his love for God, "McCree" deriving from Scottish Gaelic words meaning "son of the king".
[2] In September 2007, Raging Stallion president Chris Ward and Screaming Eagle XXX owner Jake Deckard announced the latter company's first production, an adult film titled Ink Storm starring McCree alongside other heavily tattooed performers.
[18]: 139–140 The film won Best Movie at the 2009 Grabby Awards, with McCree winning Best Actor, Best Screenplay and sharing Best Duo with D'Angelo.
NakedSword chief executive Tim Valenti wrote that McCree "lends an underground, bad-ass energy to the raw sexuality of mainstream porn".
[20] He later starred in Rear Deliveries, a film based on Raging Stallion's distribution warehouse,[21] and Ink Stain, which focused on his heavily tattooed body.
[22] McCree also starred in Port of Entry, a pornographic film featuring sex scenes between bikers, sailors and dockworkers.
[23] The same year, McCree starred in the sci-fi pornographic film The Visitor as Epoc, an alien researcher who is unable to physically interact with his human subjects as he explores the Castro, a well-known gay neighbourhood in San Francisco.
[28] The following year, McCree starred in the Raging Stallion film Giants alongside prominent performers such as Wilfried Knight.
[36] He later ran unsuccessfully in the 2022 Highland Council election, seeking to represent the North, West and Central Sutherland ward.
[37][38] Tanzer describes himself as usually being a centrist, but says he feels forced to take strong views on issues due to his belief that "too much liberalism" has been damaging in the past.
[40] Tanzer has complained on social media against "LGBT indoctrination" within education and religion, as well as alleged focuses on Black Lives Matter and "radical environmental activism".
[35] The Scottish Family Party has called for education into "the correlations between homosexual relationships and physical and mental health problems" and their leader, Richard Lucas, has drawn comparisons between incest and same-sex marriage.
[42] In October 2019, Tanzer featured in the BBC Radio 4 programme Into the Manosphere, following his journey from Scotland to Chicago for that year's ICMI event.
[44] In November of that year, the group held a march in Edinburgh alongside the group Split the Difference, with Tanzer calling for more public discussion about "men's mental health, suicide, homelessness, custody issues, male victims of abuse and other issues men face".
[31] The following year, the ICMI reported that Tanzer would be a featured speaker, representing Gender Parity UK and participating in a Q&A session with Carl Benjamin.
[46][47] After retiring from adult films, the Daily Mail quoted Tanzer as saying that he had always held negative views of the industry, reporting that he said to only have worked in pornography because he "needed the money".
[4] According to Ben Chasny, who wrote and performed the soundtrack for The Drifter, Tanzer DJ'd the film's launch event in Italy.
