I think I mentioned before in this thread before that Branson did one of the best disappearing acts of them all. Did his contracted number of movies for Falcon and got out. Was one of the lucky ones that his real name didn't get leaked.
Since he was in and out of the business so fast, probably not many people knew his real name. And if he had a common name, it could be difficult to find the right person without a birth date. Tom Chase could possibly know but probably wouldn't want to disclose it (which is admirable) but probably want to put the work in to try to clear up if he is still alive or not. Michael Stabile might be the best person for someone to reach out to. He made the Chuck Holmes/Falcon documentary Seed Money. I think Falcon allowed him access to model releases to try to find people that performed for Falcon for this documentary. Don't think he mentioned Branson as one that he found or tried contacting for an interview, but if he still has all the notes he made from model releases, he could potentially clarify things. It's a big ask, but worth a try and if multiple people ask, he might be more inclined to go a little detective work.
