<table> </table> NEWARK, N.J. | A rare international alert seeking a man shown in dozens of raw child porn images quickly led to the arrest of a small-time actor, who painted faces at children&#8217;s parties.</p><p>Wayne Nelson Corliss told authorities he had sex with three boys in Thailand six years ago, an experience he described as &#8220;euphoria,&#8221; a prosecutor said Thursday at Corliss&#8217; first court appearance.</p><p>The arrest of the 58-year-old at his Union City apartment late Wednesday capped a two-day global manhunt, just the second time Interpol has sought the public&#8217;s help in tracking down a suspected pedophile. He is thought to have sexually abused at least three boys thought to have been from 6 to 10 years old, according to the international police agency.</p><p>Corliss is charged with producing child pornography and could face 10-20 years in federal prison if convicted, according to the U.S. attorney&#8217;s office in Newark.</p><p>At Thursday&#8217;s hearing, assistant U.S. attorney Lee Vartan said Corliss told the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who arrested him that he had sex with three boys over three nights in Thailand in 2002. &#8220;He described it as &#8216;euphoria&#8217; to the agents,&#8221; Vartan said.</p><p>Vartan also said agents found about 1,000 images of child pornography on computer hard drives in the apartment. They also found several pairs of boys&#8217; underwear, including one that Corliss told authorities he brought back from Thailand as a souvenir, the prosecutor said.</p><p>Corliss, who spoke only twice during the court appearance, said he was a comedy writer and a member of the Screen Actors Guild. He asked for a lawyer to be appointed to him but was not asked to enter a plea. He was being held without bond pending a hearing Monday.</p><p>A SAG spokeswoman said the union does not confirm who is or is not a member.</p><p>Neighbors and colleagues know Corliss, who acted under the stage name Casey Wayne, as a witty man who liked to write and eschewed 9-to-5 jobs in favor of acting and entertainment gigs &#8212; including painting faces and playing Santa Claus at parties.</p><p>Interpol&#8217;s secretary-general, Ronald Noble, said 460 leads flooded in within the first 24 hours after the agency launched its public appeal Tuesday.
