1997 · 2026
CAREER
A performer's record, a short directing chapter, a run of hosting and live work, and one political campaign that became part of the film industry's own awards list.
1997 to 2001: the start
He came in at 33, older than most newcomers and with a decade of club work behind him. The first years were steady feature work; by 2001 he was on the AVN stage twice in one night, for Male Performer of the Year and Best Actor (Film) for Adrenaline.
2004 to 2009: the feature run
Space Nuts in 2004, Pirates in 2006 and Sex Pix in 2007 each brought AVN Best Actor (Video). Debbie Does Dallas... Again added Best Group Sex Scene (Film) in 2008, the same night he took a second Male Performer of the Year. Pirates II earned the Hot d'Or for Best American Actor in Paris in October 2009.
The 2009 Super Bowl became part of the record by accident. On February 1, a clip from Wild Cherries 5 aired on Comcast in Tucson during Super Bowl XLIII. He told AVN it was "an amazing thing" and that traffic to his site rose to about 20,000 hits a day.
Director
IAFD lists eight director credits between 2001 and 2011. TSA: Your Ass Is in Our Hands, released in April 2011 by Hustler Video, is the film usually named as his directing debut; he also wrote and appeared in it. He has described financing and selling his own features to avoid the accounts-receivable problems that came with distribution deals.
Host, wrestler, partner
He co-hosted the Consumer Choice Awards with Jessica Drake in June 2003 and took over Spice Hotel on Spice Live in February 2005. In October 2007 he announced professional wrestling training and appeared for Coastal Championship Wrestling on October 29. In May 2014 he co-hosted the X Run 5K in Miami, and in December 2016 he became a managing partner of All Pleasure Network, running West Coast operations.
Politics
He announced his congressional run on the Pushing The Limits podcast on June 27, 2023, and signed with Coxxx Models five months later. The Republican primary on June 11, 2024 gave him 950 votes, 3.2 percent and fifth place among five candidates. AVN made the campaign a 2025 nominee for Mainstream Venture of the Year.
Awards follow Wikipedia's tally of 21 competitive wins and two halls of fame. An IMDb-listed 2011 XRCO Best Actor win is absent from Wikipedia's XRCO table and is left out.
