J. D. Slater

Donnie Russo

[biff30xx]

No-one's mentioned some of the hot black guys from those earlier days in the 1980s/90s, though some of their movies have been resurrected on DVD, as per the snap below showing Tory Bell at the front ... I wonder what happened to the likes of him, Daryl Harris, Randy Cochran, T.J. Swan, Joe Simmons, David Watson, and so on.. There was one Ty Jones 'Black Forest Duo' movie, which I think has been reissued on DVD, where he was taking up his ass the most enormous 11-inch dick of Brad Leatherwood ... and he looked like he was loving every inch of it ... So I wonder where all those guys are now ? ...

[nataku]

I miss Michel D'Amours.

[brickbats]

J. D. Slater

Donnie Russo

Both are still alive and kicking. Slater does videography and music for Raging Stallion. Russo still has his website up.

It's sort of sad that the gay porn world seems more segregated now than it was in the 80's. Models like T.J. Swan, Leatherwood and Simmons were successful crossover stars. Nowadays, everything is "thug" this and "thug" that...For the record, I know that Simmons died of AIDS in the 90's.

Michel D'Amours was a regular dancer at The Gaiety Theater in New York back in the day. He is Canadian.

[cliffdweller]

Steve Marks (I heard he was a weatherman before becoming a porn actor)
Drew Andrews
Marc West
Rob Cryston

Steve Regis died of a heart attack, not AIDS as someone said upthread.

[cliffdweller]

I found Steve Marks' FB page. hehe

He's aged a bit, but it's definitely him. Not really much info on it, tho.

[M4P]

I'm a friend of Sean Storm on FB - he passed 40 but I still think he's hot

[Lasher820]

Hank Hightower pretty much retired from porn. He was working at a bar in Long Beach called The Sweetwater. He did not retire because of AIDS, but I do know he was battling an addiction problem. We used to be pretty close friends, but since I moved about 3000 miles away, we usually only say hey on Birthdays or holidays, but he is still around.

[KingOfPain]

Is Hank Hightower positive? I remember someone saying in another thread that he was? And I'm guessing Sean Storm is with all the bareback movies that he does now...

[FanofFiction]

I miss Dick Wolf. I'd love to see him in movies again. He satisfies my kinky nature.

[springb]

I have two pics of actors I'd like help identifying. Only, I can't figure out how to post their pics here. I keep trying and failing. I'm on a MAC, can someone help? Thanks!

[springb]

How do we attach pics? I've tried several ways and none are successful. I am on a MAC. Thanks!

[buckeyrex]

Yes, the 80's were indeed the golden era of gay porn and among the greatest stars of that day, in my opinion, was beefy Rex Morgan....Hunk, Faces, Therapy,Full Load, Hot
Rods Young and Hung II and possibly others....aka Buck Hayes of Colt Studio fame. There is still lots of photo material of this handsome dude all over the internet and some of his videos and still avalable as well. But he dropped out of the scene entirely. Some say he went to Canada while others insist he still lives...and works....in the greater Los Angeles area. Wish I knew.

[bearfuzzlover]

The amazing Gordon Grant. Filled the screen in the 1970's with his masculinity. Part Native American. He is gay and currently lives with his companion in Los Angeles.

Gordon Grant may have lived with his partner in Los Angeles ... but it is not believed to have been recent ... as he was alleged to have died from complications associated with AIDS, in 1991.

[tider39]

Alex Wilcox.....great everything. I think he retired from the porn business. He was so damned hot as a perfect top with that gorgeous cock and body....the young, fem, bottoms loved to see Alex coming to service them and get them hot, hot, hot. No one could fuck as well as Alex and his climax was legendary in volume and distance.

[iogayx]

Eric Hanson, It says he's doing real estate in Florida, Although I wish him all good, I 'm so desperate to see him in gay porn again

I miss him, hope to know more of him!

[biff30xx]

Someone here said earlier that the old pre-Aids porn films were often far better than what we get today and it seems to be the case that some of them have gained 'classic status' in a curious way ... For example, does anyone remember 'The Bigger They Come' and in particular the scene with the gorgeous Matt Cruise (what happened to him?) where he is shaved all over (great close-ups of his hole being shaved) and fucked (more great close-ups: see caps below) ... Luckily a lot of these old movies (this one dates from 1986-87) have resurfaced on DVD in good quality and are well worth searching out ... Matt Cruise only made one other film, called 'Stroke', in 1990 ... I'll have to try and find that one too ...











springb: sorry, I don't know how to upload pics from a Mac ... I'm on Windows Vista

[calimero007]

Tristan Paris is from Montréal, he is now a transexual and I saw him at the last Gay Pride. Let's just say he is really different from what he was in the past.

[Lestatnj]

A lot of porn stars from the past started the rumor they died in an accident or of AIDS. The truth is many of them are alive and they didn't want their past to reveal itself as they try to live normal lives now. The "where are they now" reporters can have it's disadvantages when you're trying to forget your past.

Here's the incredible Eric Manchester. A 1980's icon and gay for pay who always topped. Currently married to a woman and has 3 grown children.

Eric is bi/gay & did NOT always top. I've seen him bottom in Crosswire, Powerline, The Size Counts, Falcon's Splash Shots 2 from 1986. Gay Erotic Video Index states that he also bottoms in The Next Valentino. These were all made in the 80's. Eric never "labeled himself, but he was seen in the early part of the new century in a semi hustlerish part of SF. Rumors on the net also had him returning to porn. Never happened, DAMN.
I've never seen or heard anything about a wife or children. Maybe you are thinking of Chad Knight who was definitely married with children, as well as being 1 of the biggest bottoms ever.

Jack Wrangler passed in late 10 or early 11, of lung cancer. Although gay, jack was married for many year to Margaret Whiting, a popular singer from the 40's/50's & on the NYC cabaret scene. Jack was very much involved in the NY theater scene after leaving porn. I had the pleasure of meeting him in the 80's in NY. A thoroughly nice, friendly & intelligent man.

Things from the net. Dylan Reece went back. to Australia. So too did Sean Young.

Rob Cryson retired to FL. So too did Eric Hanson, who, according to the rumor mill, is into Latino or African American men.

Rumors on the net had Pavel Novotny/Jan Dvorak & a friend being deported from Cuba for acting obnoxiously at the airport.

I've heard the same thing about Kevin Dean.

[missbigpretty]

Two other gay porn stars who transitioned to female are Stonie and Christian Cruz.

[Jase1108]

What a waste

[aagold76]

^^^^ NOW, NOW....When str8 women say gay men are a waste, it's offensive to us- don't do the same thing!

[aberro21]

Jason Branch.... sexy mother ffff

[cliffdweller]

More on Steve Marks...apparently he's a real estate agent in DC and partnered to the executive director of PFLAG.

[LESAINT]

Joe Landon ?

[bubbawwe89]

Chuck Barron!

[TalkDirtyToMe]

Years later I'm still obsessed with Paul Morgan

[Piquechampion]

What happened to Shane Rollins???

[readymade]

My god, this thread is full of misinformation.

Someone else made the Steve Regis correction. Did NOT die of AIDS, but a heart attack (I think brought on by some heart defect). He was supposed to have been a great singer and sang professionally.

Also, somebody said that Roger was a bottom. Completely false. I challenge you to tell me the movies where he bottomed. The only one I'm aware of is a Bullet loop where he simulates fucking with Bruno--no actual penetration.

Poor Dick Masters--whose dick really WAS the master--died of some terrible cancer. Really tragic.

[Hot4Ajay]

Two performers that I'm wondering where they are now...

1: Glenn Woods from Dirty Tony
He hasn't been in a new video in awhile and he is one of my favorite performers.

2: Fireman Cory from All American Heroes
I think he went to straight porn under the name "Matt," but I don't know which site he is with.

Thanks~!

[markntravis]

Where is Michael Vncenzo today?

He is the cutest and hottest. He used to have his own website.

Michael today is listed on rentmen.

[markntravis]

I'm a friend of Sean Storm on FB - he passed 40 but I still think he's hot

Sean used to escort in Seattle.

[gsdx]

One more cums to mind Brian Hawks.

Brian was reportedly killed in a car accident, but it's never been confirmed.



Another fan fave was Kyle Carrington. He did only 2 movies beginning in 1984 ('Tough Competition' and 'Hot Male Mechanics'), but hated doing porn and dropped out of the business in 1986. He moved to Hawaii in 1986 and committed suicide in 1997 after discovering that he was HIV positive.

I have both videos on VHS and it's clear that he wasn't comfortable in the scenes except when he was going 'solo'. He was an incredible masturbater and could mesmerise the view his his 'stick handling'. I strongly feel he would have made more movies had the producers left him to self-pleasure.

[Steamer]

There is a website devoted solely to pornstars who have died, straight and gay, and lists where it can the cause of death. My rough estimate is that

#1 AIDS/AIDS related
#2 Suicide
#3 murder

I suspect there is no other legitimate profession with those statistics

http://thepinkcross.org/

I discovered this site by accident. And your points are correct, but add drug overdoses to the list.
Sad.

[Steamer]

I've not been on this thread for a while.
So, thanks to Ronboy, post #22 and bric-a-brac, post #33 for the information and pics.

[Torgauer]

Ryan Idol - Recently convicted of attempted murder in Sacramento. Bashed his girlfriend over the head with a toilet lid. Now awaiting sentencing.

[InspireGAY]

I miss Eric Hanson a lot...
he still my fav porn star, and imo he is the most handsome man on earth...

[gr82talk2]

What happened to mark rebel-love 80s porn. Stumbled across a scene with him in it and fell in love! Anyone have any info on him ?

[cliffdweller]

I dreamed the other night that Drew Andrews was my neighbor. lol I still haven't been able to find out what happened to him. Seems he hasn't made a film in about 10 years.

I also discovered that the late Steve Regis made a couple of bisexual movies. I tracked one of them down awhile back, and let me just say that watching him eat pussy is...weird. Weirder than watching him bottom (he always looked rather uncomfortable).

[ladude2011]

I found Steve Marks online, he does work for real estate, his picture is up, and wow has he gotten old looking. I guess its true beauty definetely fades.

[Adrock-JD]

What a waste

^^^^ NOW, NOW....When str8 women say gay men are a waste, it's offensive to us- don't do the same thing!

The non offensive implication within that line is that it's a loss for the people who would prefer them another way.

They should state it as such but who the fuck, besides me, talks that way?

[jackmanor]

May I put in a word for oral supremo Michael Brawn, and the Kiss Off cop Axel Garrett.

Also have fond memories of Garrett and Chad Knight in Family Affair; Garrett and Lane Fuller in How The West Was Won.

[gottakum07]

Wow....Jeff really should take some acting classes.

He was my buddy.His real name was Doug Cooper.I met him after he and his lover Wayne started a Vitamin company where they sold vitamins and had acupuncture ."Tim" was very sweet and down to earth. I will miss him Forever and I will miss all my friends who also died of AIDS.

[Simon25]
