Apologies to Gerome Ragni and James Rado for my revisionist version of their lyrics from the song "Hair," but for this interview it was appropriate.

A relative newbie in the business (less than a year), Riley Burke has amassed an impressive resume in front of the camera. Chi Chi LaRue was his “first” — a scene with Steven Ponce and Jorden Michaels in Click — then roles for Titan, Falcon, Lucas Entertainment, Jet Set and more, plus online scenes for Playgirl, Cocky Boys, Suite 703 and others.

The work has been plentiful and good, and it’s helping to pay his way through school. Less than a year from now, Riley expects to complete his R.N. After that, his goal is to earn a B.S., then continue to work towards his goal of becoming a Physician Assistant.

That doesn’t mean he’ll be dropping off porn radar screens in a year. Right now, he says, “I think I will continue doing porn if I can find the time. For as long as I'm still young and got it I'm gonna do what I can.”

Besides school and porn, Riley is happy to take a turn doing the occasional bartending gig. It’s fun, the tips are good and you can meet a lot of people.

If you haven’t seen him, Riley is a boy with body hair, although this green-eyed "boy" stands six-foot-two and packs 8 1/2 inches. Riley likes the pelt, and he especially likes guys who like him to be hairy, whether they have body hair themselves or not. Occasionally he will wax his lower back, or his upper arms, to better enhance his musculature, but the rest of the torso is pretty much off limits to razors and the like.

He did wax his chest once a long time ago, and he recently did an online shaving scene for CockyBoys.com, after which he filmed another scene for a different site, so it's possible you may see him with less body hair than usual. Riley says the body hair has cost him a few jobs, but he likes it and he thinks that the all-important pendulum of pubic acceptance is slowly swinging towards the acceptance of body hair as something that's both masculine and sexy.

By the way, don't confuse Riley Burke with Blake Riley, another guy with body hair. Burke says, "LOL we always fight about that. Jesse Santana just told me at an awards show a few weeks ago in Chicago, Cort Donovan onstage was calling for Blake and said Riley Burke by accident, so yes deff we get confused A LOT."

Riley is still a free agent. When asked about this, he says, "There have been quite a few offers for me to be an exclusive, but most of them came when I was just starting in porn and I wanted to work with every studio first before I settled down with just one. But there definitely are a few studios at this point in my career I wouldn't mind settling down with."

A toothbrush holder was his first sex toy, and he's still waiting for somebody to tie him up. If you ply him with chocolate and almonds, that somebody might be you.
