Raging Stallion Studios

Raging Stallion President Chris Ward today announced that superstar performer Ricky Sinz has been signed by the San Francisco-based studio to a lifetime contract to perform in films, print media, and web markets, as well as to develop new projects aimed at the mainstream adult market.  Ricky Sinz recently completed his first year as a Raging Stallion exclusive, earning more industry awards than any other performer during the past year, including 3 GayVNS and 3 Grabbys for his highly acclaimed performance as a drill sergeant in GRUNTS, last year's top movie. Sinz was recently filmed in the lead role for To The Last Man, Raging Stallion's big budget western epic scheduled to release Thanksgiving weekend.  Sinz has also been developing a male-focuses straight line that features major gay porn stars in straight roles.

"We have enjoyed working with Ricky over the past year, and his performance in GRUNTS really helped make the film the classic that it has become," commented Ward.  "His performance in To The Last Man is over-the-top--the man really should be in Hollywood! He is a real talent and we at Raging Stallion are thrilled that he will be part of the studio for the long haul."

When asked about becoming a Raging Stallion lifetime exclusive Ricky had this to say:"When it came time for me to re-sign with the studio, Chris Ward, Kent Taylor and I were all on the same page with where I wanted my career to go and where they wanted me to go. I know a lifetime exclusive is a rarity these days, so I was honored when I was offered this opportunity. I have never had a bad experience at Raging Stallion and they have treated me like family since the beginning. I have learned so much about this industry and about myself by taking this path in life and the only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner!"

Ricky "The Hammer" Sinz was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Ricky spent eight years in the US Army as a Special Forces Sergeant First Class.

Ricky Sinz partnered up with adult film legend Gunner and Scott LaRock and became co-owner of the straight adult film studio Hole and a Heartbeat Studios which became a huge success and branched out into a record line and fashion line. The notorious studio featured all straight men who were heavily tattooed and they were known for throwing the wildest and raunchiest parties in Philly. He served as a director and a producer on several films for the studio as well as being an adult film actor.

Ricky Sinz later dissolved his partnership with Hole and a Heartbeat studios and signed as a Raging Stallion Studios Exclusive in 2007.

GRUNTS was the first gay porn film released on Blu-ray Disc and a film with a record breaking production budget in the gay porn industry.

Ricky Sinz is an example of a star who has been able to push the limits in the adult industry to new heights, he is up front and honest about his lifestyle and who he is. He may be one of the baddest boys porn has ever seen but he has a soft side as well.  He has raised over one million dollars since 1998 to support foundations ranging from homeless shelters, HIV clinics, disabled veterans, cancer foundations, and various other charities and events to help the global community and to push the gay rights movement mainstream.
