James Deen

Prolific porn star/director James Deen has an uncommon mainstream appeal that reaches farther than that of most male performers. At age 18, the skinny and boyish Pasadena native was quick to fulfill his longtime dream of having sex on camera. He had no contacts, but he started attending Hollywood parties in hopes of making connections, and it worked. His unconventional looks, passionate sexual style, and big dick drew plenty of attention from young women, who are the least likely porn fans but turned out to be some of the most avid. James did his first feature with alt-porn auteur Eon McKai. Soon major studios took notice and he began working with some of the biggest, including Zero Tolerance, New Sensations, and Hustler. James has used his sexual and comic talents in such roles as Robin in Vivid Entertainment's smash hit Batman XXX A Porn Parody and Egon Spengler in Hustler's This Ain't Ghostbusters XXX. He's also been cast in dramatic roles, including The Stepmother 4 from Sweet Sinner. He's a reliable stud in any gonzo or fetish flick, giving starlets the rough treatment they love in movies like Manhandled 4 from Belladonna Entertainment/Evil Angel. With his own James Deen Productions studio, he's directed and starred in such phenomenal flicks as the I Came On James Deen's Face and James Deen's Sex Tapes series. In 2009, James became the youngest to win Male Performer of the Year honors at the AVN, XBIZ, and XRCO awards shows. James was once again the Male Performer of the Year for both XBIZ and AVN in 2013. He also tied with superstar Sunny Leone for AVN Crossover Star of the Year in 2013 and took home the same award on his own in 2014. Since 2004, he has performed in more than 3,000 scenes. With demand for James Deen at an all-time high, the enterprising star launched JamesDeenStore.com in December 2012. In addition to featuring his movies and adult novelty line from Doc Johnson, the store stocks an eclectic array of items James designed and/or approves, including apparel he wears, books he reads, and the sex toys of some his favorite female porn stars. Mainstream attention for James has steadily grown, too, with feature coverage in online, print, and TV media such as Jezebel.com, Rolling Stone, E! Entertainment Television, and ABC’s “Nightline.” In August 2013, James made his mainstream movie debut costarring with Lindsay Lohan in The Canyons, directed by Paul Schrader (American Gigolo, Auto Focus) and written by Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho, Less Than Zero). During and after filming, James never stopped filming porn and XXX remains his first love. "I plan to have sex on camera for as long as people want to see me naked," James says. "I am the luckiest boy alive."
