With all of recent controversy surrounding OnlyFans (and what many people were saying about the company and their lack of respect and consideration for sex workers), we just wanted to make it clear… that not only do we respect sex workers and performers – but we appreciate them!
Whether you started an OnlyFans account last month or you collaborate with major studios, we appreciate you. Whether you’re the star in the scene making that money (while taking the money shot), or you’re the genius that’s producing behind the scenes, we appreciate you.
So we decided to pay respect to some of the biggest stars that have put themselves out there and have paved the way for many performers today, from both the past and present. Here’s a list of 21 Gay Porn Icons that have kept us entertained throughout the years.
COLTON FORD
This well endowed performer can easily be thrown into the debate of Daddy of all Daddies, Colton Ford (real name Glenn Soukesian) has starred in many celebrated gay films. He won the Gay Performer of the Year honor at the 2003 GayVN Awards. Ford has also ventured into an acting and singing career. He has performed in scripted television shows, on off-broadway and has released dance/club music as recently as of this summer.
BOBBY BLAKE
This legend has appeared in more than 100 adult films. Not only did Blake (real name Edgar Gaines) dominate the industry, he dominated a lot of his costars in the bedroom (or alley, dungeon, jail cell… you get the point). Blake retired from porn in 2001 and has detailed his life in porn in his 2008 autobiography My Life in Porn: The Bobby Blake Story. Blake now resides in Atlanta, Georgia and owns a security training business.
ZEB ATLAS
This Body Building Greek God was quite the sight for sore eyes during his adult entertainment career from 2003-2012. Atlas (real name Andy Bick) has worked for major studios like Raging Stallion Studios and Falcon Studios. Clocking in at 6’3’, 225 pounds and slanging a perfect c—k, Atlas has starred in dozens of films.
BRENT EVERETT
Brent Everett was one of the most popular adult stars in the early to mid 2000’s. As the years have gone on, Everett has went from twink to twunk to full on gym jock status. He’s been seen in scenes in just about every scenario and position. Working with major studios from 2003-2010, Everett went on to start his own website and has since joined the platform Just For Fans.
CODY CUMMINGS
Cody Cummings identifies as Bisexual. He has starred in countless adult films, both in gay and heterosexual productions (and very often merging the two for bisexual threesomes). Cummings (real name Kevin Lengyel), has been deemed an All American Stud. He has been featured on multiple covers of Men Magazine and has worked with major adult studios. He still dabbles in sectors of the adult entertainment industry but now maintains a career as a personal trainer and health coach.
MARC WILLIAMS
It’s just something about those southern men. Williams was born in 1980 in Louisiana. While he may only stand at 5’7”, Williams has an impressive 10” d—k. He has worked for a myriad of big name studios and was deemed a Dom Top in the industry with an affinity for leather.
ANTONIO BIAGGI
Puerto Rican papi. Antonia Davila, better known by his stage name Antoni Biaggi was born in 1978 in Puerto Rico before settling in Florida as a young adult. He has performed in countless scenes but has made the jump to producer and entrepreneur. Biaggi made his debut in the 2007 Raging Stallion film Grunts. He has collaborated with major studios but now owns and operate his own website. Biaggi has taken his talents to the stage, producing and starring in a (sort of) one man show Antonio Biaggi’s Naughty & Nuts!.
LANDON CONRAD
This All American muscular jock (and now) retired performer has starred in a number of films. Chiseled jaw line, perfect cut c—k and equally dominant and submissive energy – Conrad (born in 1978 in Salt Lake City, Utah) was the it boy for quite a few years. He was a muse for Falcon Studios and has been named as Gay Performer of the Year at the XBIZ Awards.
ADAM KILLIAN
This sex siren was born in 1975 in Monterey, California. Killian has starred in dozens of films and has received multiple honors and awards for his diverse work in gay porn. He started his career in adult entertainment in 2003. His most prolific work in porn has been with studio Lucas Entertainment, where he has starred in over 55 films. Killian still performs (collaborating with both professional and amateur performers), shifting most of his work to his own Onlyfans and Just For Fans platforms.
AL PARKER
One of the OG’s of the game, Al Parker (real name Drew Okum) was born in1952 in Massachusetts. He achieved gay icon status throughout the 70’s and 80’s for his work. A lot of his work was inspired by his visit to Woodstock Music Festival in 1969 – where Parker had a lot of spontaneous sexual encounters, the most notable in the back of a van in which Parker re-enacted in several of his adult scenes. He starred in several movies for Colt studios before starting his own studio with his longtime partner Steve Taylor. After Taylor’s death (due to complications from AIDS), Parker began producing safe sex films. Parker shortly after died of complications from AIDS in San Francisco in 1992.
FRANCOIS SAGAT
Known for his distinctive scalp tattoo, Francois Sagat was born in 1979 in Cognac, France. His first adult film feature was at the age of 25, under the stage name Azzedine. He moved to the United States shortly after and gained notoriety in the film Arabesque for Raging Stallion, using his birth name. He is most known for his collaboration with Titan Media studios, where he has starred in, produced and directed adult films. Sagat was named Best Performer of the Year at the 2007 GayVN Awards. After a short lived (three year) retirement, Sagat returned back to the gay porn industry in 2017 and continues to release new productions both professionally and on his Just For Fans platform.
MICHAEL LUCAS (PRESENT)
This Russian adult star achieved astronomical heights of success in the gay porn industry. Born in Moscow in 1972, Michael Lucas graduated college with a degree in law and was a successful model appearing on countless European magazines before making the leap to adult entertainment. He got his start in America with Falcon Studios before he founded his own successful studio, Lucas Entertainment. Lucas has received numerous nominations and awards in the adult video industry (during his career that started in 1996), as a performer, director and producer. Lucas was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame in 2009. Lucas continues to work behind the scenes, producing and directing content for his studio AND has an OnlyFans account.
DIESEL WASHINGTON
Standing at 6’6”, weighing 250 pounds and slangin’ 10 cut inches – Diesel Washington was bound to dominate the industry, as a Dom Top. Born in 1976, this Brooklyn, New York native worked in the industry from 2006-2016. This dark chocolate stud has been contracted by some of the biggest studios, including Falcon Studios, Raging Stallion, Lucas Entertainment and Titan Media (where he was exclusively contracted for a number of years).
JEFF STRYKER
Jeff Stryker, born in 1962 in Carmi, Illinois, is known for his legendary career as an adult entertainment performer – starring in bisexual, gay and straight adult films. Stryker is best known as one of the best selling performers for Vivid Entertainment. One of the first adult stars to expand into the merchandising field, Stryker had a line of dildos and action figures. He has appeared on numerous adult magazine covers and have starred in dozens of films. He has been inducted into the AVN, GayvVN, Grabby and Hustler Hall of Fame.
ROCCO STEELE (PRESENT)
Rocco Steele decided to leave corporate America to pursue a career in the gay porn industry in 2014 – and there has been no looking back since. Steele has had a meteoric rise to the Top (no pun intended), as he has amassed a huge following on social media and is one of the most sought after performers in the industry. I’m sure his 10”x7” endowment has had a little something to do with that popularity. Steele was born in 1964 in Ohio, he moved to New York City after he graduated college. After working in retail corporate for 14 years, Steele bulldozed his way into the gay porn industry. He has worked for renowned studios such as Lucas Entertainment, Raging Stallion, Tim Tales, Butch Dixon, Raw Fuck Club and Treasure Island Media. In the spring of 2015 he opened his own production studio, Rocco Steele Studios. He has since launched his own line of underwear, sex toys and even his own lube. You can see the majority of Steele’s latest adult scenes on his 4myFans and Just For Fans platform.
CADE MADDOX (PRESENT)
Cade Maddox has made quite the name for himself in the gay porn industry, in just a few short years. Maddox (who was born in 1988 in Gautier, Mississippi), has worked with just about every major (and minor) studio out there. The muscled country jock is a Total Top in his scenes and has collaborated with everyone who’s anyone. He won the 2021 GayVN Favorite C—k Award. Maddox produces amateur videos, which can be seen on his Onlyfans, Just For Fans and Pornhub accounts.
RHYHEIM SHABAZZ (PRESENT)
Rhyheim Shabazz stands at an impressive 6’3”, 185 pounds and boasts a 9” d—k. No wonder why he is one of the most popular adult stars and content creators in the industry today. Born in 1981 in New Jersey, Shabazz has gained a following of over 1 million followers on Twitter. He has worked with studios such as Cocky Boys, Tim Tales and Men.com – but the majority of his films can be seen on his highly popular OnlyFans platform.
ARMOND RIZZO (PRESENT)
Good things come in small packages. I guess that saying can be applied to the 4’11” (mostly bottom) adult performer Armond Rizzo. Born in 1990 in Aurora, Illinois – Rizzo served in the United States Navy before entering the adult entertainment industry. He made his debut in a scene for Randy Blue in 2013 and moved onto Raging Stallion studios from there. Rizzo has won a GayVN and a Grabby award for his work and is one of the most searched entertainers on the adult site Pornhub. Rizzo continues to do professional shoots but also produces his own content for his Just For Fans.
MAX KONNOR (PRESENT)
Max Konnor was born in 1986 in Maryland but grew up in Georgia. Possessing a muscular build at only 5’6”, Konnor’s 10” d—k has made him one of the most popular performers of the last decade. He started his career in 2009 and since has become a multiple award winning performer. Konnor has worked for major studios, starring in dozens of films. He continues to work professionally and produce his content for his amateur channels. He also started a boutique management company for diverse adult performers in the adult entertainment industry.
ALEX ROMAN (PRESENT)
Born in 1995, this European performer has an affinity for extremely well endowed men. Alex Roman has starred in multiple scenes for Tim Tales. Roman started his career in 2017 and has quickly made a name for himself in the industry and on social media (with over 300k Twitter followers). He continues to star in scenes for major studios but the majority of his work can be seen in his AR Vidz amateur scenes on his OnlyFans, where he collaborates with other content creators from all over the globe.
TIM KRUGER (PRESENT)
This endowed German Ginger is one of the most successful men in the industry. Born in 1981 in Dusseldorf, Germany – Tim Kruger started his career in 2007. Early in his career, he worked for a number of studios like Lucas Entertainment and Hot House before starting his own company, Tim Tales. Kruger still acts in scenes, where he dominates bottoms with his massive 10” uncut c—k, but he mainly focuses on producing and directing. Tim Tales has employed many performers in it’s unscripted productions (a handful of them have even been mentioned on this very list). With nearly half a million Twitter followers, Kruger’s popularity continues to grow globally.
These ICONS are not ranked in any particular order, they are simply worthy of a mention on this list of notable talent. With that said, there are many names that could’ve easily been placed on this list. What gay porn entertainer(s) would you add to our list of icons?
Todd Stephens is my pick 100%
Todd Stephens. All the way
I’m very much a fan of the likes of Chad “111/2 inches” Douglas, Pierce Daniels, Keith Ardent, Steve Collins, Ed “Monster Cock” (13″) Wiley (AKA Myles Longue) just to name a few (Al Parker) So many have passed on, but there area plethora of new ones that are awesome, Johnny Hill, Chris Damned, Jaxton Wheeler, Romeo Davis, Alpha Wolfe, Tex Davidson, Micky Carpathio, Dallas Steele, Brendan Patrick, Vadim Romanov , Bishop Angus, Vander Pulaski, Gianni Maggio and Dirk Caber…just to name a few.
For the past year or so, I’ve been compiling a list of current day porn stats i find attractive, the list is at 435 names so far, and under constant revision, mainly based on the presence of facial hair, which I require, a moustache is a requirenent…ever since the mid 1980s, when I started patronizing adult book stores and peep shows, not old enough at the time to get into a bar
I would add the following to the list:
Joey Stefano
Tom Chase
Carlo Masi
Brent Corrigan
Eric Rhodes
Caesar
Tom Katt
Eric Evans
Zack Spears
Rick Donovan
Steve Rambo
Kris Evans though
Luke Garrett of ColtStudioGroup will always be my all-time favorite, because he looked similar to Stone Cold Steve Austin (and I love gay guys who look similar to Stone Cold Steve Austin) in Wide Strokes when he did his scene with his then boyfriend, Gage Weston!
Austin Black
Dred Scott, Rod Barry, Mason Jarr, and Luke Savage should be on the list
Where are Caesar and Tom Katt? How could they basically be left off the list? Caesar basically taught me you can be a fully masculine man and a huge cocksucker as well.
Since everyone is placing their favorites, here i go with the ones I think should have made the list: Donnie Russo, JC Carter, Lucio Saints, Vinnie D’Angelo, Chad Douglas, Aaron Trainer, Andrew Justice, Austin Wilde, Vander (from Chaosmen) and Aiden (from Corbin Fisher).
Why so many black guys?
List has no merit, its just guys the writer thinks is hot (must like black guys)…he thinks they are it, great, but they’re not the blueprint…how could they when most were born after 1995 and the “golden era” of porn was late 70s and 80s
Al Parker was the blueprint for 80s porn.
The list should have included
Joey Stefano
Rick Donovan
Danny Brown
Chris Lord
Lee Ryder
David Ashfield
Rod Garetto
Keith Ardent
Ryan Idol
Donnie Russo
Hank Hightower
Steve Cannon
Chris Burns
Les Stine
Joe Simmons
Jason Branch
Chad Hunt
Joe Magnum
Zak Spears
Steve Hurley
Jordan Garrison
Lance Gear
Cole Tucker
Ones from more recent porn
Phenix Saint
Brenn Wyson
Parker London
Vinnie D’Angelo
Collin Steele
Chris Steel
Michael Soldier
Dolan Wolf
Christian Wilde
Alex Killian
Wolf Hudson
Dean Monroe
Recent/current
Colby Jansen
Colby Keller
CJ Parker
Steve Parker
Girth Brooks
Ricky Sinz
Bo Sinn
Each one of these guys brought something different or unique aspect to the screen.
Lance Gear, muscle bald guy, Cole Tucker tatted daddy, Danny Brown cute guy next door, Wolf Hudson verbal and well acted, even Bo Sinn, the kink tatted and rough guy.. Chad Hunt, huge dick but not the typical porn look.
Geez, racist much?
Whoa! Your statement/criticism of the author’s addition of several black porn actors, says a lot about you. I mean, you can’t pretend that you aren’t racist. No one wants to hear the predictable excuses or attempts to paint yourself as a victim of cancel culture or the assault against free-speech. You should probably peel back those layers of why you have an issue with ‘black men’ porn actors, and why they aren’t valid enough to list. Who are you and why is your opinion more important than someone else’s?
I don’t think the guy was trying to be a racist. The world in general. Both gay and straight. Jump to scream racism if the word black is not encrusted in compliments and praise. I have had amazing sex with both black and white men but I think that we are starting to make white an ugly word and that is not fair. Think about this for a moment, had he said the same thing about white men, not one person would have said a thing. I feel for discrimination because I understand what it’s like to grow up being discriminated against for being gay. Some of us do we’re gay as loudly as a man shows his skin as being black. Let’s not get too overwhelmed with white and black. White it’s not an ugly word and should not be discriminated against because black men and women suffered as they did during slavery. Just a thought
First of all, you’re statement about “white” being a bad word is you projected other issues onto what’s happening here. The author listed a group of porn starts of various racial/ethnic backgrounds. This dude could have simply said that 70/80s stars should have been recognized. Instead, he brought up black men, unnecessarily and in a implied negative fashion. I noticed he didn’t call out any other ethnicities or race. So, yes, he is being racist. Don’t be an enabler or apologize for racist commentary.
You are a racist piece of shit.
Al Parker was my contact to get in Porn when I first moved back to California. He didn’t initially have work for me but he did send me to an Agent who did. A few years later Al Parker was the director of what I had planned to be my last porn role. This scene didn’t work for me for a variety of reasons, one being Al had decided we needed to use condoms for sucking and none of could get it up. Plus what had been myself with another pornstar had turned a 3 way. I wasn’t into it. Again none of us could maintain an erection and after 20 minutes I decided I wanted out. Let’s tear up the contract. Al Parker was great. Very understanding. One cameraman was pissed but Al Parker treated me with respect. He always did.
Colton Ford, Landon Conrad, Al Parker. Those are the only studs on this list that are worth mentioning. Especially Colton Ford.
Kevin Williams
Derek Cameron
Bill Henson
Steve Henson
Cody Cummings NO
Zeb Atlas Nothing but a wet dream of David Forest.
Many of these guys weren’t even born in porn’s heyday.
These should be included.

Jim Bentley
Jim Cassidy

Jack Wrangler
Joe Simmons
Christian Wilde
Kurt Wilde
Austin Wilde
Tommy D
Phoenix Saint
Marcus Mojo
Tom Chase
Mike Branson
Brian Cruise
Paul Morgan
Travis Wade
Cameron Fox

Rod Barry
Cody Cummings? Not sure he belongs on this list.
I’m certain he doesn’t belong on this list. Bisexual? More like bi-opportunist.
Thank you very much for including me, but I am still actively working in the industry as a model for my company Lucas Entertainment:)
I seriously doubt you are Michael Looseass but if you are, you are a nasty sick fuck. Go film your next movie with ISIS.
JOEY STEFANO !!!!
Yes! And Ryan Idol and Matt Ramsey (aka Peter North)!
yes! and Kevin Williams. List looks too focused on tops
I loved Paul Carrigan and loved to fantasize about having him rape me. Now I fantasize about Oscar Isaac and Edgar Ramirez doing the same to me! Bruise me and scar me!!!
I loved Paul Carrigan too!😍😍😍😍
Ricky sinz
Joey Stefano, Lee Ryder
But those two are dead. Jerking off to the fact that they are skeletons and rotted is kinda gross 🤢
You have too much free time
