I’m sitting on seven years’ experience from leaving corporate America – I did real estate for 10 years – getting into gay nightlife, go go dancing to bartending, getting into adult entertainment and becoming a porn actor. I read an article about people who create their opportunities, like their own web content. Then I met Michael Vaccaro who has his web series, Child of the 70s.

I went to San Francisco, LA and Chicago many times, and even London. I did want to create my own porn line at one point, but it wasn’t exciting me the way I thought it would. It sounds like you gave it up because you wanted to refocus, and not because of some major negative experience… Overall, the actors take care and look out for each other. Sometimes the food isn’t as healthy as you’d want – when you work up an appetite like that, you need protein, energy, good quality food!Īlso, in gay porn, it’s a tight-knit community. There are craft services, a runner, someone to do your hair, make up. Enjoy! Ī post shared by Mike Dreyden on at 5:04am PDT So this is Day 6 of the Cancer Awareness Selfie Challenge! I would now like nominate Baltimore Russell! You must post a selfie for ten days straight with a new nomination each day. Maybe I could meet someone outside of just getting laid.’ I thought ‘This is a unique opportunity, different to Grindr or Scruff. I finished my theater degree, did some off-Broadway stuff, some independent films and went from there.Īnd I wanted to meet somebody. I came back to New York with a plan, and hit the ground running. The there was then a time I was done with it, ready for a different path. I didn’t think it would go anywhere, but I sort of made a name for myself, riding that wave to see where it would take me. I come from a theater and film background, but I ended getting into nightlife and porn on a lark. When I did it, I was a couple years back after living in LA, figuring things out. Tell us more about the years leading up to your appearance on Love Is Blind… He said ‘Are you serious?!’ He watched some of it and was like: ‘That lighting they used is horrible!’ I had that conversation once after a month of seeing someone and he was very curious. If I think it’s going to go somewhere I might bring it up, because I don’t want them to be blind-sighted by it. That’s not the case not for me anyway! Now there’s distance since my last film, the guy’s I’ve been meeting lately won’t know about it. People assume because you’ve done porn, you have sex all the time. Either they wanted to work with me, or it was: ‘You’re a porn star, let’s go have sex.’ Does your porn work impact on your romantic life?īack in my porn life I didn’t date much. You didn’t come home completely empty-handed then!

Yes – as a matter of fact, I still have the mat from that day! That didn’t look like it was going so well! They look interesting… I saw the couple who did the AntiGravity yoga class. Have you seen any of the other guys who took part in Love Is Blind ? There are some interesting date ideas… I don’t have time really, as much as I’d like to have someone involved. He seemed fun and we had a lot in common, but we just couldn’t reconnect. I was a little disappointed in the beginning.

We’re roughly the same age, but I don’t think he was as connected to the world as I am. A lot of it went over his head, I think! I was taken aback by some of his answers. There were moments when I was literally messing around with him to see where has brain was at.
