I’ve been getting a lot of questions about why I left the porn industry when my career’s momentum was snowballing. I doubt anyone will be surprised to hear me say, “it was complicated“. Porn without complication is as likely as a bus full of nuns going to Hooters (credit to my grandfather for that one). Regardless, these questions recently reminded me of a story worth sharing. Not every part of which I’m extremely proud.

Like mine, her star was already rising, but in 1997 Jenna Jameson starred in “Flashpoint”, which definitely increased her star power and helped solidify her as one of the greatest porn stars of all time. Well-deserved, and get well Jenna! We love you.

The story as it relates to me: I was originally cast as the lead in Flashpoint. And then suddenly decided to leave the industry. I basically flaked on the director and the production. For which I apologize to everyone involved. We even went as far as a photo shoot for the cover.

Who knows what would have happened if my course hadn’t changed… and I’d ended up wielding that famous axe on the cover of Flashpoint? But Jenna did the movie justice, understatement of the decade, and if I’d stayed cast… we’d have definitely had to rethink the red suspender usage on the boxcover.

Again, I apologize to Brad and everyone else whose time was wasted when I backed out. I was a kid, I wanted to exit stage left, but I know I left some people in the lurch. Truly sorry.
