Julian Andretti
Career
Born Julián Ríos, Andretti served six years in the US Marine Corps, including deployment in the Gulf War, and worked as a personal trainer before entering adult film at around age 25. He initially performed under the name Jordan Rivers in bisexual and gay productions for Chi Chi LaRue before moving exclusively into heterosexual content, working across roughly 500 films over thirteen years for Vivid, New Sensations, VCA and Metro Pictures, including a role in the 2005 feature Pirates. He was nominated for the 2000 Hot d’Or for Best American Actor and, in 2006, co-founded the production company Twisted Pink with Derek Dozer. He married fellow performers Jill Kelly in 2000 (divorced 2002) and Lanny Barby in 2005 (divorced 2007).
Signature: A documented pre-industry career as a working personal trainer, carried into one of the higher credit counts in this field — roughly 500 films across four major studios.

Sources and verification1 source
- Birthplace disputed — some sources cite West Covina, California, rather than Santiago
- A cited 2011 "best pornographic actors" reader-poll win from a Spanish news portal is a survey result, not an industry-body award, and is not scored as one
- No second independent source could be found: no other-language Wikipedia article exists (only list entries under the Andretti surname), and Wikidata’s statements are self-referential imports from this same English Wikipedia page rather than genuine external references
- The 2000 Hot d’Or Best American Actor nomination is stated only on his own Wikipedia page; Wikipedia’s own Hot d’Or article lists a winner for that category and year (Mark Davis) but does not corroborate any nomination for Andretti
