Michael Brandon

Career

Brandon debuted in 1989 and co-founded Raging Stallion Studios, later creating its "Monster Bang" subdivision under his own name. He won GayVN Performer of the Year in 2001 and tied for it again in 2002 with Colton Ford — the two men who shared that title also share a place on this list. Induction into the Grabby Wall of Fame followed in 2003 and the GayVN Hall of Fame in 2006. He has publicly disclosed drug-related convictions in 1990, 1997 and 2007. Since 2014 he has served as executive director of the Community Initiative, a San Francisco group supporting queer men’s health.

Signature: One of only a handful of performers to win a GayVN Performer of the Year title and then convert that recognition into studio co-ownership rather than a performing-only career.
