Peter North

Career

North began in gay adult films before moving into heterosexual productions in 1983, becoming one of the most prolific and commercially successful male performers of the video era. He won the F.O.X.E. Male Fan Favorite award three consecutive years from 1990, later moving into directing and producing and founding Northpole Entertainment in 2001. He appeared in Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ 2004 photo project Thinking XXX.

Signature: One of the very highest credit counts in the industry’s history, across both gay and straight production.
