Career
Born Howard Marc Gordon, Pacheco was class president and an honours graduate of Taylor Allderdice High School before attending Antioch College. He built one of the most award-dense records of his era across acting, directing and writing, and in November 1984 stopped filming scenes without condoms over AIDS concerns, years before that became standard industry practice. He published the autobiography Hindsight: True Love and Mischief in the Golden Age of Porn in 2013 and appeared in the 2012 documentary After Porn Ends.
Signature: In November 1984 he stopped filming scenes without condoms over AIDS concerns, years before that became standard practice, and went on to become one of the most award-heavy director-performers of the decade.
