In the wake of the porn comebacks of Nick Capra and Dean Monroe, I thought it was time to talk about the porn stars who came from an era when there actually were stars, in the last decade, back when the big studios still had whole stables of uber-hot studs, and nobody did cam shows.
Ah, the days of porn gone by. I don’t want to date myself, but I jerked off to the same two Marcus Iron clips, downloaded from somewhere, for approximately three years in the early aughts. And sure, he’s not a lean and tight twentysomething anymore, wherever he is, but I bet he’s still a great fuck and still has that adorable, crooked, impish grin.
A couple of these guys, like Marcus, haven’t really been shooting in many years, except Marcus did resurface in 2010 in that Treasure Island film. [Correction: He also popped up in late 2012’s Drunk on Cum 6, but he kept his shirt on while giving a virtuoso blowjob, so I’m not sure that counts as a return from retirement.] And a couple of them, like Reese Rideout and Jake Deckard, are only recently out of the scene.
Everyone’s got opinions and former favorites, and these are just mine, so please enter whatever name gets you the most hard in the poll below.
I’d like a return of Joe Parker
Let’s encourage Devin Draz to make a comeback!
Devin (Darren) Lives here in Gilbert with his new wife and his son and stepson. He had a rough patch in and out of jail – Meth usage – but seems clean,and aging well. See him at walmart all the time.
Max London please return to porn!
Max London please return to porn!
Does anyone know what happened to Cayden Ross? That guy was the definition of sexy.
What ever happened to Scott Tanner?
What ever happened to Scott Tanner?
Does anyone know what’s up with Dean Flynn? does he escort?
I read he was teaching, got outed by a mother and was subsuquently fired. That sucks but so goes life. anon.
I agree with Dean Flynn and Leo Giamani, but a couple of guys not mentioned here are Ryan Rockford, Jeremy Walker, and especially Berke Banks. I recently had some orthopedic surgery, and the recovery was quite painful. Loaded up on Norco, just kinda sat at home in a chair and stared off into space for a couple of weeks. The only thing that would bring me back to life again was watching the video of Berke getting fucked on Sean Cody. Damn, that’s the hottest video I have ever seen. He only bottomed once on film, but he did a damn good job of it!
Tom Chase and Ken Ryker might be a but older but I would give my left testicle for a return of either one
I’m in total agreement! I love both but my heart (and ass) belong to Ken!
I want Jake Genesis to come back.
Cody Cummings solo tj Cummings butthole trystan bull solo
I think James Hawk should return. What happened to him?
Cameron From Sean Cody….. He was hot, kissed, and was passionate during his scenes. I remember a lot of models and some that were listed here although they fucked like a jackhammer, they also looked like they could have just as easily been driving a city bus.
Ralph Woods, Marcus Iron and Mike Roberts.
Marcus can’t get work because he’s now HIV+.
Steven Prior!
Colby Taylor
Andy Honda (“Cody” from Corbin Fisher
Simon Dexter (“Harley” from Sean Cody)
James Kelly (Bait Bus, Circle Jerk Boys)
James Hawk (Randy Blue)
Kurt Wild
Bring the most underrated porn star back, Dino Dimarco. Also, Joe Landon was super hot… Bring Roman Heart, Sc’s Billy and Patrick. I am such a greedy whore.
of these, dean flynn and colby taylor-he will always be hunky to me. my first porn crush.
not on this list: cayden ross and danny harper. cayden is still the most gorgeous hunk of man to this day and his live show with danny was quite memorable. danny’s ginger uncut cock and hairy hole are mouthwatering.
I’d love to see Ryan Block, George Vidanov, Mac/Mack Reynolds, Rick Chase and as well as The Peters Twins to make a comeback to porn! I thought they all were hot guys! Ryan Block was a pretty rough nasty guy. George was a Hungarian hottie with a nice ass!
RALPH WOODS
The only two guys there worth coming back is Marco Blaze and Marcus Mojo…and even both of those is kind of a stretch. Your list is very wack…and white-washed. Gimme Pedro Andreas / Daniel Marvin any day!
Justin Dragon and Cameron Fox, Simon Dexter and Phillip Tanzer
Paul Carrigan, Anthony Gallo, Ray Dragon, Michael Ray, Marc West, Dean Coulter, Mike Roberts, Ray Stone, Dred Scott no longer appear in gay dvds., however it would be great if they would. They always delivered intense and passionate performances. Plus, they were true men and not smooth twinks.
Although deceased, Arpad Miklos and Wilifred Knight also were favorites.
Cameron was hot but sadly dead
Oh! I forgot to add Francois Sagat!
Ken Ryker, Barrett Long, Chad Hunt, Ben Andrews, Lukas Ridgeston (Forever Lukas was good, but he needs to be in front of the camera more), Pavel Novotny, D C Chandler. They should all come back and make one amazing movie, taking turns to fuck Jake Bass. Jake is so adorable and tiny as compare to the cast here, but he can drown them in his cum any day. Hum… maybe stiff competition with Barrett, Lukas and Pavel. They can also cum like no tomorrow. Gosh. I feel sticky already!
Derrek Diamond. Whatever happened to him? I believe he was planning to marry (I envy the boyfriend). He was probably the only porn actor I wouldn’t mind seeing him even with his clothes on. To me he looked like a romantical, passionate, down-to-earth kinda guy.
Porn workers have a shelf life for a reason..although some on the list were good at what they did..they all should stay gone!
I’d love to see my favorite red head of all time come back,Blu Kennedy.
Does anyone know whatever happened to Dean Coulter?
Pretty sure he’s doing massage now in Vermont, at a place called TouchChi, which I also believe he is co-owner of. He’s also going by the name Troy Spurgeon; not sure if that’s his real name, or just a chosen name for privacy purposes, though.
Corbin Fisher Cade and Dirk and Sean Cody Patrick
Since we’re talking about G4Pers, my vote would be for Mason Star: super-cute guy with a great body and tools that were unquestionably designed for porn. But if he ever does get back into the biz, he needs to stick with straight porn. During his brief though well-publicized stint, he made no secret about his love for pussy, and his one straight performance was the only time he seemed genuinely turned on.
I don’t think you can classify Mason as a G4P star considering he’s in a relationship with Will Wikle, the messy queened-turned-muscle go-go boy.I highly doubt it’s a fake relationship for publicity purposes, as neither of them are financially benefiting from the relationship much.
You’re assuming it’s a genuine relationship, but that doesn’t mean that it is. They could just be friends for all you know. Either way, Mason is definitely not gay.

What do “retired” porn “stars” do in their retirement? Travel?
I didn’t know that anyone could make enough from having sex in front of a camera to retire on, unless he became a high-priced “escort.”
It seems to me that when a porn “star” comes “out of retirement” it’s because his retirement savings ran out.
That said, I’ve always been fond of big-dicked, versatile Colby Taylor. I’m not familiar with Marco Blaze or Dean Flynn, but both are hot–Marco more for his dick, Dean more for his chest. I’ve always enjoyed big-dicked Leo Giamani, especially when he has big dick up his ass. Barrett Long and Scott Tanner should both come back as a total bottoms; nothing hotter than a hot, horse-hung bottom who’s rock hard and begging for more while getting fucked. I’d love to see Barrett and Scott in a flip-flop. Marcus Mojo was a good bottom.
Pedro Andreas, Travis Wade, Tom Chase, Brandon Kent.
Pedro Andreas. Someone we can agree on. My pretend husband!
This article assumes rates that were given decades ago, let a lone a few years, would be honored to have them return. These guys came in at different time – now, with porn piracy, web camming has replaced the older porn business model.
As for some of them, they were straight (or identified as such), they were not invested in a gay identity or having sex with guys exclusively – for them it was a business arrangement….and as mentioned, business right now is bad. Guys won’t perform for anything less then what was considered a minimum for someone with a draw or following. Most of these guys have some, as indicated by the comments in this board.
Also, some were fucked up with drama, baggage, and drugs…once they left, they probably obtained help and consider this their “bottoming” out addiction phase(no pun intended.)
Agree with Leo Giamani! But, would like to add Mike Roberts to the list…he was everywhere at one time, then just disappeared on us, after he bottomed for Jake Cruise.
Jared Steele
Scott Tanner!
Tino Lopez, an AllWorlds star from many years ago, had a big ol’ butt; it was ahead of its time, lol. I would love to see him return to porn.
Jim Bentley, a true blond god from the 80’s and sexy Jason Branch
Shane Rollins
I agree that most of the models on this list should return. And I also liked this thread very much – fun subject.
But I voted for “Other” and the person i want to return is MICK LOVELL, BelAmi. Four short reasons: Amazing performer (Power bottom!), great face, wonderful body and last but not least – witty and kind (Twitter and in interviews).
I agree with everything you said! Mick Lovell should be offered a big contract that would entice him back to porn, because he was one of the top two superstars in gay porn in recent memory, the other being Johnny Rapid. Hopefully a major studio with deep pockets such as Corbin Fisher or Sean Cody can make it worth his while.
Thanks a lot for replying. As Mick was very well-payed in BelAmi I also hoped for CF or SC, which I regard as high quality studios. Even if I have been rather disappointed on both CF and SC recently.
BelAmi has told on the forum that sadly Mick got under pressure to leave porn. It didn´t say if it was friends, family, other relatives or his girlfriend that had found out that he did porn. It would of course be very interesting how the person (or persons) found out that Mick was doing porn. Mick was very active on Twitter – linking to his new scenes and publishing private pics. By doing so he took a very big risk of being revealed.
So to conclude – a comeback from Mick is sadly indeed not very likely.
Some of you seriously need to learn how to read, because it’s a topic highlighting pornstars who retired in the last decade, not of-all-time. A good number named here have been gone since the 90s lol.
Dean Flynn, Marcus Iron, Alex Eden from Randy Blue and beefy muscle bear Todd Maxwell
Colby Taylor AND Brad Patton! Together in a long flip-flop scene. They never barabacked (on screen) and would fit perfect.
Dean Flynn was the sexiest especially when got hairy but what about Hot House man Dick Wolf or Jason Ridge and haven’t seen Tyler Saint in anything lately
Mick Lovell should come back and sign with a studios that teaches him how to fuck.
Most of these featured performers are over 30 and are not that well known to those fans of porn who are younger. I agree with you that Mick Lovell should return to porn and to a big studio that would use him wisely. I don’t agree with you that he doesn’t know how to fuck, because it was obvious from his scenes that he was an excellent top as well as a power bottom, that’s one of the reasons I miss him, because he was so good and versatile at both.
I agree with blow_me.
samuel o’toole and curtis form sean cody
Agree on Patrick, TrueWords, that man is a god.
D.O. is perfect,Hope he will back soon
D.O. is perfect,Hope he will back soon
It would be great if the following men could re-appear in gay dvd films: Paul Carrigan; Anthony Gallo; The Three
Rockland Brothers; Rex Chandler; Chris Steele; Ray Dragon; Marcos Rios; Cliff Rhodes;Paul Barresi; Bobby Blake;Bo
Stallion. These are men who were men and who delivered excellent passionate performances.
If I ever hit the powerball lottery. I will make sure Barrett Long, Leo Giamani and Travis Wade all return to porn!
I’d love D.C. Chandler to come back. He had the hot guy next door look plus a big sausage!
Here’s a name i’m throwing out…Kevin Falk.
but i think he’s now either in str8 porn or retired….but PLEASE gay porn gods bring him back home.
Colby Keller said that he’s straight and married, and married to a black woman he believes. And YES he is definitely one that needs to come back!!! Regardless of his sexuality, he was a FAR better performer than most of the G4P, even real bi and gay, porn stars out there currently and during his time! If he was straight and didn’t like sex, he sure as hell put on the performance of his life in every scene because you could never tell.
Fuck Leo and Marcus, Kevin Falk is a MUCH better performer than they are, plus he was so damn beautiful, and had this big muscular beefy body, with a huge fat ass and juicy uncut dick :)
I agree with you and Brian. Kevin Falk was the BEST!!!
I was also thinking Jamie from seancody and Kurt (if he’s slimmed down to his original size)
In the beginning, Colby Keller was a pleasure to watch when he was clean shaven. But, he then evolved to a dirty looking and scruffy look, which lost my appeal for him. His best scene though, was in a Titan Men dvd with
Cliff Rhodes. Colby’s character was a bridegroom to be . Cliff was his prospective father in law. Their chemistry sizzled. After that film, Colby’s appeal for not only me , but others, went negative. I saw him recently in Ray Dragon films, and wondered if he is really retired.
As for other comments about former porn models from the past (ie: 1990’s and before): They were true men who
delivered excellent performers; something of which the later men who lacked masculinity and excitement.
Fallk isn’t married anymore. He left Texas and moved to la to get into modeling and show business. It didn’t quite work out and he started hooking on craigslist and eventually got into porn. He’s been gone for four years and is one of those “I can’t believe I did porn” people and wants nothing to do with it. He did have a boyfriend out in la who was gorgeous but don’t know if they are still together.
Leo Giamani looks like he’s aged about ten years since he left porn four years ago. The bridges he burned in porn are still active in the biz and about the only way he could make a chunk of change off of doing porn would be if he did a package deal with a few companies. I doubt ndm would take him which leaves men and kink who have a performer shoot a group of scenes in a short period of time.
Manuel Torres and Chris Steele
As I’m a size queen (perhaps without equal!!!), I’d love to see Chad Hunt again, as an earlier posted mentioned. If you really want to see Chad at his most “prominent” look back at some of his early Lucas videos, when he was very young and very skinny. The contrast is an amazing thing to see.
I also wouldn’t mind seeing Barrett Long again even though I thought he had one of the uglier dicks I’d seen in porn…but it was big so that more than made up for everything. I watch his “signature” line of videos and…he’s sleazy…slimey…AND THAT MADE ME WANT HIM EVEN MORE! I just wouldn’t leave my wallet or anything else of value, unattended anywhere near him!
Scott Tanner!!
Other – Aiden Shaw
I don’t know his original porn, i just know his current modeling work, but DAMN he is one hot daddy.
Hell no. Mike Branson should top the list. Has anyone seen his stuff? Gold. I mean pure gold. Where is he?
Pavel Novotny
When did Reese Rideout retire?
his retirement is not “official”, but it’s pretty obvious he isn’t coming back. He hasn’t done any scenes in years, and he doesn’t cam or do any type of Randy Blue promotion. Usually RB models don’t announce retirements they just leave. Last I heard he’s running a cupcake shop with his wife in Seattle. Pretty sad for him I guess, as he probably expected his career to take off after showing his face over tv talk show hosts and some MTV show glorifying how great it is to have a g4p porn career while his wife sat at home wondering if her husband’s in pain after taking so much dick in his ass lol.
For all we know he could be hooking in the Seattle scene.
His guest stints on TV ended his porn career – it made him look bad overall.
Dean Flynn just…. wow.
Anybody have any idea what he’s up to nowadays?
Marco, Dean & Scott!!
& one of my favorites from quite a while ago, Dick Wolf!!
Scott Tanner.
O man, Travis Wade… He is one very sexy guy, and he needs to come back to porn… He’s an amazing top, but saw a few scenes where he bottomed, and he loved it!!! Pure sex on legs… If he doesn’t come back to porn, I need him to call me!!!!!!!!!
I don’t really need any of these to come back. Barrett Long could come back if he decided to do bareback. That would be pretty hot. Other than that, no bring out new talents.
Uhmmm, any thoughts on the current health situation of the models mentioned?
Leo is male perfection (minus circumcision, but that’s super easy to overlook). I don’t know why he hasn’t come back. The first porn star I ever fapped to. Maybe I’m a bit nostalgic.
KURT WILD
I am not sure why Marcus Iron is on here when just least year he appeared in Treasure Island’s Drunk On Cum 6 film, and before that did at least one SUCK DICK SAVE THE WORLD film. While he gave stellar blowjobs in each film, he kept his shirt on to avoid showing the growing spare tire around his 39 year old waist.
Of the ones in the poll, I’ll go for Leo Giamani. There’s a bunch of others that I’d like to see comeback, too: Brad Star, Pat Bateman, Rusty Stevens, Nash Lawler, Parker London, Alex Eden, Jimmy Clay/Coxx, Devin Draz, Brandon Lewis, Brodie from Sean Cody, Taylor and Dante from Chaosmen. I know some of them have only recently retired, but I already miss their presence.
You can hire Barrett and Mojo off of Rentboy if you’re in L.A.
@TheSword Blog- I hope next time when you do something like this you’d tell their true sexuality. Bcoz I didnt care to those GAY4PAY models. I only pay attention to the gay or at least bi. Thank you
For sure snarky Barrett.. How about DC Chandler? Jack Ryan? Kevin Williams? Lane Fuller? Like legit show biz, it is hard to make a return, and probably harder for adult stars – always compared to “how you looked BEFORE”.
Talent payments are low now, so I doubt we will see to may return to the business. I have heard that “STRYKER, Jeff Stryker” would not mind a return.. He is well “preserved”.
Ken Ryker might be interesting. Zak Spears is still kicking around, and is pretty cool. Jim Bentley still has a “look” and might be a blast from the past – I heard from him about a year ago, in fact.
Leo has already confirmed his comeback…he already has new pics out from i think paragon men
Yeah he did. Leo is so gross. I hate the guy.
I wish dean flynn would return for some bareback fun.
Leo Giamani will like to comeback LOL maybe he doesnt have money to buy something for his gf or wife. And he is ready to get that money to gay idiots who patronize him. Oh common gay men, you should use your brain more sometimes than your cock when thinking. Gay4payers are only using you as milking cow but they’re disgusted to us.
I agree Jordi Lim. I had one straight for gay tell me that they “hate” working for gay guys. I was having him for an overnight when he told me this. He has his own site. FB page and all the gay guys slobber over themselves complimenting him. He loves vajajays
LOL, Paragon Men is not porn, its posing for a ‘pretty’ picture!
That is a slippery slope.
Mojo too!
Yes to Jake, Barrett, Colby and Tanner. Out of those 4 Jake is still the one who looks like he never ages and still is sexy as hell.
please scott tanner please come out of retirement
:)
The only two that I care about are Patrick and Mike Branson

Can you next do a list of people who should retire and start with Kirk Cummings?
WOW do I love this post. I disagree with half of those posted but would do anything for Travis Wade, Leo Giamani, and Barrett Long to come out of retirement.
luke – i totally second your comments..love me some leo, travis and barrett
Agree on Barrett. Remove Marcus Mojo, who has one facial expression, disdain, and insert Kurt Wild.
To me should be Anthony Romero.Lately you can read how everyone used the term “power bottom” really freely and most of them don’t even know what they’re doing.Anthony was truly a power bottom,he was hot,he was beautiful and he knew how to be on camera.
He was also really funny on twitter and smart to boot.
So really for me he had everything.I will love to see him back :).
Agreed! Also miss Derek Diamond
Anthony Romero was the true definition of a power bottom and at a pretty young age at that (he should be turning 23 in a couple months I believe). If anyone should return to porn its him, especially to put his tired ass ex-boyfriend in his place.
Aside from that Doug fromSean Cody was always a personal favorite of mine. Quirky but hot and knew how to fuck!!!!
Drama-Boner Killer.
Doug knows how to fuck. Seriously, he needs to give lessons.
Leo Giamani and Marcus Mojo??? While I don’t deny they are attractive, they’re also some of the most boring G4P pornstars to exist in gay porn the last 10 years.
I’d love to see Cayden Ross and Max London from Randy Blue make a return!
chad hunt!
