Sean Michaels

Sean Michaels took his stage name from Sean Connery and Michael Jordan, a choice that speaks to his ambitions. Born February 20, 1958, in Brooklyn, New York City, the 1.90-meter-tall porn star shot his first porn videos starting in 1989 and rose in the '90s as one of the defining figures of the US interracial genre, fighting clichéd portrayals of black men in the adult industry. He won the XBIZ Woodsman of the Year Award in 1994, entered the AVN Hall of Fame in 1995 (extremely early), and joined the XRCO, NightMoves, and Urban X Halls of Fame. In 1996 he founded his own studio, Sean Michaels Productions (later Sean Michaels International). AVN ranked him number 14 on the Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time list in 2002. Elected president of the Adult Performance Artists Guild in 2016, he drove industry reforms. His sex videos still set the standard for BBC performers with narrative presence and old-school authority.
