Keiran Lee
The man with a penis insured
for $1 million, Lee is the go-to
man for MindGeek and its many
brands. Since 2006, Lee—who
hails from the U.K.—has worked
hard to make a name for himself
on both sides of the pond, and is
arguably one of the best-known
male performers in the world
today. His directing career started
in 2013, and allowed him to exert
even more control over his scenes
and the talent he works with.
Lexington Steele
Steele has been a shot caller long
before it was considered an option
for most male performers. He
created his own label, Mercenary
Pictures, in 2008 and joined the
Evil Angel stable of directors in
2013. Most recently, he’s created
Lexington Steele Media Group,
with sales handled by Exile
Distribution.
Mark Wood
Mark Wood’s career spans
two decades, and in that time
he has helmed projects for a
number of studios, including
Legend, JM Productions
and Red Light District. He
and his wife, Francesca Lé,
created LeWood Productions,
which was first distributed by
Exquisite Multimedia and Juicy
Entertainment, and is now part of
the Evil Angel family.
Ryan Madison
Throughout his career, Madison
has earned AVN Award
nominations for his performances
and his directing. Under
the company Kelly Madison
Productions, which he runs with
his wife, Ryan in recent years has
pushed the envelope in both gonzo
and features, adding a darker side
to his work.
Toni Ribas
The Spanish actor has always been
in demand as a performer thanks
to his sultry good looks and rich
accent, but he’s just as beloved
by studio heads for his directing
skills. In his career, he’s served
as the director and talent for Red
Light District, Platinum X, Elegant
Angel, Evil Angel and Brazzers.
Rocco Siffredi
One of the first performers and directors to showcase rough
sex, Siffredi started his career in 1987 in Europe. By 2001,
legendary director and Evil Angel owner John Stagliano noted,
“Rocco has far more power in this industry than any other
actress.” Aside from performing and directing, Siffredi has
also served as a mentor to a number of other male actors in
the business, including Manuel Ferrara and Markus Dupree.
Nacho Vidal
Nacho Vidal has been directing as well as performing for
most of his two-decade career. He started performing in and
directing releases for Odyssey, New Sensations and Sineplex,
but by far has been most closely associated with the Evil
Angel brand. A passionate sexual athlete who takes his co-
stars to the edge and back, he does not shy away when it
comes to pushing the envelope as a performer or director.
