“She has such a great aura to her that just oozes superstar.”
—Ricky Johnson
.“When I first told my mum—or even the few weeks after and I was going to set—I felt like I
was lying,” Ritchie says with a laugh. “And it still feels a bit like that now. … I still can’t believe
it. Like even talking about it makes me stutter.”
But Gal’s body of work began to speak for itself during her breakout year in 2024 as she
shined in dozens of scenes for influential studios en route to 90-something credits during the
eligibility period—at press time she had about 150 overall.
A self-proclaimed “workaholic,” Gal delivered time and again for blue-chip brands such
as Brazzers, Reality Kings, Vixen Media Group, Girlsway, Jules Jordan and Evil Angel. She
demonstrated the same comfort level in the BDSM realm of Kink.com as she had on the set
of the high-profile feature, Gold Diggers, the Digital Playground production that received the
2025 AVN Award for Grand Reel—the highest annual honor for a narrative movie.
And she showed that she handles dialogue with the same enthusiasm as she approaches
uninhibited sex.
“I’m someone who, if I hone in on something, I really want to do it, I want to do it to the point
where I’m the best,” Ritchie says.
That kind of winning attitude and determination soon became obvious to her co-stars, many
of whom already consider Gal to be one of the best in the world.
“Gal Ritchie is one of those rare and authentic talents who truly stand out,” says the reigning
AVN Male Performer of the Year Vince Karter. “Passionate, full of drive, and always smiling, she
makes a strong impression from the very first meeting.
“The first time I met her, I was immediately struck by her vibrant presence and sense of humor.
We were filming a scene with comedy and the intimate part only began after several hours on
set. When that moment came, it was a shock—in the best way. Behind her funny and endearing
personality was a true powerhouse once the cameras started rolling.”
Veteran Brazzers exclusive Scott Nails, who did a three-way with Ritchie and Kimmy Granger
in Gold Diggers and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in January, tells AVN, “Dude, I
love Gal. She’s always good energy. She’s a great professional with a great heart. She’s funny,
engaging, not boring, just a great girl.”
Meanwhile, fellow Brazzers contract stud Alex Jones tells AVN, “I love her, she deserves
everything happening for her right now and I absolutely loved shooting with her recently for
Brazzers as well!”
