Abella continues, “I was so nervous that night. I wanted her to win so badly.”
Spiegler recalls how Danger—who has become one of the most successful performers of all
time—took an immediate interest in Ritchie.
“She met her right at the beginning and took her under her wing from Day 1,” Spiegler tells AVN.
“She posted on Instagram and tweeted about her and got her like 7,000 followers overnight….
It was quite a start.”
When Ritchie first moved to LA in August 2023, she lived at Spiegler’s apartment for six months.
“I’ve done this for other girls but more so for her because she’s not from here, she’s foreign,”
Spiegler explains. “It’s like being a baby in a whole new land. You don’t know how to catch a bus
or pay taxes. Everything is kind of different, so I take more care of them in the short term and
hopefully they flourish.”
Ritchie tells AVN Spiegler could not have taken any better care of her during that first six months.
“I lived with him for a long time,” she says. “He was like my family, my friend—I didn’t know
anyone. He’d drive me to work, everything. He was incredible.”
A Brazzers rep calls Gal “the quintessential girl next door with an insatiable British wit.”
And the ZZ brass would know as she’s become a go-to girl for Aylo’s suite of brands. Ritchie
already has nine scenes for Brazzers, seven for sister brand Reality Kings, two for Digital Play-
ground and three for the all-girl Twistys, where was named Treat of the Month in August 2024.
“Gal Ritchie brings the perfect blend of charm, humor and sensuality every time she’s on a
Brazzers set,” the ZZ rep says. “Gal’s versatility is her greatest strength as she excels in any
scene type she’s cast in. We’re always excited to see what’s next for Gal as there seems to be
no limit to what she can accomplish in her career.”
Seth Gamble, the 2023 AVN Male Performer of the Year and seasoned director who also owns
Lucid Flix, knows Ritchie’s range as well as anyone. He has performed with Gal five times and
cast her in a supporting role in his biggest directorial project to date, Once Upon a Time in the
Valley, which will be released this summer through Wicked Pictures.
“The reason I wanted to cast Gal is she hits every note,” Gamble tells AVN. “She’s got the energy,
the charisma, the mentality, she has it.”
Seth continues, “Honestly, Gal is amazing. She wants to come and give 110 percent. She doesn’t
complain. She’s a fun person to be on set with. I always want her in anything I can put her in.
“She is becoming one of my favorite performers in general. I just see the way she operates in
this industry and she’s doing movie and studio work as seriously as anyone ever has, which is
not the usual. It’s not the rule anymore, it’s the exception, so it’s amazing to see someone that
motivated.”
In Once Upon a Time, Ritchie plays “the classic star that comes into the industry who will do
whatever it takes to get to the top and it doesn’t always go her way.”
Gamble paired Ritchie with the hard-charging Zac Wild, who plays the MC at a strip club.
Wild tells AVN Ritchie is “magnificent.”
“A dark-haired beauty with marvelous green eyes, sexy, suave, coy, cute and a wondrous whore
with a fun and sarcastic attitude—I love it!” Zac says. “Our scenes are visceral, honest and hot! I
know that every time I see her name on my call sheet it’s going to be a lovely day.”
