Lexington Steele's Porn Star Biography

Early Years

Lexington Steele made his porn debut in 1996 working in amateur interracial productions with the over 40 MILF actress Lyn Carroll. However, porn certainly isn't what Steele had in mind for a career in his younger years. He attended Morehouse College for 2 years and then graduated from Syracuse University with a double major in history and African-American studies in 1993. He then began training as a stock broker at M S Farrell, and later moved on to Oppenheimer Financial after earning his Series 7 trading license. He was earning 6 figures and building a successful career in trading, but he was also working himself to exhaustion.

Introduction to Porn

Steele was introduced to the sex industry when he attended a party hosted by one of his coworkers. "Once I was licensed, it opened the door to a whole new recreational side of the industry. The guy who trained me invited me to a party in a hotel suite, and it ended up being a sex party like the ones in [the film] Wolf of Wall Street. It wasn't long before a bigger director from Los Angeles gave me a job and suggested I attend the annual porn industry convention in Las Vegas." Steele took a chance and began appearing in amateur productions for a couple years before finally moving to Los Angeles in 1998 to pursue a full time career in porn.

Studios & Notable Films

Over the years, Steele has worked with many of the industry's finest production companies, such as Jill Kelly Productions, Diabolic Video, Vivid, Evil Angel, Extreme Associates, and many more. The combination of his toned physique, massive member, and loud outbursts during his on screen ejaculations have earned Steele quite a reputation in the industry. He is also the only actor to have won the AVN Male Performer of the Year Award three times. A prolific actor, Steele has appeared in well over 1,000 adult films, many of them series in which he's performed in multiple videos. Notable series for Steele include 2 on 1 in which he's performed in 7 movies (Diabolic Video), Balls Deep parts 1-7 (Anabolic Video), and the Mercenary Pictures series Black Moon Risin parts 1-10. Other notable films include Young Tight Latinas parts 4-5 (Red Light District), Strawberry Milk Juggs (Jules Jordan Video), and New X-rated Sistas 2 (West Coast Productions).

Directorial Debut and Projects

In 1994, Steele stepped behind the camera to make his directorial debut. Since then, he has gone on to direct more than 150 adult films for studios such as Anabolic Video, Las Vegas Video, Evil Angel, Rosebud, and Dream Zone Entertainment. In 2003, Steele founded his own production company, Mercenary Motion Pictures. For years he directed and performed exclusively for his own company, but in 2013, he joined the Evil Angel roster of directors.
