Ask Tyler Knight
18 Jun
Edit: The interview was awesome and the show with Tyler is now online.
This week on Attention Crash Radio we’ll be interviewing Tyler Knight, an A-List porn star most recently known playing the lead role in Tiger’s Wood. That’s right, he plays Tiger Woods. Since we’re not a live show, we can’t take your calls but I’d still like to give you guys a chance to ask him whatever is on your mind. So, if you have anything you’d like to ask; about his life, his career, his writing, go ahead and post it in the comments or drop me an email and I’ll get it on the show.
Normally we record Monday mornings but because of Tyler’s schedule we’ll be recording a bit late. This show will be out Tuesday morning, first thing. So subscribe through the iTunes store, grab our RSS feed or just check back Tuesday, June 22nd.
For more about Tyler see his Bio / Filmography and his Scene Pairings.
And from Tyler himself, and short introduction.
Hello,
A little self serving propaganda;
My first film was a big budget feature for VCA with the contract girl Chloe. It was an epic fail. I was nervous in front of the large crew, and the room full of background extras. I could not get hard for longer than 2 minutes, and I eventually came in my hand before I even touched her. This was the second worst day of my life.
Instead of quitting (male talent has a 98% failure rate of the first scene), I stuck it out through the learning curve. Within a few months, I was offered a contract with a studio Video Team, and became their first male contract star.
With the film contract, came a signature sex toy deal with California Exotic Novelties, which includes a quasi gay looking dildo molded after my dick, and a really gay looking blow up doll. For these, I had to suffer the indignity of laying in a full body cast, while being fluffed by female Mexican workers they pulled off the factory floor at random. Fan mail from fatties, and gays telling me what they do to my facsimiles give me nightmares.
Occasionally, I work as a spokes model for Playgirl, singing autographs for them at conventions. I have a habit of fucking their female clients, so they don’t call me much these days.
Over the past 7 years, I have done about 700 sex scenes, in roughly 500 videos. That’s too many girls to list, but some of the girls I have worked with include Nautica Thorn, Gianna Michaels, Eva Angelina, Rebeca Linares, Charmaine Star, and Jada fire.
I’m in the unique position of being on short list of male talent to work with VIVID contract girls like Savana Samson, and Monique Alexander. I have also worked with Adam, and Eve’s contract girl Bree Olsen, Digital Playground’s Katsuni, and Zero Tolerance’s Courtney Cummz.
Over my tenure in porn, I have been nominated for 11 AVN awards (porn Oscars), including Best Actor this year, winning three times. I never go to the award show in Vegas, because the red carpets are gay. They mail my awards to me.
I also won the ‘09 Feminist Porn Award for “Heartthrob of the Year”.
I am the male lead in Adam & Eve’s biggest budget film ever 8′th Day. The dystopian cyberpunk film stars Adam & Eve’s contract girls Kayden Kross, and Bree Olsen, along with Amber Rayne. It just got released.
Currently, I am in production for the lead in a porn version of film noir that nobody will ever see (because I am in every God damn scene).
Just this week, I sold one of my creative memoir stories. Last month, I was hired as a columnist for a women’s erotic e-zine, For The Girls where I do gonzo journalism pieces as Porn Valley embed. I type hunt and peck in total darkness. My grammar sucks, and I spell like a 4′th grader. I suspect I the editor will send ninjas after me.
I threw a blog together a couple weeks ago. I will chronicle the Fellini esque stories I have lived through over the past 7 years in porn, and getting beat down as a sparring partner at Legends MMA. When I need material to write about, I try to get pulled over by my buddies, the LAPD. We play games like dodge bullet, and pin the conviction on the Negro.
I’d like to hear Tyler’s views of the traditional feminist view of pornography. What are the differences in pay for male and female stars? Are there many women on the production side (directors, producers, owners, etc)?
Has Tyler seen any evidence of the train-wreck porn production that traditional feminism has claimed exists, with poor, underprivileged girls with no other options being virtually abducted by a production company, drugged up, and exploited by skeezy men?
Don’t know if this is too late, but here goes anyway.
A lot of Tyler’s writing focuses on the horrible people involved in the business. Do such people make up the overwhelming majority of people he’s worked with? Does he have any neat stories about people who aren’t total shitbags?
You should let me know when you have someone like this to interview. He was a hit on the old board and I’m sure TiB would love to have a thread to submit questions that they’d have to listen to the interview to know if they were answered.
You’re right. Next time I’ll shoot you a message. We’re going to have Tyler back on in a couple of months so we’ll do it then.
