[edit] Film career
[edit] Gay Porn
Ricky Sinz signed as a Raging Stallion Studios Exclusive in 2007. He identifies himself as a bisexual.[2] In September 2008, Sinz became Raging Stallion's first Lifetime Exclusive after his first year contract expired that same year. The new deal covers films, print media, and web markets, as well as the development of new projects aimed at the mainstream gay market.[3] At Raging Stallion's 2008 annual Folsom Street Fair pre-party, Sinz was named Raging Stallion Man of the Year for 2008.[4]
While at Raging Stallion, he was a Technical Director as well as an actor for award-winning gay porn film Grunts, in which, at the 2008 GayVN Awards, he won 3 of the 8 awards for the film because of three of his performances. Grunts is purported to be the first gay porn film released on Blu-ray Disc and a film with a record breaking production budget in the gay porn industry.
Continuing in his tradition, at Raging Stallion Studios, he did not stop with the military based film Grunts and went on to star in a leading role for the subsequent higher-budget film To the Last Man.
[edit] Mainstream Films
Ricky Sinz did venture out of mainstream porn to work next door with Hornbill Films director Toby Ross, an award winning director with hands in independent film, softcore porn, and hardcore porn. Ricky starred in a film Live for Sex, Die for Love, which appears to be his first venture in to a more mainstream filming genre with a more acting based role.[5] This film preceded his dramatic role in the gay porn film To the Last Man.
Profane - (Ricky's third more mainstream acting film - not hardcore porn) scheduled for release in 2009, this film will be one of Ricky's most controversial projects that explores the sexual role of prostitutes in a very cutting edge fim project directed by Usama Alshaibi.
[edit] Community and Causes
On December 4, 2008, Sinz was nominated GLBT Performer of the Year for the XBIZ Awards 2009, to be held in Hollywood, California.[6] His Chicago based personal preferences for support in his own community are TPAN (Test Positive Aware Network), Bonaventure House, St. Judes, The Howard Brown Health Center,and the STOP AIDS project.[7]
