Template:Male adult bio

Ron Jeremy (born Ron Jeremy Hyatt on March 12, 1953) is an American pornographic actor currently residing in Long Island, New York.[1] Nicknamed the Hedgehog[2] for his "spherical hirsuteness"[3], he was ranked by AVN Magazine at #1 in their "50 Top Porn Stars of All Time" list.[4] Ron has also made appearances in non-pornographic flims with studios such as Troma Entertainment.[5]

He gained some notoriety for being capable of autofellatio (with his first on-screen demonstration being Inside Seka)[6] but he has since stated in a 2003 interview that all he can do these days is kiss the tip of his penis due to his weight gain.[7]

Biography

Ron Jeremy attended Cardozo High School in Bayside, Queens; former CIA director George Tenet was a classmate.[8] He earned bachelor's degrees in Education and Theater and a Master's degree in Special Education from Queens College, City University of New York.[9] He taught Special Education classes in the New York City area and was a substitute teacher for regular classes.[5]

He left teaching (his self-described "ace in the hole") to work as an actor in New York City, and says he found out what it was like to make no money as an actor as he "starved Off-Broadway".[9] Jeremy posed for Playgirl after his then-girlfriend submitted his photo to the magazine,[8] and subsequently moved into the adult film industry as a means to support himself.[9]

Jeremy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Appearances in Adult Films";[10] his entry on the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD) lists more than 1900 films in which he has acted and a further 264 films of which he was the director.[11] By way of comparison, John Holmes—the next highest-ranked male star on the AVN Top 50 porn stars[4]—has only 384 acting credits listed on the IAFD.[12]

Outside the adult film industry, Jeremy worked as a "special consultant" for the 1985 film 9½ Weeks[13] and also appeared in the second season of the reality television series, The Surreal Life alongside Vanilla Ice, Tammy Faye, and Erik Estrada.[14]

As a further indication of his crossover celebrity status, Jeremy has posed in an advertisement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to raise awareness of the overpopulation of domesticated animals. In the poster Ron lies partially nude on a bed, a pair of handcuffs around his wrist. Poking fun at his prolific notoriety, the title of the advertisement exclaims, "Too much sex can be a bad thing. Spay and neuter your cats and dogs."[15]

In 2005, Jeremy made headlines when he was invited to address the Oxford Union. According to the Union’s librarian, Vladimir Bermant, "Ron is the biggest and apparently the best in the business, so I'm sure he'll have some fascinating stories to tell." His speech defending pornography was well-received.[16][17]

In 2006, Jeremy began a series of debates on pornography opposing Pastor Craig Gross, founder of the anti-pornography website xxxchurch.com, visiting various college and university campuses as part of the "Porn Debate Tour."[18]

Jeremy has announced that he has written his memoirs with the aid of a ghost-writer. The book, entitled "Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz", will be published by Harper Collins in February 2007.[3][19]
