Joey Silvera (born Joseph Nassivera on December 20 , 1951) is an American pornographic actor and director.
Joey Silvera has been involved in the American pornographic industry since the early 1970s. A native of upstate New York, he got his start performing in San Francisco in 1974, and went on to appear in more than 1,000 videos. He was often cast as the wacky sidekick to the lead actor, and was regarded as one of adult film's best actors.[citation needed]
In the early 1990s, Silvera went on to direct videos for his own company All Blew Shirts (later called Joey Silvera Video). His movies were first distributed by Devil's Film, and he later was invited to join John Stagliano's Evil Angel.[1]
Silvera is credited with bringing transsexual, or shemale, videos to the porno mainstream.[citation needed] His notable lines include Service Animals, Face Fucking, Inc. and the shemale series Rogue Adventures.
He appeared on American rap musician Necro's 2005 album, The Sexorcist, with a spoken word part on the song 'Whore' claiming Necro inspires his porn films.
He is a member of the AVN,[2] Legends of Erotica[3] and XRCO[4] Halls of Fame.
