Derrick Vinyard in The Velvet Mafia: Part 1

Derrick Vinyard is an American pornographic actor (porn star) who is a Falcon Entertainment exclusive and has appeared in a number of gay porn films. He began his career in 2005 and temporarily retired in early 2006, but his status in the business today is unknown.

Derrick Vinyard is a native to Wall Township, New Jersey. He attended Wall High, and worked as a lifeguard at Bradley Beach. Accounts of the beginning of his involvement in gay pornography are largely apocryphal, but it has been confirmed that he first met the photographer who would later send his pictures to Falcon Studios, while working out in a gym in Bradley Beach.

There has been some controversy over Vinyard's sexuality, belying any claim that while cruising the gay districts of Asbury Park, Vinyard found his "true self". In a magazine interview with Unzipped, Vinyard stated he is bisexual, and had never engaged in homosexual acts until beginning his career as a gay porn star. The possibility that Vinyard is part of the thriving "gay for pay" community should not be ruled out.
