Mark Slade (also known as Frank Towers and Ted Hunter) (born June 15, 1968) is a pornographic actor (porn star) from the United States. Frank Towers/Mark Slade got his start originally in the heterosexual porn industry. An encounter with Arnold Schwartzenegger in 1986 changed his life. At the time, he was a spindly 150-pound weakling. Inspired by Arnie, he embarked on a body-building regimen that had his 6 ft 4 in frame filled out to 240 pounds within a few years. His well-honed muscles of steel served him well once he decided to take the porn plunge in 1993.

In 1998, he made his first gay film appearance with a masturbation scene in Billy 2000 under the name Mark Slade. He then went on to sign an exclusive contract with Studio 2000 and starred in West Hollywood Hope in 1998. He followed that with Cadet. He found that he was treated very well in the gay porn world and was surprised at how stringent the safe sex practices were on the movie set. He wanted to perform in both genres but found that crossing lines a little confusing for most producers and found that most straight studios would not work with him anymore. He has since left the gay film world and once again rejoined the heterosexual movie industry under the name "Ted Hunter". According to his profile at the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD), he has appeared in more than 300 films. As Frank Towers, he has formed his own production company, "Frank Towers Productions", and directed that company's 2004 release, Nasty Tales.
