Matt Gunther in Mentor
Matt Gunther (b. Steven Matthew Laing, May 28, 1963, Garden Grove, CA; d. May 27, 1997) was an American pornographic actor (porn star) who appeared in gay pornographic movies and magazines from 1990 to 1995. He was popular with gay pornography fans because of his dark eyes, muscular body and large 9 inch penis. He performed mostly in the top role, although he did bottom on occasion.
In 1990, at the age of 27, he moved to West Hollywood and made his first gay porn film, To The Bone. He appeared in a total of 34 movies. He was nominated for several porno industry awards during his career, but did not win any of them. He was considered by directors to be difficult to work with, but was popular with other porn stars. His last film was Long Play, released in 1995.
He contracted HIV, and was confined to a wheelchair for two years due to a muscular disorder caused by AIDS. He appeared at the 1996 Probe "Men in Video" Awards as a presenter, and rode in an AIDS hospice float in that year’s West Hollywood Gay Pride parade.
He died from congestive heart failure resulting from AIDS. His ashes were scattered at sea.
