Anton Michael is an adult entertainment performer, actor and model.

A native of Perth, Australia, he relocated to the United States after completing his higher education studies.^{[citation needed]} He entered mainstream modeling in Los Angeles, California, a career he continues to maintain.^{[citation needed]}

Michael's début in adult entertainment came after his amicable divorce from actress Marjean Holden. In 2001, director/producer Blue Blake cast Michael -- billed as Tony Valentino-- in a cameo appearance in the all-male title Married Cops Do. Main player status followed in six more Blake features beginning in 2001 and continuing into 2004. Though he was touted as being a former Australian professional rugby player in by Blake, this has never been substantiated and is most likely a promotional ploy on the director's part.^{[citation needed]} Michael's chiseled appearance and accent were selling points, as was his penchant for aggressive interplay and his notable expertise as sexual wordsmith.^{[citation needed]}

Micheal's did heterosexual performances as well. In the 2002 film Dildo Diaries, a documentary detailing attempts by the Texas Penal Code to ban the sale or ownership of adult sexual aids. He then appeared briefly opposite his frequent co-star Cheyenne Silver in the 2003 independent film This Girl's Life, which chronicled a young women's experiences in pornography.

In 2005, his appearances in Vivid features became less frequent as Michael focused his talents in painting and fashion design, opting to return to the industry at his leisure. Late 2006 showed signs of a career resurgence with the launch of his own adult website.
