[edit] Biography
Bobby Blake grew up in Tennessee. He went to Los Angeles in the 1980s and worked as an erotic dancer. On the advice of a friend, he visited a gay sex club owned by porn actor Paul Hanson. Impressed with Blake's performance, Hanson recommended him to adult film producers who cast him in his first film, Ebony Knights.[2]
Blake appeared in over 100 films[3] playing aggressive and dominant top roles. He retired from adult films in 2000 and became an ordained Christian minister.
In 2002, Blake was paid to appear at a government funded AIDS awareness meeting in St. Louis, Missouri where he stripped. Video of the appearance was distributed to the local news media. The organization that sponsored the meeting lost its government funding and two of its leaders were fired after the incident.
Blake now criticizes the adult film industry as corrupt and advises young people not to enter it. He also opposes same-sex marriage but favors other means for securing gay rights.[2]
In 2007, Blake appeared on the CD by rap artist Trudog titled Booty Ain't Got No Face.[4]
As of 2007, Blake is studying for a master's degree in criminal justice. He has written a book scheduled for release in May 2007 titled My Life in Porn: The Bobby Blake Story (ISBN 0786720964), which tells about his youth and experiences in the adult film industry.[2][5]
