Michael Stefano (born August 29, 1969) is a pornographic actor and director.[1] Before entering pornography, Michael held a variety of jobs in the restaurant and hotel industries.[3] While working as a bartender in 1997, he met a couple with a connection in porn and would appear in his first film shortly thereafter.[3] He would appear in over 900 films and, by his own estimate, perform in over 3,000 scenes.[3]

An injury forced Stefano to take a break from performing and in the interim learned how to edit.[4] He began his directing career with Extreme Associates in the mid-1990s under the name Luciano.[5] In 2001 he started directing for Red Light District Video.[6] In 2003 Platinum X Pictures was launched by Stefano and Jewel De'Nyle (whom he would later marry), bankrolled by Red Light.[6] Platinum X featured directors Manuel Ferrara, Brandon Iron and Steve Holmes, and produced very similar content to Red Light.[6] Around the same time Red Light began distributing the films of Amateur District and Candy Shop, a studio headed by Stefano specializing in interracial content.[6]

In 2010 Stefano announced his retirement from pornography,[3] but in 2011 he announced his return to pornography full-time. Finally, in 2012, he completely retired from the Adult Industry. He is Italian-American.
