Voodoo (born Alex Torres;[1] September 24, 1977) is a Canadian pornographic film actor.[2]

Career

In September 1999, Voodoo and a friend left Canada and began a cross country motorcycle road trip in the United States.[5] In October 1999, they began working as pornographic film actors after arriving in California without any money, contacting Vivid Entertainment, and being referred to Jim South.[5]

As of May 2012, Voodoo remains under contract with Reality Kings, a production company he signed with in 2009.[4]

In December 2012, Voodoo and pornographic actress Karlie Montana launched the reality porn website MiPhoneSex.com on the XXXFastPass Network.[6]

Personal life

Voodoo married pornographic actress Nicole Sheridan in October 2000.[3] During their joint marriage and porn career, they always worked together even during group scenes.[7] They also used condoms with everyone except each other;[7] their marriage lasted 10 years.[4]

Voodoo worked on weekends as a part-time instructor at Skydive Taft until October 2011 when he was fired after it was discovered he stole from the company by not paying for a sky-diving experience and inappropriately conducted himself on company time with the recorded sexual encounter with the receptionist Hope Howell while skydiving in Kern County, California.[8] The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigated the incident and found that it did not violate FAA rules because the stunt did not interfere with the pilot's ability to fly the aircraft.[9] According to Howell, the purpose of the stunt was to grab the attention of Howard Stern and appear on Stern's radio show.[10]
