Collin O'Neal
Collin O'Neal (born Shawn Loftis in 1975 in Florida), is an American gay pornographic actor and director who appears in gay pornographic films and magazines. He has used his real name as a CNN citizen reporter and as a substitute teacher; his teacher's certification was revoked in April 2011, after his porn career was brought to light — he claimed to have quit performing in the spring of 2010 — and was suspended from his substitute teaching position in the Miami-Dade County Public Schools in January 2011. In February 2012, the Florida Education Practices Commission reversed that decision, allowing Loftis to return to teaching in Miami-Dade County. He would also be eligible to apply for a permanent position as an educator.[1]
He is also a director, and performed in the gay pornographic series World of Men shot in various cities around the world from Buenos Aires to Sydney. The series has been nominated many times for awards; World of Men: Lebanon won a GayVN Award for Best Pro/Am Release as well as a Grabby Award for Best Videography jointly for Collin O'Neal and Dan Fox.
