recognizing the work Mercenary Pictures and its directors — Tina
Tyler, Jimmy Scaffnetti and myself — have done in the last year.”

“Being inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame is a life achievement,” he
said. “To be included in the pantheon of the greatest video performers
is validating, yet humbling at the same time. Furthermore, to be
inducted alongside my mentor, Mr. Marcus, makes this even more special
to me.
“Being nominated for The Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year by
AVN is appreciated and, I feel, important. I’m aware of the
responsibility to represent our industry in the most positive manner I
can. It is an honor for me to continue to represent our industry in
the mainstream.”
