Adult Film Career
Kerman started his adult film career in 1975. He first appeared in performing on-screen sex with director Roberta Findlay in Anyone But My Husband. Kerman then became one of the biggest stars of the Golden Age of Porn, star of such classics as Debbie Does Dallas, Gerard Damiano's The Satisfiers of Alpha Blue and Henri Pachard's The Devil in Miss Jones Part II. He won the Adult Film Association of America Best Supporting Actor award for Outlaw Ladies in 1981, and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 1998. His last role in an explicit hardcore film was in 1987's Corporate Assets.
Kerman highly regrets his participation in Debbie Does Dallas as he feels it ruined his mainstream career. In the 2005 Channel 4 documentary Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered he states: "In retrospect I'm really sorry that I did it, because I probably ruined the best years of my life as an actor."

Famous quotes containing the words adult, film and/or career:
“Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
—V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
