Will Clark (pornographic Actor) - Porn Career

Porn Career

Clark's career as a gay adult film performer began in 1995 and continued through 1999, with a final appearance (as of April 2008) coming in 2003. Since his last sexual on-screen performance, he made a handful of nonsexual cameo roles. Prior to his porn career, Clark was a struggling actor in New York City. "I had trouble finding roles," he told Manshots magazine (then the gay adult film industry's publication-of-record). "I just didn’t fit anything. I wasn’t the type they were looking for. No one was casting a young, redheaded male. So to earn money, I started go-go dancing at The Limelight and Tunnel and Palladium. I also started doing male escort work, and I really enjoyed that."

A music promoter encouraged him to apply to Falcon Studios as a gay porn star; he did and was rejected. "'You’re too white, you’re too hairy, you’re a redhead. We don’t care for any of that stuff. And you need to bulk up,'" he recalled being told.Through a connection in San Francisco, California, Clark secured an audition with gay adult film director Steven Scarborough of Hot House Video, and was subsequently cast in his first erotic feature, Dr. Goodglove, in 1996.Within a year, however, Clark had indeed added a significant amount of muscle, as well as begun to appear in leather and BDSM porn films. Clark subsequently appeared in roughly 50 adult films in a wide variety of adult film genres, although reviewers say his best performances were in leather and BDSM films.

Clark has managed his image and public persona to maintain his popularity. "I’ve been good at marketing on the Web. I take care of my fans when I tour—give them pictures and promotional materials," he told one interviewer. "The columns I write and the fund-raisers I do help raise awareness of my presence. Everything sort of blends together."
