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:
“The quickness with which all the “stuff” from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other’s lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
