LOS ANGELES—Tom Byron is already one of the legendary woodsmen of the adult film industry. His career has spanned over three decades and seen him win virtually every award possible. According to IAFD.com, the world's leading source of adult film-related data, Tom's latest project puts him over another major milestone.
Already the most prolific performer in porn_history, Byron's newest IAFD entries extend his own record for most XXX appearances, making him the first performer to exceed 3000.
In retirement since 2012, Bryon was lured back by Axel Braun for his latest blockbuster parody. The opportunity to reprise his role as Obi Wan Kenobi for Braun's Empire Strikes Back XXX was just too good for Byron to pass up.
Braun’s XXX sequel to 2012’s hit Star Wars XXX is one of the more widely anticipated adult releases of the year. Joining Byron in reprising their roles are Allie Haze, Lexington Steele and Seth Gamble.
The only member of the 3000 scene club, Byron’s current total of 3004 averages out to 91 per year during that time. He currently sits more than 600 ahead of Lee Stone, Mark Wood and Ron Jeremy, at least one of whom no longer appears to be performing. It is notable, however, that these totals include compilations in which the performer has appeared.
"There really isn't anyone close to Byron when it comes to overall appearances," stated IAFD's Jeff Vanzetti. "It was just a matter of time before he passed 3000. His closest competition is still years away from coming close."
From 1982’s Anything Goes to 2015’s Empire Strikes Back XXX, Tom Byron is truly XXX’s iron man.
