Crowe has three movies coming out in 2005. Screened to great response at the popular Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, Being Ron Jeremy marks Berke’s first feature. The film also features cameos from several adult stars including Teri Weigel, Kendra Jade, Mary Carey, Gauge, Alexandra Nice, Kira Eggers, Jacklyn Lick, Monique Dane and Kelly Fire Steele.

In addition to the feature film, the DVD also features special features including “Ron Jeremy Live!” a look at his comedic stand-up act and “Inside the Porn Actors Studio” a candid and hysterical Q&A with the star himself.
