VPSofW: Ryan Idol

Ryan Idol describes himself as "the creation of Marc Anthony Donais;" I think of him more of a creation of Matt Sterling. Although he retired in 1996, he is still recognizable, even by younger gay porn viewers. Ryan Idol got started modeling for "Playgirl" and that lead him into work for the adult industry. Standing 6'2", at 195 lbs, he had a wonderful body and a 9" dick, but wasn't in that many flicks. In 1998, he famously fell from a third-floor window that he considered a near-death experience. More recently, in 2008, he was mentioned in court documents in connection with allegations of misuse of funds donated to a children's charity. I prefer to recall him as he was in his videos, with my personal recommendations being Idol Eyes, Score 10, and Idol In The Sky.
