a.k.a. Mike Long, Luciano

Years Active: 1996-2008

One of the brightest young male talents on the hardcore scene, Porn Star Michael Stefano's among the first men to become contract players in his own right. After a string of incendiary freelance performances, Michael Stefano (under the name Michael Stefano) was signed by Extreme Associates to star exclusively in their down-and-dirty epics. He eventually left the company, but his place in porn history as one of the first men to be given contract status is secure.

A reasonably well-built young stud with a penchant for nasty action, Michael Stefano streaked through the porn ranks soon after his late 1997 debut. With swarthy good looks, a fun-loving 'never-say-never' attitude and a spunky mullet haircut, Michael Stefano was an instantly recognizable presence on the scene. His relentless energy and reliable performance skills made him a fave among producers and co-stars alike. By the time of his signing with Extreme, Michael Stefano was fast becoming one of the hottest studs on the market.

As Michael Stefano, Michael Stefano turned in some amazing work in a relatively short span of time. He shined in a tag-team scene in 'Planet Of The Gapes 1,' taking on Raquel Devine and Sheena in rapid -- and raunchy -- succession. Not one to shy away from interracial action, some of Michael Stefano's best work comes when he's matched up with an energetic ebony sex kitten -- as his work opposite Shanna in 'Black Video Virgins 5' attests.

During his time at Extreme, Michael Stefano turned into a virtual one-man gang at times. For example, in 'Whack Attack 2,' he started the fun with a steamy threeway with Eve and Cassie. He then leapt into a frenzied interracial threesome with Meka Johnson and India. Still not done, Michael Stefano then found himself in a group scene with Stryc-9, Regan Starr, Phyllisha Ann and Kelly Dean! Stamina is definitely no problem for this stud!

Self-inflicted injuries, though, might be. Michael Stefano was forced to take a break from porn in the early part of the decade due to a mishap that occurred while shooting in Brazil. He shot himself up with some sort of drug concoction to help him maintain an erection. However, after shooting three scenes Michael Stefano found himself experiencing an extremely painful priapus condition -- basically, his erection wouldn't go away. After 23 hours of this torture, Michael Stefano went in for emergency surgery, and his Brazilian doctors ended up cutting a pair of holes in the head of his member in order to drain it. He then had months of problems getting an erection at all. The problem eventually corrected itself, though, and Michael Stefano picked up right where he left off.

In 2001, Michael Stefano left Extreme and moved to West Coast Productions, leaving behind his old moniker and dubbing himself 'Michael Stefano.' As Michael Stefano, he's continued in much the same vein as with Extreme, directing and starring in a string of white-hot series. He helms the 'Sticky Side Up' line as well as the 'Sex Toys' series, where he's turned in some of his best work yet. For example, in 'Sex Toys 3,' Michael Stefano proves himself every bit as energetic and capable as ever, taking on Cheryl Dynasty, Aurora Snow, Bamboo and Lacie Coxx in a quartet of ravenous romps.

Michael Stefano also directs the group-sex oriented 'Caution Your Azz Is In Danger' line and the 'Buttfaced' line. In 'Buttfaced 3,' he delivers another stellar outing, trysting with Lea DeMae, Sara Joy and Caramel in three more torrid sessions. Clearly, Michael Stefano is a man who never tires of his wanton 'work.' He's one of the most talented young performers and directors on the scene today, whatever name he chooses to go by.
