Porn Star Randy West is one of the most prolific, hardest working studs in hardcore history. His carnal career has spanned almost the entire life of the genre itself, stretching from 1975 to the present day. With over 1100 videos under his belt as a performer and having directed over 150 sexvids, it's safe to say that Randy West has more than made his mark on the business.

Randy West was born on October 12, 1947 in New York. He started his performing career as a singer, belting out rock and blues numbers at small clubs around the Big Apple. He moved to Southern California in the early 70s to pursue his singing career, but he ended up getting sexily sidetracked.

Randy's swarthy surfer guy good looks soon got him noticed by adult film producers. They convinced him to try his hand at being a porn stud, and he shot a handful of features during the mid and late 70s. Among his earliest films are 'Sexpert' and 'Confession of Emmanuelle,' flicks that showcase a young stud on the rise.

By the early 80s, the porn video boom was in full swing and Randy West saw that there was more money to be made in on-screen eroticism than in honky-tonk crooning. He decided to become a full-time porn stud and spent the bulk of the 80s as one of the most tireless men in the business. Randy West romped with just about every starlet on the scene, making a name for himself as a stud who brought out the best in his partners.

Among Randy West's best 80s efforts is 'Jane Bond Meets Octopussy,' where he hooked up with Amber Lynn in a slam-bang session. He really put in a hard day's work in 1987's 'Tales of the Uncensored,' taking on Kim Alexis, Angela Baron, Carol Titian and Angel Kelly in a quartet of searing scenes.

Randy West continued working exclusively as a performer well into the 90s. He was one of the favorite partners of Ashlyn Gere, with whom he worked with very often. A couple of their best flicks together are 'Put it in Gere' and 'Shifting Gere.' In 1990's 'Australian Connection,' Randy West completed the Down Under trifecta, romping with Alice Springs, Deidre Holland and Kelly Blue in a trio of scenes.

After almost twenty years in the business, Randy West stepped behind the cameras in the mid-90s to helm the 'Up N Cummers' pro-am line. He quickly established the series as one of the premier places for young would-be starlets to get noticed, setting himself up quite nicely in the process. Randy West enjoys nothing better than watching or helping a young woman to an orgasmic explosion, and he finds that working with all the new girls helps him stay fresh and excited about his work.

Since starting the 'Up N Cummers' line, Randy West has helped welcome just about every major female talent into the biz. In 'Up N C 11,' he took on a fresh-faced, pre-boob-job Jenna Jameson in a heated fling. He welcomed Raylene to the biz in 'Up N C 40,' and trysted with Tera Patrick in one of her first flings in 'Up N C 73.' Let's face it, Randy West has gotten himself one of the best jobs in the free world with this series.

Randy West continues to help fresh young talent get their feet wet in the industry, and he's also directed such series as 'Crazy About Asians' and 'Real Female Masturbation.' As enthusiastic about his work today as when he shot those first loops back in the 70s, Randy West is one of the all-time great porn studs.
