Mini Biography

For over 20 years Canadian-born Peter North has been one of the most reliable performers in porn, with youthful good looks and a body sculpted almost to perfection from long hours spent in the gym. His career began in the days when porn movies were take-offs of legit films; they had plots, dialogue, (relatively) hefty budgets and were meant to be seen in theaters. He is still going strong today, a holdover (but not a "relic") from the "good old days" in the era of straight-to-video, low-budget rush jobs with no acting, no plot and actors and actresses covered in tattoos. Few porn actors have (or most likely ever will have) a resume as extensive as Peter's. Fewer actors can boast that they have been intimate on screen with as many of the superstars of porn as he has, such women as Trinity Loren, Jill Kelly, Christy Canyon, Keisha, Taylor Wayne, Rebecca Wild, Ashlyn Gere, Victoria Paris, Jewel De'Nyle, and even (on several occasions) the legendary - and, at the time, underage - Traci Lords. North's enduring popularity has spanned generations of porn fans, both male and female, and even after all these years he still continues to impress and amaze both fans and co-workers with his "range".

Personal Quotes

[on his beginning in gay porn] It was not a part of my sexuality at all. I was only able to do it because of my strong mind and my physical ability to have control over my own body.

Your body might be on the set, but your mind is elsewhere. When I'm with a woman who doesn't excite me, I try to use my imagination. Sex is not just physical, it's also mental.

I don't think the industry ever was my destiny. People meet me and say, "You don't seem like a porn star". I think they had that stereotyped image of porn actors being ugly and slimy and perverted.

I just did the movies and never thought about the recognition that came with them.
