Herschel Savage is the usual nom-de-porn for this always affable stud who's made a couple of riveting runs through the porno world. Herschel's an East Coast guy whose naturalistic approach to hardcore has made him one of the most prolific male porners of all time. Not the most traditionally handsome guy in the business, Herschel comes across as a down to earth, average guy who somehow found himself right in the middle of one of the wildest industries around. He exudes a friendly presence when on screen, and is known throughout the business as a straight-up stud who doesn't have a big head or star complex at all.
Herschel was born on November 25, 1952, the son of Russian Jewish parents in New York. He grew up with the dream of becoming an actor, and was working on the fringes of the stage scene in New York City when porn came calling. His girlfriend at the time was a pal of porn impresario R. Bolla, and arranged for Herschel to meet with an agent. In March of 1976, Savage shot his first hardcore loop and a career was born. Savage was tired of the constant hustling required to be a legit actor in New York and porn's more relaxed shooting schedule fit his lifestyle well.
Between 1976 and 1988 Herschel appeared in over 600 features, winning fans as much for his no-poses demeanor as his obvious sexual prowess. Among his best flicks was the classic 'Bodies in Heat,' where Herschel hooked up with Kimberly Carson and Annette Haven in a pair of sizzling sessions. He won the 1987 AVN Award for Best Couples Sex Scene for his work with Nina Hartley in 'Amanda By Night #02.' He retired from the scene in '88 to settle down with his new wife. Unfortunately, their marriage foundered and by 1995 he was single again and looking for something to fill his time.
Friend David 'Pussyman' Christopher convinced Herschel that he still had what it took to excel at porn. Once he laid his eyes on the scrumptious young cuties populating the industry of late, Herschel was ready to jump right back into the thick of things. He's appeared in hundreds of flicks since 1997 and has once again staked a claim to being one of the scene's greatest male stars. Among his best recent work is his fiery tussle with Alexandra Nice and Alana in 'Hot Bods and Tail Pipe #05.' Other blistering scene find Herschel taking on breasty beauty Charlie in a fabulously feverish fling in 'Masterpiece' and getting down and dirty with Ann Marie in 'Babes in Pornland: Latin Babes.'
Currently working towards his 1100th hardcore appearance, Herschel's glad he made a return to the industry. His professional approach, steady work ethic and skills between the sheets insure that he'll be getting roles for as long as he decides to stick with it. He's worked with just about every starlet the scene has churned out over the past 25 years -- from Vanessa Del Rio to Felix Vicious, from Annette Haven to Dee, from Sunset Thomas to Sunrise Adams, he's had them all. Herschel's a very deserving member of both the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.
