Porn star Ken Ryker

He's some sort of clergyman in the Black Hills now, no?

There was a short time that I was obsessed.

Is he a daddy now, I mean a daddy with kids?

He's gone brunette.

Did he just finish breastfeeding?

Thick boy. Was very shy when I met him

"Don't call me Norman. Call me Chubbsy-Ubbsy!"

How time flies and makes adjustments to the body.

He looked so remarkable back in his day--like a Tom of Finland drawing come to life.

Unfortunately, he wasn't much of a performer. He did not have a lot of charisma onscreen, and he trouble keeping that big dick hard (his heyday was before Viagra).

Last time I spoke to Gary was at Rage. He was being pimped out by David Forrest for 5K a nite. He was sitting alone at the back of the bar in the dark. Offered to buy him a beer. He said he had stopped drinking. We talked about friends in the business. I asked him what he was doing these days. He replied "Hiding". I put my hand on his shoulder and said "But you're a legend.. a God." Gary laughed and responded. "I don't feel like a God." I still remember his shoulder hair poking my hand like wires thru his t-shirt. Sad man. Felt sorry for him. Hope the five kids and Jesus helped. I really do.

R10. Who is in the left position of your two photos?

HIs inability to ever get really hard and stay hard kept him from being a favorite of mine.

In the WHET porn stars thread on LPSG, someone claims that he's half Korean. He was born in Korea but is definitely not of Korean descent.

R13 he was born in South Korea to white American parents (probably in the military) and was raised in Texas.

I'd still tap that.

I'd still tap that twice.

How many DUIs is she up to now?

He looks like Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds, Josh Harnett and Josh Brolin all rolled into one. Not a bad thing, but that's what I'm seeing in the OP photo.

i would impregnate him.

When he was younger, he definitely looked like Ryan Reynolds in the face.

Well, it's not easy to get a huge dick hard for gay porn when you're not really gay.

Was at a Ken Ryker photoshoot in the Hollywood Hills c. 1998. Outside, by a swimming pool. Was Greg Gorman the photographer? Someone upthread described him as 'shy' and that about nails it. A reluctant porn star.

How old is he?

Wasn’t he fit like 10 years ago? It hasn’t been that long.

R10 is full of complete bullshit and sounds like one of the delusional whackjobs who lurk here, always insisting they have a first-person story of someone being talked about. How would R10 remember this conversation verbatim? Note the "Last time I talked to Gary...." - OP wants you to know he's totally intimately in the know of this person with the "last time" nonsense.

R24 sure you recall the last intimate conversation ya had with Dunkin.

Somebody hit a nerve R25?

R21 Greg did some great work but no one made Gary look more iconic than Jim. Maestro nonpareil.

Least I can see my nerve R26.

Not R10, but his story has been relayed before on DL and I believe it. I never met Ryker, but those who did say that personality wise, he was very ill suited to the business.

Any sons?

...to kill? Well, if they ever want to do porn, I'll take care of them.

Chi Chi, is it true that the first time you saw Hal Rockland, you gave him coke, photographed him doing it and then blackmailed him into doing porn? Legend has it that during the 3 Brothers shoot, Ryker had a talk with all three and said that if they didn't want to do porn, they couldn't be forced into doing it and the contract they signed means shit.

He's got flat hair now.

[quote]Chi Chi, is it true that the first time you saw Hal Rockland, you gave him coke...

Who's to say? I gave (and then sold.. hehe) drugs to more porn stars than there are actual stars in the night sky.

And then they died.

Is Chi Chi the fat lady in the background of some pornos of the late 90s?

Behold the ravages of age!

Sat by him at a Barnes & Noble back in the late 90s.

He was gorgeous.

I remember the day David Forrest admitted in a post at ATIOL that he had been contacted by Ken who was years out of the business and living back in his hometown of Custer, SD. asking David to set up some meat and greets for him on the west coast, but he had to be VERY secretive about it. Obviously he was in need of some serious money and fast. I think this was before he had married. I don't remember if it was before or after he started getting multiple DUIs

His father was/is a minister in Custer, SD. today. I hope he's gotten his life back on track and is somewhat happy.

Ryker is fat in OP's pic but he's not gross looking or anything.

He has put on some weight. Looks like he's holding a baby, but the look on his face says "somebody come get this thing off me".

Makes me laugh because when I met him back in his heyday I wished I could have a body like him, and now 25 or so years later, I am in a hell of a lot better shape

Having kids takes a toll on your figure, r41.

She always did sport child-bearing hips.

Let's have some more pics of Ken in his prime!

Even being middle aged and paunchy, he could still make six figures on OnlyFans.

Dick still big.

Crawford & Davis of 90's gay porn.

I met Ken Ryker once when I did some extra work at an adult livestreaming company in Chatsworth, CA. My job that day was to read back to the on-camera talent (female) what the viewer was typing, and I'd type back a response or something inane like "Do you like when I finger myself? My pussy is all wet just thinking of you."

Ken came in to shoot a scene with a female partner, but the female partner was a no-show. So the manager asked the young lady I was working with if she'd fill in. The young lady was hesitant at first, saying she was scheduled to only do solo that day and wasn't prepared for fucking. She asked a bunch of personal questions like Ken's pos/neg status, when was the last time he got tested, had he been with guys and how recently, etc. But eventually, she agreed and shot the scene, and I sat in the background watching the two copulate.

Ken was a beautiful, big hunk of a man, but very quiet; polite and low-key. I got the sense that he was a nice boy from the country, lost in the big, bad city.

"...he could still make six figures on OnlyFans"

The gay/bi male cock lust is powerful. He could hit the gym and make money just letting people blow him. Or charge for nude house cleaning. A big cock is money.

But he's just a dumb hick. I hooked-up with a hugely hung daddy once who was a janitor.

R48 - Was he actually able to have a non-squishy erection?

Ken Ryker was the perfect example of someone hot AF in photos but dull as dishwater in a video.

*ditchwater

[quote] who was a janitor

Don't say "janitor". It wounds. Say "custodian".

I last ran into Gary AKA Ken Ryker at The Exterminating Angel premier at the Salzburger Festspiele in 2016. We were both relieved it was in English, though Gary's German is much better than mine. I joked that Why Du Yun should take on the Ken Ryker Story but he wasn't amused. Later that evening, I blew the horse hung hungarian Hausmeister of the Kleines Festspielhaus and thought of Gary.

He seems like one of those guys who should have never gotten into the porn business. He knew going in that he could never let his family know what he was up to, and was apparently stupid enough to think that no one who knew his family would ever find out what he was up to and possibly reveal it all to the people back home. Or, perhaps his past was revealed at some point and his family has forgiven him. Who knows. It's one of the mysteries of people who decide to get into porn I'll never understand.

[Quote] Having kids takes a toll on your figure,

Tell me about it R42. Pete doesn’t even want to be in the same room as me anymore.

Pete must miss all his hot young interns as a Cabinet Secretary.

Has he retired his bat for good?

[quote]Sat by him at a Barnes & Noble back in the late 90s.

I had no idea he was so LITERARY!

I see this and am SO GLAD I didn’t get into porn!

Was porn recruiting when you were a stunning jock at State U, and you were sorely temped?

Putting "didn't make cash with Only Fans" on my résumé under Leadership & Integrity.

R54. Why was he in Europe?
