[edit] Acting
When he first started acting in hardcore films, he played mostly the young schoolboy or "coming of age" roles due to the fact that he looked like a teenager even though he was in his early to mid 20's. He starred alongside Traci Lords in many movies including her first one in early 1984, What Gets Me Hot!. It is rumored that he did some gay porn, but nothing has officially surfaced. Byron has, however, confirmed the authenticity of a series of pictures which depict him performing oral sex on a transsexual.
He has changed his image several times throughout his career, going from clean-shaven adolescent to hard rocker look (complete with tattoos and piercings) to clean cut businessman appearance. Unlike the majority of male porn stars, Tom apparently doesn't work out extensively and has never maintained a muscular physique, instead relying on his ability to perform consistently and his name recognition.
In November 2005, Byron announced his return to the screen after a three year hiatus in which he only directed and produced films. His first movie that he will perform in is titled "Tom Byron's House Of Ass Volume 1" which will be released under his Evolution Erotica Company label in February 2006.
[edit] Directing
Tom has directed over 70 films, his most notable being the Cumback Pussy series for Elegant Angel. Along with fellow directors Van Damage and Rob Black, and performer Tiffany Mynx, Tommy left Elegant Angel in 1998 to form a new company, Extreme Associates.
