Tiger Tyson

Template:Male adult bio Tiger Tyson (pseudonym) (born May 20, 1977 in Brooklyn, New York) is a popular American gay-pornographic actor, model and director, noted for his appearances in ethnic-themed adult films, where he performs regularly as a top. He has also worked as an male escort and gogo dancer, and has appeared in several gay-themed publications. Tyson, who is of black and Puerto Rican descent, is renowned for his large endowment and aggressive sexual style on camera.

Tyson went into pornography after serving 14 months in prison for grand theft auto. Recruited by a friend and fellow dancer at a gay club, Tyson was introduced in the 1997 film Sweatin' Black with director Enrique Cruz. Shortly thereafter Tyson starred in his breakthrough film, Tiger's Brooklyn Tails. After serving a stint as an actor for Latino Fan Club, Tyson left the porn industry in 1999, but returned in 2000 to form his own production company, Tiger Tyson Productions. He co-founded Pitbull Productions in 2003, and announced his retirement in 2004, but changed his mind after the success of Take 'Em Down, one of his highest-grossing movies ever. To date, Tyson has appeared in over two dozen films.

There has been a fair amount of speculation among Tyson's fans as to whether he sees men privately, or if he is merely gay-for-pay. Though Tyson's blog features posts wherein he brags about same-sex encounters, he has at other times insisted he is straight and would never bottom on film. In one of his later movies, Tyson relates to a fellow model that he only engages in homosexual acts on camera, because it's "more fun." Tyson had a woman's name tattooed on his arm for years, but recently had it inked over.

Off-camera, Tyson openly promotes safe sex education, AIDS research and gay rights.
