Template:Male adult bio

Tiger Tyson (pseudonym) (born May 20, 1977[1] 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 a male escort and gogo dancer, and has appeared in several gay-themed publications. Tyson, who is of African American and Puerto Rican descent, is renowned for his large endowment and aggressive sexual style on camera.

Tyson went into pornography at age 19 after serving 14 months in prison for grand theft auto. Recruited by a friend and fellow dancer at a gay club[2], 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. He was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame in February 2008.[3]

He has insisted he would never bottom on film.[4]

Off-camera, Tyson openly promotes safe sex education, AIDS research and gay rights. In 2007, he endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, though it's doubtful Clinton ever acknowledged his support.[5]
