Anybody remember him?
He was a secondary/character actor in mostly straight porn in the 70s and 80s, but some gay too. (most famous probably being Debbie Does Dallas, Insatiable, Aunt Peg, Blonde Ambition, and Centurions of Rome). In 1989 he was in The Night Boys with Melchor Diaz (hot gay porn star who died of AIDS a few years later). In the 90s he was doing mostly low budget gay and straight BDSM.
Barely any info online about him.
Born David J. Reingold on Jan. 9, 1952 in White Plains, NY Died: May 22, 1999 in Delray Beach, FL
The best personal info I found here on DL (thanks, whoever you are):
"...He was one that fell in to drug addiction, and contracted Hep C from his heroin use. He did a few gay movies and loops earlier in his career when he looked good, but did several after he got out of shape and always looked tired and sweaty near the end of his career. He ended up dying in Florida in 1999 of a overdose."
"I heard that about Morris from a few other performers who worked with him and from a guy who is writing a book on the history of porn who has interviewed a lot of people from back then who are still alive and willing to talk. He was apparently a relatively intelligent guy also, so it's a shame his life ended the way it did. From the sleuth work you've done, it sounds like a few of his brothers have their share of issues too."
Me, I found info about his three brothers online (one is an ex NYPD cop accused of raping at least two women, another lives near St. Louis and was arrested on a drug charge, and another took over the old folks home business after the father died) but nothing about him.
I also contacted Rialto Report asking if they planned to do anything on him. They're reply: "We've spoken to many, many people who worked with him - and we always ask about what they remember about him. Without fail people have the same response - good looking, easy to work with, but kept himself to himself... and so was a bit of an enigma."
Know anything about him?
