a.k.a. Buick Adams, Charles Allen, D.A. Adams

Buck Adams is a muscle-bound rough-nut who got into porn in the early 80's at the urging of his sister, hardcore superstar Amber Lynn. He's a hard-as-nails stud with a somewhat flattened nose that makes him look like a recently retired prizefighter. His sexual prowess has never been in question, and he's been one of the most dependable porno studs throughout most of the past two decades.

Buck's hunkish physique and quite respectable acting talents make him the perfect choice for action/adventure type hardcore features that enable him to perform in ways other than sexual. Buck was married to pornstress Janette Littledove for a time during the 1980's, but the relationship has since gone the way of most porno marriages. Another frequent on-screen partner is Rebecca Wild, and the two have turned in lots of fiery trysts together. One of Buck's most well-known performances is opposite Tori Welles in the late 80's classic 'The Chameleon.' And Buck's roll in the hay with Nina Hartley in 'Peeping Tom' ranks with the hottest work either has ever done.

Buck's well-honed acting skills have gotten him plenty of industry kudos, including three Best Actor Awards from AVN . His no-nonsense, full-throttle passion can be seen in over 400 features. Buck is a member of both the AVN and XRCO Performers Halls of Fame, and he continues to pop up in the occasional sexvid, although he's cut way back from the hectic shooting schedule of his early days.

Died October 28, 2008 of complications from heart failure. He was 52.
