a.k.a. Ian Black, Manny Santos, Tom Black, Ian McDaniel

Ian Daniels is the prototypical b-grade porno stud. He's a guy whose face is instantly recognizable by any porn fan due to his impressive work rate -- he's appeared in over 600 flicks since his 1993 debut! Ian's a do-anything, do-anyone kind of stud who's not shy about delving into everything from gang bangs to granny-goosing. No actor, Ian's at his best when the scene calls for zero dialogue but plenty of passion.

Born on July 8, 1970, Ian got into hardcore in 1993 on the arm of then-girlfriend Shelby Stevens. As a couple, they shot a string of white-hot scenes throughout '93, their passion coming through in each feverish tryst. Among their best scenes are their very early work in 'Video Virgins 9' and their romantically-tinged tussling in 'Sex Fugitive.' The pair may have made the move into porn as a tandem, but it didn't take either of them long to head off in any old sexual direction. Before too long, Ian and Shelby had split up and he was free to pursue his torrid trade with all comers.

Ian made the most of his chance, agreeing to appear in just about any flick that would have him. In flicks like 'Colossal Orgy 1' and 'Gang Bang at the O.K. Corral,' Ian made it clear that he was the kind of hardcore performer who was able to perform with anyone under any circumstances. His wanton willingness to try anything twice made him one of the busiest male performers of the mid-90's.

Ian's gone through a couple of looks during his years in the business. He started off with a lank, long-haired look that seemed to come straight out of an amateur surf competition, but has since cleaned himself up a bit. Now he tends to come across more like a porno Charlie Sheen than anything else. He still turns in riveting scenes on a regular basis, such as his fiery workout with Iroc and Alexandra Nice in 'Whack Attack 4.' His frantic fling with Katie Gold in 'Street Meat 2' is another recent scene that points to Ian's continued passionate prowess.

Ian Daniels isn't likely to win any industry awards, but it's tirelessly hard working studs like him who make today's down and dirty porno business what it is.
