a.k.a. Dale Bonet, Dale DeBone

Dale Dabone is another hunky representative of the new wave of porn stud. Along with Devin Wolf, Dale has set a new standard for looks among hardcore men -- he looks more like a buffed male model than the typically rangy guy who's been the industry's stock-in-trade until now. With a well-built physique, penetrating dark eyes and the kind of prominent eyebrows that are so in vogue right now, Dale is a favorite among female stars and audience members alike.

Dale started out in porn in 1998, shooting amateur productions in his native North Carolina. It was an appearance in the Al Borda flick 'Carolina Girls' that got him noticed by West Coast producers. Within a matter of months, Dale had jetted out to Southern Cali and was well on his way to becoming one of the top studs in the business. His good looks and reliable performance skills shot him up the industry ladder, and he now shoots mainly for high-end companies like Vivid and Wicked.

Dale's olive-skinned good looks always get a rise out of his partners, and he has a tendency to bring out the best in whoever he's matched up with. One of his best scenes so far is in 'Swift Picks,' where he joins Stephanie Swift for a slamming finale. In 'Briana Banks aka Filthy Whore,' Dale hooks up with busty Briana in a feverish final fling that's set in a medical lab. Dale sends Briana into a frothy frenzy in a high-energy segment that's the best in the flick.

While some high-end studs tend to confine themselves to one-on-ones, Dale is happy to help out in group scenes or threesomes as well. In '100% Silvia,' he and Julian St. Jox send Silvia Saint into a torrid tizzy. Dale's pretty-boy look also got him a good part in the Ginger Lynn comeback flick 'White Lightning.' He and Billy Glide took on the porn legend in a gripping cop fantasy DP segment that's the tape's best.

Anyone who's familiar with big-budget, glossy hardcore has seen Dale Dabone in action over the past few years. Guys like him are driving out the beer bellies and grizzled vets from the scene, and the industry's female fans couldn't be happier.
