Shows up from time to time in "Porn News" Forum, to promote a flick or two for NJ Films, but then ofcourse the titles you posted, would of led you to that.
Otherwise, thought I saw him the other day providing his extraordinary load displacment services, in J.Jordan's recent Feeding Frenzy 8.
I'm afraid to say this, but Avn just annoucned that John passed on, I feel so bad, I always got along good with Jon, my prays go out to him and his family.
Chet and I worked together during the, "Bring Um Young", days. Chet was one of the good guys, I'm totally taken by suprise, he was so full of life I can't imagine the desperation that led to that.
My condolences to Monique.
R.I.P. buddy loved workin with ya. Good memories, terrible end.
Nothing says I love you so much as a tongue in the ass. 2884 Posts 1/03

Dough always came across as sullen and mad at the world to me. In fact, in the scene with Autumn Haze from Rough Sex , he walked off the set muttering "Now they're really going to hate me." He was one of the core group of male performers that made Anabolic so formidable for several years, and started a couple of memorable and enduring lines for them. It's a shame he wasn't happier and more comfortable with his life. I can't say I'm totally shocked by this, but my heart goes out to Monique and his daughter.
Chet fought his demons for years and finally gave it up to them. Chet was not a sullen guy, in fact he had a great since of humor and had many interests outside the industry. It's sad he didn't follow his non demom interests as agressively as his demons.
I just read what Dan Silver said in the AVN about when you edit with someone you really get to know them well and it brought me back to my sessions with Chet. It's making me sick not like throw up sick but that I shoulda kudda wouldda too late feeling you lost something you'll never get back. Can't get over it..
Cal444 Somewhere thinkin bout Chet ever since I heard
I think the "now they are really going to hate me" was more out of feeling forced into doing something he felt was wrong, not him being sullen but I wasn't there
He use to get a lot of negative shit on the net, he'd do whatever the director and the girls wanted. He was bullet proof and unflappable. The "Rough Sex" thing was not "his thing", it was a Khan Tusion's, and keep in mind no one had done anything like that yet, hence the comment. I put that flick together so I remember the trepadation.
The impression I got of Jon was that while he was often very serious, he was certainly not sullen or mad at the world. Additionally, he was always polite, professional and honest, which is a rare combination of qualities in any industry. I've spoken to a number of people who have known and worked with Jon in recent years, and they all felt the same way about him.
Let me clarify, Tricia. Jon was obviously a truly nice guy. I was responding to the comment about him being 'sullen' and 'mad at the world', which was an inaccurate characterization of him.
I just wanted to clarify that despite the Rough Sex movie being what I (and many people) remember most about him unfortunately, I always found him to be a nice guy.
I liked the early 90s Jon best where he was funny and goofy in the Dark Bros. / Scotty Fox flicks. His work in The Perfect Pair, The Creasemaster -- I dare say submlime.
The rough stuff may be what newer fans remember him for, but with just over 20 years in the adult industry, the rough sex scenes were really only a small part of his resume. I think Jon may have been one of the first, if not first, males who was actually contracted with Vivid. He could do it all, and pretty much did over the length of his career. He could really act when he wanted too, was obviously good at the gonzo and all-sex stuff, plus was a damn good director. I've seen some behind-the-scene stuff on him over the years that show him to be a very funny guy. I'm talking laugh-out-loud funny too. I'd hate for others to remember him strictly as a guy who did rough sex scenes, because I never really thought that was truly who he was. I refuse to believe it!
