Meet the Man Who Went From Being Fox News Anchor To Successful Adult Film Star
Jim Walker had it all. He was in his early 40s, healthy, and at the peak of his career in journalism, having worked in broadcasting and live breaking news for more than 20 years, with two regional Emmy nominations under his belt plus countless other awards.
And then it all came crashing down.
First, his partner died. As a result, Walker began having financial problems. His health started to decline. Then one day out of the blue, he was told by his network that he was “unlikeable” and promptly fired.
So he did what any recently single, recently unemployed, 44-year-old gay male does: He got butt implants and became a gay adult film star/male escort.
“It was a good thing getting released from my contract,” Walker, who now goes by Dallas Steele, says in a new interview with C&C. “I’m much more successful in every measure than I ever was before.”
Over the past 19 months, Steele has shot a total of six top-selling pornos with both TitanMen and MenAtPlay, and he’s been nominated for a whopping nine 2016 Grabby Awards. And he’s just getting started.
“I am as comfortable in a suit as I am a jockstrap,” Steele says.
Despite his overnight success in the adult entertainment industry, Steele still has fair share of naysayers, mainly people who criticize him for his age. But he doesn’t let that bother him.
“They’ve obviously decided at some point that there are limitations about who you can be and what you can do once you hit 40,” he says.
Ultimately, he says, he feels sorry for those people.
“I’m sorry if the haters have decided that gays over forty are supposed to put on the board shorts, move to the suburbs and settle down to bridge parties once per week,” he says. “I don’t plan to ever go quietly into the night.”
Indeed! See Steele in action HERE.

October 18, 06:30WOW! Like seriously, WOW! To make such a radical decision from news anchor to porn star, that’s not usually what comes to mind when you are suddenly unemployed at 40. Kudos to him. And he is such a hunk now.

October 18, 07:41Abeg leave flat, and focus on#GetMoney.
He was about to venture into the job market and a new industry. He understood what it means to have an “added advantage” that employers like to ask for.

October 18, 08:38Keredim, no be here you de when them say na only degenerates , lowlifes, under achievers and morally bankrupt people de do porn?
We even had a post that featured the delicious and marvelously surprising articulate Sean Zevran, who happens to be a graduate o, talk about and compared the discrimination that gay porn stars face to homophobia and KD people still found a way to drag him. He is a graduate that could hold and pursue any career he chooses, but for the mere fact that he chose pornography (something he loves and enjoys creative freedom in)ndi KD deemed less and not equal to them because …he has no MORAL and lacks SELF RESPECT.

October 18, 10:05Thanks for the link @Peak. I think i missed that one…..
I read through it and the comments….It’s the usual suspects.
So nothing spoilt….
The way the world is today, you have to have something upstairs to have a measure of success in the porn industry. And though it helps, you don’t necessarily have to have a degree to achieve that level of success. You just have to be intelligent.

Chuck
October 18, 12:09Older Nigerian men don’t NEED to be attractive to pull. You know what the per capita income is. Once you can afford to pamper your partners you’ll always be able to find an attractive student or worker that will get naked with you.
