Gay Porn Star Andy Dill is Dead

One of the sweetest, most wonderful people in the gay porn industry died today. Andy Dill was my friend for several years, and recently became my neighbor across the street. He died at 3:00pm Wednesday after a very short bout of menengitis. He spent only a few days in the hospital, but deteriorated quickly, and was gone. I don't have many other details, but word is already out, so we'll hear more soon.

This afternoon I got a call that he was in the hospital and near death. His assistant got word that Andy's family was on their way into town and they didn't know he was in the porn business. We had to move quickly to get all of Bear Films equipment into my basement to avoid giving the family any further shock at this delicate moment.

Andy Dill appeared in about 20 gay porn movies, produced his own title (Bedrock), ran RedHeadGuys.com (his own private fetish), and most recently was director and Vice President of Bear Films. The videography on his website, AndyDill.com, tells some interesting behind the scenes info on each of his movies, too. He worked for Raging Stallion, Titan, All Worlds, Catalina, ButtMachineBoys, and Factory Videos among others.

He always expressed strong interest in us collaborating on projects, especially since I have a studio in my basement for shooting. He helped shoot one scene for my website, and I helped with one scene for Bear Films, but that's as far as we got.

The photo above is from the last time I saw him and his boyfriend. It was at my birthday party on November 4.

He will be greatly missed.
