Background

Cass began his career in porn in 1987, appearing in Le Salon Studio's biggest-selling video, ''Weekend Workout'', with François Papillion. In 1989, he won the ''Adam Gay Video Directory'' "Dave Award" for Best Performer for his role of Billy Blue in ''Sexy Billy Blue''. He appeared in his last gay porn film, Catalina Video's ''Man of the Year'', in 1990, co-starring with Joey Stefano. Clips from his films were used in ''The Best of Joey Stefano'' and ''Oral Extravaganza'', compilation videos released after his retirement from the industry.
He opened Forrest Films, his own production company, in 1990; he produced, directed, and sometimes appeared in films which included ''The Private Home Videos of Lou Cass'', ''The Private Lives of Lou Cass'', ''Pleasure Theater'' (for which he also did the soundtrack), and ''Made in China''. He also recorded a cover of Nick Gilder's, ''Rated X'', which was released as a compact disc single in 1990 and it became the first recording by a porn star to hit the ''Billboard'' charts. A performance of Cass's single at the I-Beam dance club in San Francisco was quickly sold out. He later performed the single for Bill Graham's ''In Concert Against AIDS'', opening for Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt and Huey Lewis & The News.
Cass has performed over fifty concerts to raise funds for AIDS research. He continues to work in the music industry. According to his website, he released new material in 2006. His first few tunes were tailored for dance clubs. Some reviewers compared his 'Hi-NRG sound' to the Pet Shop Boys and Madonna. Cass now sports tattoos over most of his body.
Shortly following his retirement from porn, Cass began his forays into the mainstream entertainment business. His first role was on the popular daytime soap opera ''General Hospital''. His first movie role was playing one of Nick Mancuso's hired guns in the direct-to-video action flick ''The Takeover'' in 1994. This was followed by an appearance on Disney film, ''I Love Trouble'', with Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts, and appearances on ''Melrose Place'', ''Beverly Hills 90210'', ''Picket Fences'', ''The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.'', ''Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman'', ''seaQuest DSV'' and an episode of ''L.A. Law'', among others.
Lou Cass returns to the Entertainment Biz in 2007 PRODUCING Music
for his friend E.G. DAILY's new album, which will be released late
2007 or early 2008.
