From news anchor to gay porn star

Dallas Steele
 
Jim Walker spent 23 years in front of the camera, sharing breaking news as a reporter and news anchor. He was even nominated twice for a regional Emmy.
 
But he left it all behind in order to strip down and fuck on camera. He is now an exclusive model for Titan Men, and works under the name Dallas Steele.
 
"I left the business in 2013 after my boss in Southwest Florida told me that research had shown ’people here just don’t like you,’” he said in an interview. Ouch! “Add to that the immense pressure of daily ratings where your job is virtually on the line every single day. TV news as we know it is dying, and the old school model is trying to divide a financial pie that has shrank by 75% in just 15 years.”
 
He said he missed being able to tell great stories and the rush of sharing breaking news.
 
“What I don’t miss is the schizophrenic management at every station that can’t decide from day to day what they want, and as a result are constantly blaming the talent and trying to make the talent be something they aren’t," he explained.
 
Of course, porn is a tough gig, where looks are paramount and ageism keeps a lot of "older" porn models out of the game.
 
“[Some porn fans] obviously decided at some point that there are limitations about who you can be and what you can do once you hit 40,” he said. “I’m sorry if the haters have decided that gays over 40 are supposed to put on the board shorts, move to the suburbs and settle down to bridge parties once per week. I don’t plan to ever go quietly into the night.”
