(Los Angeles, CA / February 28, 2023) — Veteran adult film director Ivan got cozy on the couch this week for Living Room Vibz, a fresh new interview series from the Urban Soul TV network.
The industry Hall of Famer sat down for an informal chat with hosts Mr. Marcus and Sharee Stiltz English to reminisce about the skin biz – Marcus joined the industry in 1994, Ivan in 2002 – as well as discuss his latest onscreen projects and recent creative foray into professional wrestling.
“I loved sharing stories and opinions on the couch; just made it so much easier to just open up and have a real conversation,” said Ivan of the relaxed interview space. “These two people have supported me for my entire career, and it’s my pleasure to do their show.”
English echoed Ivan’s enthusiasm, saying, “On behalf of Mr. Marcus and myself, Ivan’s interview was exciting, and we had a blast walking down memory lane. We look forward to having more diverse conversations.”

We hustle and bustle and just run with no breaks, but we need those breaks… they are crucial.” Visit IamIvan.com or follow on Twitter
