Adult Industry Superstar Tapped for Male Performer
of the Year & Mainstream Adult Media Favorite!
LOS ANGELES (March 9, 2015) – Adult superstar James Deen has been nominated for Male Performer of the Year and Mainstream Adult Media Favorite for the 2015 XRCO Awards.
The X-Rated Critics Organization will present the XRCO Awards in April in Los Angeles. The location and hosts are still to be announced.
“It is always an honor and super awesome to be nominated for awards,” said Deen. “I hope that even when I’m old and grey, I will at least be nominated for oldest and greyest. Thank you, XRCO!”
The adult industry icon and award-winning performer/director was nominated for Male Performer of the Year, which is presented to performers who have shown excellence over the past year. Deen last earned the award in 2009. He was also nominated for Mainstream Adult Media Favorite, an award presented to performers who have shown consistent mainstream media appeal. If Deen receives the award, it would mark the third consecutive year he is selected for the honor.
Altogether, the adult superstar has received five XRCO awards and 14 XRCO Award nominations.
It was 11 years ago that Deen began his career in the adult industry, ultimately establishing his own powerhouse production studio, James Deen Productions. He has since expanded into mainstream media thanks to his highly popular adult films, his many awards, and for his outspokenness and approachable demeanor. In the past, he has appeared in such outlets as ABC’s “Nightline,” GQ Magazine, Rolling Stone, E! Entertainment, Esquire, Playboy, TMZ, and many others.
James Deen Productions is a fast-growing adult studio with scores of AVN and XBIZ awards over the years. Most recently, he and his company earned four 2015 AVN Awards, including favorite Male Porn Star, from the fan awards segment of the AVN Awards, and Mainstream Star of the Year for the second straight year. Moreover, Deen earned four 2015 XBIZ Awards, including Male Performer of the Year. James Deen’s achievements have been recognized across all platforms, including producer, director, and performer for both shows.
James Deen Productions was created to provide a platform for Deen’s vision of respectful, safe, and fun entertainment. The studio is constantly evolving and expanding along with its participants. The motto it works to embody every day is “set the bar high, then jump over it.”
