Johnny Thrust(I)
- Actor
- Production Manager
- Additional Crew
Johnny Thrust grew up in porn valley just a few blocks away from the
office of the biggest agent in the industry at the time. While dating
the wrong girl at the wrong time he sort of fell into the porn industry
first as a caterer and occasional actor before turning to screen
writing then production manager for director Jim Powers. Contrary to
popular belief that he booked mostly himself, as production manager he
was allowed to book himself in scenes from time to time averaging 1
scene for every 6 productions. This made him both synonymous with Jim
Powers and unpopular with some male talent as they complained that he
always booked himself with the best looking girl. Although some
considered this underhanded it's common practice for production
managers and directors who also do scenes to book themselves with whom
they want. Always watching and learning from his mentor Jim Powers,
Johnny honed his skills as a cameraman, director and photographer while
maintaining the busiest production schedule in porn from 1997 - 2007
averaging 3 shoots a week with an average of 4 scenes per shoot.
Although the work load lightened up over the next 3 years he continued
to work almost exclusively with Jim Powers while producing for a few
other companies from time to time. In 2010 He stopped working for Jim
Powers all together and now directs and produces independently for
major internet production companies.
