Life

Barresi was best known for his work in the porn industry, as a model for Playgirl magazine, and for his involvement in some sex scandals in the 1980s and 1990s. Despite these difficulties, he was able to continue his career unhindered and has since played roles in several major feature films and television series.

Looking at Barresi's life and work often focused on his contradictions. A married man who had great success in gay pornography, he criticized the porn industry for its lack of ethical values, but also confessed in interviews to his participation in it. In the 1990s, he sold a story to the National Enquirer in which he told of his alleged two-year love affair with John Travolta, and worked for a while for private detective Anthony Pellicano, who worked for Celebrity magazine . Barresi began working as a detective there in 1993 in connection with allegations of child sexual abuse against Michael Jackson of the then 13-year-old Jordy Chandler. Other cases he was entrusted with included Arnold Schwarzenegger , Sylvester Stallone , Tom Cruise , Eddie Murphy and Paris Hilton .
