from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rick Cassidy (born July 22, 1943 as Richard E. Ciezniak in Lackawanna County , Pennsylvania , † December 23, 2013 in Moscow , Pennsylvania) was an American model , bodybuilder and porn actor .

Life

Cassidy grew up in Pennsylvania. He started bodybuilding as a teenager . His first idol was Steve Reeves , whom he saw in the movie Hercules the Horror of the Huns . He served in the Navy for two years and then moved to New York City , where he worked as a model for photographer Jim French . He posed for him in leather and motorcyclist outfits. In 1969 he moved to Los Angeles , where he modeled for photographer Pat Rocco . There he posed for various magazines of homosexual readers under the name Cassidy, derived from Butch Cassidy . He also took part in The Advocate magazine's Groovy Guy Contest , where he came second in 1970 after Larry Schramm . This allowed him to take part in the first Gay Pride Parade as the second runner .

He made his film debut a year later in the documentary Mondo Rocco , which consists of a series of short films. The scene was originally only intended as a screen test . In the same year he created Inside AMG , a pseudo-documentation about the Athletic Model Guild photography studio . He first appeared in the same year in the porn film Drilled Deep , which also featured the upcoming porn star Ken Sprague , with whom Cassidy worked together in a number of other films in the years that followed during the porn chic era . The two were known in the gay community at the time as " Nelson Eddy " and " Jeanette MacDonald " of gay pornography.

In the first half of the 1970s, Cassidy worked on other films, mostly porn films for a heterosexual audience, and appeared in various plays. From the end of 1974 he switched to mostly different softcore pornographic films. In the 1980s, he was featured in porn films that featured porn stars like Marilyn Chambers and Ginger Lynn . When Cassidy made the film New Wave Hookers in 1985 , the minority of the porn actress Traci Lords resulted in a scandal and police investigations against those responsible. Cassidy then decided to quit his work as a porn actor and went back to Pennsylvania, where he worked as a real estate agent for the decades that followed.
