Early life
Wolf Hudson was born on November 24, 1984, in New York, New York, and is a Mulatto of French, Afro-Latin American/Dominican descent. Hudson briefly lived in the Dominican Republic in his early teens, but grew up in the Bronx for most of his youth. Hudson started as a Pop and lock dancer, joining a Hip-Hop dance group in High School. During that time he mastered the dance styles of Michael Jackson. At age 18, he began studying Method Acting and Jazz dance at the New Dance Group Arts Center in New York. Hudson performed in several theater, dance and independent film productions.
Pornography career (2006-2009)
Hudson started his porn career in late 2006 at age 21 in New York. Michael Lucas gave Hudson his first role in a pornographic film in Lucas Entertainment's Michael Lucas' Auditions Vol. 22. He later moved to San Francisco in early 2007 to focus in adult industry full time and worked for porn studio Factory Videos. Hudson had an early desire to work with director Chi Chi LaRue, and began attempting to contact her. After receiving personal pictures from him, LaRue contacted Hudson, expressing a desire to work with him. Their first film together was Suck It Up.[1]
In 2007, Hudson took part in Falcon Entertainment's relaunching of Jocks Studios, after the studios two-year hiatus, with Road Trip Vol.1 - Russian River to coincide with the 35th anniversary of Falcon.[2] Hudson gained popularity as a dancer, earning the title "Porn Dancer" among gay porn viewers.[3] He gained further notoriety for dancing naked to Michael Jackson in the movie Mug Shots, which became a hit in gay porn blogs in 2008.[4] Hudson was cast in the worlds first gay porn sitcom "Dirty Tricks", which later made it available on DVD.[5] The comic-erotic series earned a brief moment of pop culture infamy in early 2008 when performer James “Crazy James" Zinkland was cast on the reality series Big Brother 9.[6]
In February 2008, Hudson made the sudden announcement that he was leaving gay porn and entering into straight adult films. He changed his stage name to "Kane Rivers", in honor of porn legend and friend Sharon Kane. He signed with LA Direct Models after being referred by Lexi Love and had plans to move to Los Angeles. Though LA Direct represents former gay porn models like Christian, he was dropped after it was revealed that he had a gay porn past, for which he initially denied, but later admitted. He vowed he would to continue using "Wolf Hudson" as his stage name.
In August 2008, he co-starred in the GayVN Award-winning 2008 bisexual film Shifting Gears, directed by Chi Chi LaRue.[7] The film drew controversy when the term Straight-for-pay (a play on word for Gay-for-pay) was coined to reference performer Blake Riley's first encounter with a woman (Shy Love) and liking it. Riley received most of the criticism, including Hudson and LaRue.[8] He worked with porn starlet Kimberly Kane for Kink.com's Men In Pain, Kane’s first-time topping a man on-camera.[9] Hudson has been one of the most public faces of Kink.com's Bound Gods, performing and doing major events like the 2008 Folsom Street Fair, where he took part in live BDSM demonstrations with director Van Darkholme.[10][11] Unzipped Magazine named Hudson "One of porn's hottest new performers" in the October 2008 issue and receiving praise from Lucas himself, quoted as saying: "I think he has good looks and everything that it takes to be a porn star…Anyone who doesn’t invite him into their movie is missing out on a potential great scene".[12]
Hudson appeared in the third season of the Canadian TV show Webdreams, which followed Jet Set Men directors
Hudson turned down an offer to appear on a January 22, 2009 episode of The Tyra Banks Show concerning Gay-for-pay performers.[13] He expressed his reservations about going on there because of how the show could twist things around to make the guys look bad. In a January 20, 2009 interview with Unzipped Magazine, he stated that he will scale back on gay porn to pursue work in straight porn.[14] But one month later, Hudson surprised the industry by signing a one-year contract with Los Angeles based internet studio CockyBoys.com as an exclusive model.[15] His unusual exclusive contract applies solely to the gay side of the adult business, but allows him the flexibility to shoot straight-adult content as well, an industry first.[16][17] This is a controversial move since its hard for a gay performer to crossover into the straight market and Hudson plans on doing both at the same time.[18] He is the second major porn star to go web only, with Jesse Santana being the first for CockyBoys as well.[19]
Hudson and Chi Chi LaRue appeared in the first ever internet telecast; to announce the 2009 GayVN Award Nominations.[20] In March 2009, he became the first fan-selected co-host of the Grabby Awards, along side LaRue, Chicago drag queen Honey West, Blake Riley and Brent Corrigan, [21] Fans were allowed for the first time to choose their favorite porn star to co-host.
Hudson made his directorial debut in 2009, with online studio CockyBoys.com. Known for his creative, experimental approach to gay porn, with plans to expand his horizons by directing for the company.[22] The first scene he directed paired himself with Jesse Santana and gained rave reviews from critics. On July 2009, Hudson was one of the featured performers at Hustler Magazine's 35th Anniversary celebration in Santa Monica, California.
Following the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, in late 2009, Hudson made a short film dance tribute to the hit song Billie Jean.[23] Jackson was Hudson's greatest dance influence and was devastated by his untimely death.[24]
Pornography career (present)
Hudson is set to appear in the forthcoming Bruce LaBruce independent feature L.A. Zombie, starring François Sagat, due out in early 2010. He also makes an appearance in director Ed Powers' new book/documentary Porntography about the adult film industry, filming a sex scene with FTM porn star Buck Angel.[25] Angel mentions Hudson as one of his favorite male performers to work with.[26]
Personal life
Hudson identifies as heterosexual, even going as far as to call himself a "sexualist", instead of the term Gay-for-pay. He is quoted as saying, "I am not conventional. I am not fully straight because I do gay porn, but I'm not bi because I don't date men in my personal life. I define myself as a "Sexualist". I think Chi Chi LaRue came up with that term and it works for me".[27]
Hudson, a registered Democrat, originally supported Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential primary, but later endorsed President Barack Obama in the general election.[28] He openly supports many liberal views and promotes AIDS charities and gay rights. Hudson voiced his opposition to Proposition 8 and took part in San Francisco demonstrations. In 2009, Hudson took part in photographer Adam Bouska's NOH8 Campaign, an effort to empower the voice of the gay community in reaction to the passing of California's Proposition 8 against gay marriage.
Hudson acknowledges the importance of social networking in his career; he's active on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Youtube and various internet forums.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, California
