Biography: Tom Byron is one of the biggest names in porn, with nearly 40 years in the business. Starting at age 20 back in 1982, young, fresh-faced Tom quickly became a well-known name in the porn industry, starring in many 80s classics, and was an early boyfriend of Traci Lords. After nearly 20 years in front of the camera, Tom began directing, and while he still makes regular appearances, directing and producing has been his primary role in the 21st century.
