Brent Corrigan was one of the most controversial gay porn stars of the mid 2000s after it was alleged that he was under age when he made his porno debut with the bareback studio Cobra in 2004. When it was revealed, his earliest films were pulled from the shelves. Depending on who you believe, he was born in either 1985 or 86. Either way, the revelation brought a long-running legal dispute between Cobra and Corrigan with Cobra also suggesting that Corrigan be banned from using his porn name because the studio owned the trademark. Corrigan says he was born in Idaho, raised in Seattle, Washington, and moved to San Diego in 2004 to live with his mother but was then left to fend for himself. Getting into porn, he quickly became one of Cobra's biggest twink stars thanks to his stunning looks and big cut cock - before the dispute over his age. His career wasn't harmed by the controversy - he went on to make The Velvet Mafia for Falcon in 2006 but took the name Fox Ryder. He then went on to work with Dink Flamingo's Dirty Bird Pictures. in 2010 he was named web performer of the year at the GayVN Awards.
