Most New School porn fans know Joey Silvera as the award-winning director of such stellar gonzo fare as his Please! line for Evil Angel. But before he started working behind the camera, Silvera, beginning way back in the pre-Golden Age, was an award-winning performer in front of the camera.
    The sheer number of his performing credits - close to 1,200 titles from 1974 until the present - qualify him for this list. He has worked with practically everyone - from Annette Haven to Jewel De'Nyle - has picked up his share of performing awards - including Best Supporting Actor - Film for Evil Angel's Face Dance Parts I & II in 1992 - and is a member of AVN's Hall of Fame. To this day, Silvera makes the occasional on-camera appearance, showing he is still a performer at heart.
