RIP Austin Black

GayVN reports that veteran pornstar Austin Black was found dead in his apartment last week. Black's career spanned more than a decade and included appearances in films such as "Das Butt 1 & 2" and "The Pledges of Gamma Beta Mu", which also starred Atlanta-based performer and producer Ty Lattimore—who told us he knew Austin very well. "I worked with Austin on my very first movie," said Lattimore. "He was a really nice guy and a dynamic performer. I admired his versatility—he could do interacial, black, leather, rough sex, and, anything else. Not too many people have longevity in this industry ..." Now, alas, there's one less. -RM
