I work with some of the best casts and crews in adult, which wouldn’t have been possible without them. I’m also happy that AVN saw the brilliance of Tommy and Kenna’s performances in Under the Veil. Sweet Sweet Sally Mae was a pet project of mine, and I was lucky that Adult Time was behind me 100%. It was a fun movie to make, and Ana really killed it in her leading role. Thank you, AVN, for eight incredible wins for my casts, crews, and myself,” says Ricky Greenwood.
