Dane Cross (born October 3, 1983) is an American porn star.
Early life
Cross was born in San Francisco, California and he is of German and Greek descent.[1] Growing up, his father was a "very right-wing" Republican, who worked as a police officer for thirty-three years, and his mother was a Democrat.[2] He is himself an Independent.[3] His parents were together for about twenty-five years before getting divorced when he was in his early teens, which made him feel depressed and miss school.[2] He then began to purposely skip school just to view internet porn and had to be held a year back.[2] He said doing so inadvertently trained to ejaculate on command and avoid ejaculating for long periods of time for his career.[2] He initially lived with his mother before moving in with his father, who enrolled him in a private Christian middle school.[2] Around 2000, he moved back in with his mother and on March 5, 2001, witnessed a shooting at his school.[2] He was in photography class at the time and claims to have taken pictures of the shooting as it happened due to his interest in news, journalism, and film.[2]
Although Cross had initially enrolled in the delayed entry referral program to be a military police officer for the Army, he received a health waiver for having a perforated tube in his eardrum.[2] He instead attended the Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura, California.[2] All throughout college, he would shoot news footage of incidents he was made aware of by listening to the police scanner, then sell it to television stations as a part-time job.[2] He also worked at a television station in San Diego for year before getting into porn.[2] He lost that job due to his lifestyle of partying and experimenting with drugs, such as ecstasy, at the time.[2] Shortly before getting into porn, he had severe panic disorder, for which he has been hospitalized.[3]
Career
Cross entered the porn industry in 2007.[4] He started out doing amateur porn with his girlfriend at the time after finding a Craigslist ad looking for couples.[2] In July 2009, he joined LA Direct Models after leaving his previous agency, A-List Talent, on good terms.[5] He made his directorial debut with Tosh Porn.Oh in 2011.[6]
Mainstream work
In early 2009, Cross directed his first music video for the band Anavan and shot the pilot of a travel series in Europe, which features him backpacking from one famous hostel to another.[7][8] Later that year, he directed his second music video, which features a softcore lesbian tryst between Faye Reagan and Georgia Jones, for the band Captain Ahab.[9] Also in 2009, he landed a role in the Showtime series LOOK from director Adam Rifkin.[5] He was also one of the production assistants on Rifkin's Showtime series Reality Show.[10]
Personal life
Cross is left-handed.[3] He was once in a relationship with Faye Reagan for three years.[2]
