Lexington Steele

With over 10 years and over 500 titles, literally, under his belt, Lexington Steele remains at the top of the food chain in the adult industry.

Steele is one of the most recognizable males in the industry and one of the few men whose fame usually eclipses that of the females he works with. He’s been awarded with countless awards around the world for his work with some of the most elite and desirable women in the world. As proof of his dominance as a performer, Steele’s won Adult Video News’ coveted Best Male Performer of the Year a record-breaking three times in addition to being an AVN Hall of Famer.

Since his start in the business, Steele looked to advance himself. While other performers would sit on their laurels, Steele learned how to shoot and direct gonzo, or all-sex, titles, sometimes taking over the very lines he originally had been hired on, as a performer. Like his prior endeavor, Steele once again found success as a director. His first attempts at directing caught… More

Don Picone

Based out of the tropical country of Brazil, Don Picone is a fan of all things exotic.

This extends to the movies he directs, which includes Mercenary Pictures’ only tranny line (produced by its subsidiary Black Viking Pictures), “You’d Never Know.” The three volumes of “You’d Never Know” met with acclaim from the critics and notoriety from the fans for the series’ selection of the most feminine transsexuals from Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

A 10 year veteran of the adult industry, with six of them behind the camera as a director and producer, Picone also shoots the all-anal “Butt Blasted Brazilian Babes” for Mercenary Pictures.

Picone also operates one of the largest Portuguese-language video on demand websites for the Brazilian market, sexforyou.com. All of the movies from Mercenary Pictures and Black Viking Pictures are available on the site, and is one of the few sites designed by a Brazilian for Brazilians.

Jimmy Scaffnetti

Construction worker, bartender and X-rated auteur - Mercenary Pictures director Jimmy Scaffnetti is a man of many talents.

Originally from British Columbia, Scaffnetti joined Mercenary Pictures in 2006 and directs “Nasty Universe,” “Climaxxx TV,” and “White Man’s Revenge.” His porn pedigree comes from his previous and solid work with accomplished male performer Erik Everhard and Mike John, widely considered to be one of the founders of the gonzo movement.

“Erik was having some issues getting what he wanted,” Scaffnetti said. “He had a distinct way he wanted his stuff shot, and I guess that it wasn’t being done the way he wanted. He called me - we were friends - and asked me if he thought I could do it. He knew I had an incredible work ethic and I think he knew I had a background in sports and automotive photography so he knew I could frame something and that I could be trained to do this.”

He quickly gained a reputation as a go-to director for all-sex projects and quickly met with critical… More

Macro Banderas

Star of over 2,000 scenes, adult male star Marco Banderas is one of the most sought-after performers working in the adult business.

Bringing the discipline and the sense of timing he learned from working in Spain’s live sex theaters, Banderas - a member of Mercenary Pictures’ directorial team since 2006 - helms “The Darkside of Marco Banderas” and “Culos Gigantes.”

“I’m very happy to be working with Mercenary and Lex,” Banderas said. “I think Mercenary is the best company for me to work with, because they do real porn. This is a great opportunity and I’m very happy.”

Banderas, one of the hardest working men in the adult industry, impressed Mercenary Pictures’ owner Lexington Steele with his work ethic. Steele was one of the first producers to recognize Banderas’ talent and brought him on board to Mercenary Pictures soon after viewing a sample.

Banderas also owns his own production company, Hot Zone Video, and is an accomplished singer. He’s put pen to paper, using his success in the adult industry as inspiration for “Porn… More
