This is how Peter North got into the industry

Quote:

A millionaire, he lives in Orange County, an hour's drive away from Porn Valley.

Thousands of dollars in debt, he entered porn to make money. Because they pay more, he did about two dozen gay videos. Using the name Matt Ramsey, he appeared in such gay adult films as "Backstrokes", "Below the Belt", The Bigger the Better (1984), Blow Bi Blow (1990) (V), "Boys of West Hollywood", "The Company We Keep", Cousins (1983), Euromen (1982), Getting It (1985), "Hot Off The Press", "Interview", Like a Horse (1984), "Master of Discipline", A Matter of Size (1983), "More Mind Games", "Sizing Up", Switch Hitters: Part III (1988) (V), Two Handfuls (1988) and "Young Gladiators".

He has stated on his personal website, as well as in various video product lines that he owns, that (as of 2007) he makes approximately $100,000 a month.

Owns two condos in Maui, Hawaii (2007).

Personal Quotes

[on his beginning in gay porn] It was not a part of my sexuality at all. I was only able to do it because of my strong mind and my physical ability to have control over my own body.

Your body might be on the set, but your mind is elsewhere. When I'm with a woman who doesn't excite me, I try to use my imagination. Sex is not just physical, it's also mental.

I don't think the industry ever was my destiny. People meet me and say, "You don't seem like a porn star". I think they had that stereotyped image of porn actors being ugly and slimy and perverted.

I just did the movies and never thought about the recognition that came with them.
