See: Wayne, p. 218. Atkol lists two films (Bi-Ballers and Studio X) which Wayne does not. A cast listing cannot be independently confirmed for Bi-Ballers by Adam Film World or Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD). However, although Adam Film World has no listing for Studio X, IAFD confirms the existence of the film and that Taylor is in the cast. See: Cole Taylor. Internet Adult Film Database. No date, accessed 2013-04-21. Ten films listed by Wayne (Best of Surge Vol. 2, Climactic Scenes #101, Fanta-size, Guys Who Eat Cum, Hot Shots Vol. 7: Daddies, In Too Deep, Lovers & Friends, Magnum Griffin Vol. 6, Muscle Studs, and Tight Friendship) are compilation films (existing scenes recut and repackaged) and not original productions. Of the remaining non-compilation films which Wayne lists, six films (All Hands on Dick, Hard Fucking Buddies, Lifeguard, Making It Huge, One Size Fits All, and Sighs) are not listed by Atkol. Adam Film World confirms that Cole Taylor is in the cast of One Size Fits All and Sighs. See: Adam Film World, 1992, p. 171, 175. The IAFD confirms Taylor is a cast member in All Hands on Dick and Making It Huge. See: Cole Taylor. Internet Adult Film Database. No date, accessed 2013-04-21. Both IAFD and Adam Film World confirm that Cole Taylor is in Lifeguard. See: Adam Film World, p. 158; Cole Taylor. Internet Adult Film Database. No date, accessed 2013-04-21.

However, Adam Film World and IAFD confirm he is part of the cast of this bisexual film. See: Adam Film World, 1991, p. 147; Cole Taylor. Internet Adult Film Database. No date, accessed 2013-04-21.
