Early life

Holmes was born to Transylvanian Saxon parents in Sibiu, Romania. [4] In the summer of 1968, while on holiday in Bulgaria, Holmes and his family crossed the Turkish border. [4] Upon arrival at the German Embassy in Istanbul, they sought political asylum. [4] Holmes eventually returned to Romania to visit family. [4]

After dropping out of school, Holmes began working in fashion. [5] He eventually became an assistant buyer for several clothing stores. [5] While attending a computer show in Munich, he decided to enter the tech industry. [5] On 1 January 1986, Holmes started working as a sales representative for an IT company.

Holmes spent most of 1996 attempting to break into the adult film industry with little success. [7] Prior to performing in porn, Holmes sought permission from his wife. [7] On 22 November 1996, he performed in his first pornographic scene in Dortmund, Germany. [7] The scene was part of an amateur series called Have a Wish. [7] Holmes wasn't compensated for the shoot. [4] While giving an interview, he was instructed by a reporter to adopt the stage name "Steve Holmes" due to his similar appearance to that of actor John Holmes. [5] [8]

In 2001, Holmes won the NINFA Award for Best Supporting Actor at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival. [9] That same year, he met Manuel Ferrara on a shoot for Rocco Siffredi. [10] After hitting it off, the two went on to produce the film series Euro Girls Never Say No and The Pussy Is Not Enough. [10] [11] In 2003, Holmes performed in over 280 scenes. [10] That same year, Holmes became one of five charter directors for Platinum X Pictures; other notable directors included Jewel De'Nyle, Michael Stefano and Ferrara. [12] [13]

In 2004, Holmes received the XRCO Award for Unsung Swordsman. [14] He also received the AVN Award for Male Foreign Performer of the Year for two consecutive years in 2005 and 2006. [15] [16] In 2006, Holmes signed a directing deal with Mach 2 Entertainment to direct one film a month. [17] In late 2007, he performed in his first scene featuring bondage for Kink.com. [7] He developed the site Public Disgrace with fellow performer Princess Donna. [7] In May 2020, Holmes launched his own website, which features an archive of over 3,000 scenes he's performed in throughout his career. [18]
