Chuck Vincent (born Charles Vincent Dingley, September 6, 1940 - September 23, 1991)[1] was an American pornographic film and B movie producer, screenwriter, editor and director.

Career

Vincent began his career in the 1960s in regional theater and Off-Broadway, doing work in a variety of behind-the-scenes jobs and positions for 12 years,[2] including at theater companies such as the Negro Ensemble Company, where he was a set designer,[3] and he also spent 5 years as a stage manager at the Tappan Zee Playhouse.[2][4]

In 1970 he made his first short film, which he called The Appointment.[5] He then moved on to doing feature-length softcore and hardcore pornography films. He was noted as one of the more sophisticated film makers in the industry.[6] His most highly regarded work was his 1981 film Roommates, which received wide acclaim both in the porn industry and the mainstream press.[7]

In the middle 1980s, Vincent moved away from hardcore to B movies. At one point he had a partnership with the Playboy Channel, where he produced content for their network. Preppies was the first film of the partnership.[8][9]

Openly gay,[10] Vincent died of AIDS complications on September 23, 1991.[11] He was 51 years of age when he died, and he was living in Key West, Florida at the time of his death.
