Early life

Holmes was born to Transylvanian Saxon parents in Sibiu, Romania.[3] In the summer of 1968, while on holiday in Bulgaria, Holmes and his family crossed the Turkish border.[3] Upon arrival at the Federal Republic of Germany in Istanbul, they sought political asylum.[3] Holmes eventually returned to Romania to visit family.[3]

After dropping out of school, Holmes began working in fashion.[4] He eventually became an assistant buyer for several clothing stores.[4] While attending a computer show in Munich, he decided to enter the tech industry.[4] On January 1, 1986, Holmes started working as a sales representative for an IT company.[4] He continued to work in the tech industry for several years.[5]

Career

Holmes spent most of 1996 attempting to break into the adult film industry with little success.[6] On November 22, 1996, he performed in his first pornographic scene in Dortmund, Germany.[6] The scene was part of an amateur series called Have a Wish.[6] Holmes wasn't compensated for the shoot.[3] 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.[4][7]

In 2001, Holmes won the NINFA Award for Best Supporting Actor at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival.[8] That same year, he met Manuel Ferrara on a shoot for Rocco Siffredi.[9] After hitting it off, the two went on to produce the film series Euro Girls Never Say No and The Pussy Is Not Enough.[9][10] In 2003, Holmes performed in over 280 scenes.[9] 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.[11][12]

In 2004, Holmes received the XRCO Award for Unsung Swordsman.[13] He also received the AVN Award for Male Foreign Performer of the Year for two consecutive years in 2005 and 2006.[14][15] In 2006, Holmes signed a directing deal with Mach 2 Entertainment to direct one film a month.[16] In late 2007, he performed in his first scene featuring bondage for Kink.com.[6] He developed the site Public Disgrace with fellow performer Princess Donna.[6]

Personal life

Prior to performing in porn, Holmes sought permission from his wife.[6] In 2017, the couple celebrated 26 years of marriage.[6] He is close friends with directors Greg Lansky and Mike Adriano.[17]

While shooting a scene for Public Disgrace in Barcelona, Holmes and Princess Donna were arrested by local authorities.[1] The two were released shortly after.[1]
