My Take
What strikes me about Buck Adams is the sheer range packed into one life: boxer, bouncer, then actor, director, and writer in the adult industry. That is not a passive performer riding on looks; that is someone who wanted to understand and control every part of the craft. The string of XRCO awards and his Hall of Fame induction tell me his peers took him seriously, which matters more to me than fame. Losing him in 2008 at only 52 feels early. I tend to respect performers who cross to the other side of the camera, and Adams clearly did, on his own terms.
