Herschel Savage

I try to approach Savage without the easy judgments people bring to his field. Born Harvey Cohen in New York, he worked in over a thousand adult films and lasted decades, earning AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame honors and a spot on a top-fifty all-time list. Longevity like that, in any line of work, takes discipline. His sidelines in comedy and mainstream acting hint at someone who actually cared about performance, not just exposure. He died in 2023 having committed half a century to a path most people won't talk about. Whatever you think of the genre, that kind of persistence earns a measure of quiet respect from me.
