Jeremy has appeared in more mainstream films than the garden variety porn actor, although his small roles have often been cut by distributors who fear that his notoriety might damage a picture. What remains are generally jokey, self-referential cameos (such as his appearances in Orgazmo and Meet Wally Sparks), as well as his work as a consultant for 9 1/2 Weeks and the porn-themed Boogie Nights

Since the death of the legendary John Holmes in March 1988, the short, hairy, and pudgy Ron Jeremy has assumed the mantle as the number one US male porn starwith an industry record of staring in 2000 porno films .Ron has also appeared in several mainstream films including The Boondock Saints (1999), The Chase (1994), and 54 (1998), and served as a consultant for 9 1/2 Weeks (1986) and Boogie Nights (1997).

In the male porn business, size matters and looks are secondary (except in the gay porn business). Although there are conflicting rumors on the length of his credentials, all of his female porn costars were disappointed that Ron didn't get a lead in Rob Marshall's musical film Nine (2009). But it is exactly Ron's pudgy, hirsute looks (he is nicknamed 'The Hedgehog") that many claim have made him popular since he is closer to what the average male who buys porn looks like, and for them Ron Jeremy is the great white hope that they may get laid.

Rob studied theatre and education in college and taught special-ed classes while waiting for his big sho-biz break. He performed in off-Broadway plays and did stand-up comedy. In 1978, a girlfriend sent a photo of him to Playgirl magazine and he was chosen to appear as a centerfold.

When asked if the porn business was profitable, Ron explained: "The average guy gets $300 to $400 a scene, or $100 to $200 if he's new. A woman makes $100,000 to $250,000 at the end of the year. Girls can easily make 100K-250K per year, plus stuff on the side like strip shows and appearances. The average guy makes $40,000 a year." So it is apparently very difficult for most male porn stars to break through the ass ceiling.

There were several possibilities for recipes to celebrate Ron's birthday. Since he costarred in The Flying Pink Pig (2011) about a sausage-serving food truck that has secret aphrodisiac powers, we considered a sausage recipe. When we found out that Ron is also promoting his own rum label, the limited edition Ron de Jeremy Rum, we thought of a cocktail made with his highly-promoted rum. Then an Aussie friend suggested a popular Oz cookie called a hedgehog slice. But in the end, so to speak, we decided that for anyone who has reportedly made 2000 sex films, there is only one possible choice - a Death by Sex cocktail.
