Alec Knight (born June 13, 1973) is the stage name of an American animator, graphic designer, model, and pornographic actor.[3]

Career

In 1997, Knight started out working for Sony Pictures to create Ghostbuster cartoons.[4] For years, he worked as an animator and storyboard artist, doing work for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and the adult animated sitcom Family Guy.[4]

Due to the high risk of getting laid off in animation, Knight was urged by his then wife, Mika Tan, to begin performing in pornographic films.[4] Initially, Knight began acting in order to perform scenes with Tan. However, as traditional animation began to decline, Knight, who wasn't experienced in computer-generated imagery, began accepting more and more acting gigs.[4]

In 2006, Knight and Tan formed their own production company, GenerAsianxxx Productions, which was aimed at the Asian gonzo market.[5] Their first film under the company, Mika Tan's Asian Stud Search, was a response to the "shortage of Asian guys in porn".[5]

Personal life

Knight grew up in Missouri and considers himself to be a "Southern boy".[4] He describes his hometown as "a little Mayberrytype town with one streetlight."[4] Knight attended and graduated from art school in New Jersey, where he learned and developed skills in both traditional two-dimensional animation and computer design.[4]

Knight met model and pornographic actress Mika Tan at a fetish party.[6] The two were married on February 14, 2004.[5][1] The couple divorced on January 17, 2006.[1]
