Thom Barron (born March 27, 1971, in Germany), is the stage name of a gay pornographic film actor; he is considered to be Germany's best-known international gay pornographic film actor.

Biography and career

Barron attended the University of Karlsruhe, in Karlsruhe, Germany, and has worked as an electrical engineer in Berlin as well as in Zürich, Switzerland.

According to his profile at Cazzo Film, a pornographic studio for which he has worked extensively, Barron made his debut appearance in a gay pornography film in 1995, and the first film to be released in which he appeared was Cazzo's Pralle Lederhosen, in 1997. However, First Kiss, a film released in 2001 by WAT Productions, is billed as Barron's "first hot man-to-man action". During his career, he has appeared in films produced by many different studios, including Cazzo Film, Falcon Entertainment, Titan Media, Hot House Entertainment, Channel 1 Releasing, and Studio 2000.

In an interview with the adult gay magazine Inches from February 1999, Barron states that he "came out" when he was 19 years old. An admitted exhibitionist, he says it is "a turn-on to be observed". Thinking he wasn't muscular enough to appear in American porn, he wrote to French Art, a leading European gay porn production company formed by noted director Jean-Daniel Cadinot, but never received a reply. Therefore his first films were simple projects made for low-budget studios. "They were films with titles like Boys Boys Boys #16...which says quite a lot about the quality of the productions,” he is quoted as saying
