Kris Slater Reportedly Passes Away at 39

LOS ANGELES — Adult performer Kris Slater passed away on Monday at 39, according to industry friends.

Slater, who retired five years ago, was a popular performer and leading man in the adult industry for over a decade, with titles spanning 2002-2016 and almost 900 scene credits on IAFD.

With his heartthrob-handsome model looks, Slater starred in noted adult superproduction “Pirates” (Digital Playground, 2005). He also performed for several top studios of the time including Elegant Angel, Evil Angel, Digital Playground, Hustler, Wicked, New Sensations, Naughty America, Pink Visual, Penthouse and many others.

According to industry bios, Slater grew up in Oregon and Arizona, served in the military and moved to Los Angeles to start performing after surviving a helicopter accident being honorably discharged.

He developed a reputation as “a solid swordsman, a great actor and a real sweetheart of a person,” according an industry source who worked often with him.

“He was one of the go-tos during his time in the industry — unassuming and a great performer,” the source added.

After retiring, Slater had devoted significant time to one of his great passions, photography.

Industry Reactions

Fellow performer and Slater's friend Jack Lawrence tweeted this afternoon about the passing:

Director Will Ryder noted that Slater played the role of 'Greg Brady' in all but the debut release of the successful franchise "Not the Bradys XXX."

"Kris had a wonderful sense of humor, was a really good, handsome actor and was a fantastic woodsman," Ryder commented. "We had him in many of our movies over the years and this is sad for his friends and family."
