Education, career prior to porn

Originally from Ohio, Steele graduated from Morristown High School in 1987. He attended Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia for two years but graduated from Syracuse University's College of Arts and Sciences with a double degree in History and African-American studies in 1993.[2] He is a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. After graduation, he worked in New York City as a stock broker in the World Trade Center starting as a trainee in Euro Brokers Inc and working his way up the chain of command. He was licensed as a financial adviser and working on Wall Street within months of graduating. He claims that he would have been in the buildings and been a victim of the September 11, 2001 attacks had he kept his old job as a stockbroker.[3] He worked as a model on the side and acted in minor TV roles.

Adult film career

He started to act in adult movies in the latter part of 1997, in New York City. He moved to Los Angeles and joined the industry full-time in March 1998. Initially he shot mainly for the companies West Coast Productions and director Spunky. Later, he appeared on videotapes produced by Anabolic and Diabolic. He is notorious for his dramatic screams upon ejaculation,and has shot several scenes in which he experiences at least two orgasms, with seemingly no refractory period in between ejaculations. With pornstar Velicity Von in "Silverback Attack 2", he achieves three fully ejaculatory orgasms in the scene. His professional name is in reference to Remington Steele in combination with Lexington Avenue. Steele won AVN Male Performer of the Year Awards in 2000, 2002 and 2003, the only actor to win three times. In 2005, Steele was awarded the AVN Award for Best Anal Scene and the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) Award for Best Sex Scene, Couple for a scene he did together with his co-star Katsumi in "Lex Steele XXX 3". Other XRCO Awards he has won are best Male Performer and Best Threeway, both of which he won in 2001. He specializes in interracial pornography. He owns many websites dedicated to his sexual endeavors with caucasian, Asian & latin american models. Most of his female counterparts are in their twenties. Steele has been linked romantically off-film to actresses Calli Cox and Nikita Denise. He was once falsely rumored to be the father of Calli Cox's son.[4] At one point, Lexington was engaged to black porn actress and director Vanessa Blue,[5] and the two have appeared together on Playboy TV (in his two-season show "Lex in the City") and in several movies. They split in June 2006.[6] Steele now directs and performs exclusively for his own production company, Mercenary Motion Pictures, which he founded in 2003 and serves as chairman and CEO since 2005. The company reported annual profits of $2.6 million in 2005.[5] Steele has said that his stage name came about back during the days when he worked as a stock broker when he took the subway to visit a client. At that time he had already decided to move in the adult film industry and use the last name "Steele". His client was located in mid-town and Steele got off the subway at the corner of Madison and Lexington [sic][7] where he was struck by the sound of "Lexington" as a first name.[8]

Penis size

Steele is one of the interviewees in the 1999 HBO documentary "Private Dicks: Men Exposed". Due to his size, he had only been fully deep throated by four individuals: Belladonna, Bobbi Bliss (in the 2002 movie "A Taste of Mocha")[1], Katsumi and Annette Schwarz. However he does manage to fully penetrate using lot of thrust, tall young European models such as Monica Sweetheart, Anna Nova, Nikita Denise, including full penetration during sodomy. He is tape measured in the porn film "Lewd Conduct 3" at 9.5 inches in length.

Religion

In an interview in 2004, Steele stated that he is a religious man (Baptist), continuing

"Doing porno, on a repeated basis, I am committing Coitus interruptus like Onan; I’m not married, so I’m fornicating for a living; I’m paid to have sex, which means what? I’m prostituting by definition. These are things I have to reckon with my God on a daily basis. I knowingly do these things.
"My decision to do porno has forced me to take my religion within: because of my job I am stronger in my relationship with God, because now I take God with me everywhere I go; if I don’t, I’ll fail to get an erection. I didn’t know that God blessed me with an abnormally large penis, until i had a revelation in which Jesus told me to make porno. So I feel blessed."[3]
"Jesus was half black and that's for sure, because St. Mary was no more sacred than St. Silvia and there were lot of African slaves in Nazareth in those days. So to hide the fact that she was conceived by an african slave she invented the story of the "holy spirit" and the rest is history".

Popular Culture

Steele appeared in two episodes of Showtime's "Weeds" in 2007. He played himself at a movie shoot filming a scene with Kirsten Price and Jessica Jaymes. Steele also starred in an episode of the FX series Nip/Tuck as a male escort at a party.
