Before Porn
Tommy Pistol always had a pentient for performance, beginning his career in sketch comedy and working as an actor for both short and feature films. Pistol also had a stint in the music business, as lead singer for the metal/hardcore group AmoreA.

Career
Tommy Pistol is close friends with fellow performer Joanna Angel, and a lot of his first scenes were filmed through her production company, Burning Angel Entertainment. He and Angel filmed their first scenes together. A decade into his career, Pistol continues to appear in Angel's productions, as well as films for most of the top studios like Adam & Eve, New Sensations, and Diabolic. Pistol is a Screen Actors' Guild card-holding member, and takes his scripted roles in the adult industry very seriously, as he wants to be remembered as the "best actor in porn." Fans of the star can often find him in humorous porn-parodies like The Walking Dead - A Hardcore Parody (which he helped direct); his sexual prowess is trumped only by his goofy charisma and acting skills.

An active APAC member, Pistol is an outspoken advocate for the adult industry, publicly opposing restrictive performance legislation like AB 1576. Pistol is a huge supporter of the "pay for your porn" movement as well.

Mainstream Crossover
Under the name Aramis Sartorio, Pistol has appeared in several independent films (Bethany, Jurassic City, Frankie In Blunderland). Pistol also wrote/directed the horror film, The Gruesome Death of Tommy Pistol (2010).

In mid-June 2018, Pistol gained mainstream news attention when President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, (accidentally or otherwise) liked one of Tommy Pistol's tweets disparaging her father. The tweet in question read, "I don't support Trump in anyway. Just to be clear."

Quirky Facts

From 2007-2013, Pistol was married to fellow adult star Gia Paloma. The couple never appeared onscreen together.

Among his varied skills and hobbies, Pistol is a trained and certified stunt-man.

Star Quotes
On men looking to get into the industry, "Girlfriend/bedroom sex is not porn. My advice is get in a room full of strangers, get a hard on and jerk off till completion. Now you might have a chance. Honestly, keep your day job and do it as a hobby."
