Manuel Ferrara has become one of the most celebrated and well-known performers in the history of the adult industry. Ferrara was attending college to becoming a physical education teacher before he joined the adult industry. Manuel Ferrara started off as a protégée of the legendary Rocco Siffredi entering the adult industry in 1999. He made his American acting debut in the notable John Stagliano film The Fashionistas.

Manuel is known for his large member that has been described as being as "fat as a coke can." Ferrara is a favorite among many starlets due to his unique albeit-patented "hardcore gentleman" style, which features a mix of vigorous and romantic, passionate sex. Manuel's rise (pun intended) has garnered him copious amounts of awards and nominations. He is one of the more popular male stars in and out of the industry and is sought after and given high praise by many of his female costars.

Manuel has also maintained a successful XXX career behind the camera, starting work as an actor and director in 2003. He began work for Platinum X Pictures and later joined Red Light District Video. Ferrara began directing for Evil Angel in 2006, directing and performing in many popular series for the studio such as: Raw, Evil Anal, Slutty & Sluttier, and much more.

Manuel has an extensive list of top rated movies. He has won awards for performances in movies like Slave Dolls 2, Evil Anal 2, Kristina Rose Is Slutwoman, The Bombshells 3, Big Wet Asses! 13, Oil Overload 7, among others.

Manuel's production company, Manuel Ferrara Productions, has many top rated releases featuring Manuel as a director. Evil Anal, Phat Bottom Girls, and Raw (which has 20 installments) all have won multiple "Best Series" awards from AVN and XRCO.
