Tommy Gunn & Joel Van der Molen: Unloaded – Behind the Pages and the Camera

Hosted by Tommy Gunn, Actor-Producer, Author.

Step inside the world of adult entertainment with legendary performer Tommy Gunn as he shares insights from his new memoir, Tommy Gunn: Unloaded, and reflects on Fans Only: The Human Side of Porn, the award-winning documentary that reveals the realities behind the industry. He’ll be joined by co-author Jim Steele and acclaimed filmmaker Joel Van der Molen, who directed Fans Only and will be capturing footage for the next episode live at the Edison Show.

 

 

This exclusive session goes beyond the spotlight, tackling everything from breaking into the business and navigating consent to performer safety, testing protocols, substance use and recovery, professionalism on and off set, and the unspoken “Porno 101” basics. Expect raw stories, candid conversations, and open Q&A for a rare look at life both in front of and behind the camera.

Meet Tommy Gunn

Tommy Gunn is one of the most prolific and versatile male performers of his generation, with over 3,400 credits listed on the Internet Adult Film Database (IAFD). A multi–award-winning veteran with more than two decades in the industry, he is a proud inductee of the XRCO, AVN, and Urban X Halls of Fame.

 

Recognized for his rugged good looks and chiseled physique, Tommy has made his mark in both adult and mainstream productions. His mainstream appearances include a cameo on HBO’s Entourage (2010), a feature in Louis Theroux’s Twilight of the Porn Stars (2012), a role in the horror film Wolves (2014), an episode of Pawn Stars (2014) showcasing his zombie apocalypse vehicle, and the crime drama Gangster Land (2017). A true professional, Tommy is a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) member and embraces opportunities for dialogue- and performance-driven roles on both sides of the industry.

 

Tommy’s professional philosophy is simple: “Show up, be cordial, and treat your co-stars with kindness. Build rapport—people want to work with someone likable, not an egotistical person who thinks they’re above others.”

 

In 2025, Tommy unveiled two major projects: Fans Only: The Human Side of Porn, a documentary chronicling his life and career directed by Joel Van der Molen, and his candid memoir Tommy Gunn: Unloaded. Both works reflect his commitment to telling his story openly and authentically.
Outside of work, Tommy enjoys the outdoors, staying active through workouts, traveling, watching films, and continually striving to be the best version of himself. In a world where perception shapes opportunity, he believes authenticity and humility are the keys to lasting success.
