I figure I'll at least give the guy a couple of dicks up, for banging so many of the hot chicks we love so much. I like the Ass Cream Man section:
AVN Hall of Fame performer Jon Dough passed away on Sunday, Monique
Demoan, his wife of 12 years told AVN.com. Dough, whose real name was
Chet Anuszek, was 43.
"I've been with Chet for 12 years. We have a four-year-old daughter,"
Demoan said. "We lived together. I found Chet yesterday. ... He did
take his own life."
Demoan, who met Dough when she worked with him in Ed Powers' Dr.
Butts 3, continued, "Chet was a very warm, loving person.
"We fell deeply in love. He treated me very well. He put me on a
pedestal and gave me everything we need. I loved him being a big man,
and being held in his arms. He made me feel very comfortable, very
loved… He was everything to me. And I bear his only daughter."
Dough also had his own company, Jon Dough Productions, for his gonzo
product, in addition to his Doughboy Video line that were his oral
titles. Dough was known as one of the most reliable studs in adult,
and had the type of longevity that only a small amount of male
performers have enjoyed in the past two decades. His sense of humor
came through in series such as Anabolic's Ass Creampies, a line in
which the girls got a plate of whipped cream in the face after the
scene. During his most recent interview with AVN in the winter of
2005, Dough jokingly sang a few verses of a song about himself he
called the "Ass Cream Man."
Fellow AVN Hall of Famer Ron Jeremy remarked, "I met Jon Dough way
back. We went to Europe a couple times together, and when you travel
internationally with someone, you really get to know them.
"Jon was a great guy. He always had a good attitude, he was funny,
and he was a fantastic performer. He would always defend his friends.
"Being in my seventh year as a contracted male performer for Metro, I
understand that Jon paved the way for male contract performers, him
being the very first guy, when he signed with Vivid. He paved the way
for some of us, in that respect."
Adult performer Brian Surewood knew Dough for over a decade, even
before Surewood began performing. "He's always gave me phenomenal
advice," Surewood said. "I worked next to him in scenes hundreds of
times. We were good friends. I knew he was going through some
problems. I tried to help him out before with his problems."
Dough, who grew up Pennsylvania, is also survived by his father and
three sisters. Producer/director Mike John said Monday he knew Dough
for about 10 years. "He was just a really, really solid guy with a
big heart," John said. "We had a lot of common interests outside of
the business. We used to go up to Mammoth snowboarding quite a bit,
just regular stuff that people do."
John continued, "He had a lot of problems... He bounced around a lot
with deals. He was a strong-willed guy. It's very surprising to me
that he would go out like this. We all tried. He had a lot of people
around him but I think he just isolated himself lately. I hadn't
talked to him in two months."
John, one of the top gonzo shooters in adult, called Dough "a real
innovator."
"A lot of the things he did went on to get copied wildly. We were
just all sitting around talking, [Erik Everhard and Dan Silver] and a
bunch of us and we were saying he was one of the only guys to span
the generations. There's Tommy Byron, Marc Wallice, Ron Jeremy and
Jon was one of those second generation guys. And to the last day, he
was the only one who would get in the trenches with the new upstarts
and show them what was up.
"As a shooter, he was always full of good ideas. ... He was the real
deal. He lived it. In the end though, I think it just wore him down.
I've talked him back a million times."
John said that Dough had aspirations of mainstream acting before he
got into porn.
"He was doing some soap operas and he got an offer to do a Hustler
layout. He could do it, it worked, and he got more and more calls.
Before you knew it, he was in this," John recalled. "Chet was kind of
a wild guy. He was the first contract guy ever [for Vivid]. That was
something that had never been done before. Girls liked him and he was
into having a good time."
Dough, who began performing in 1985 and has appeared in several
classic adult films, has well over 1,000 titles to his credit as an
actor. He has directed over 70 titles, most recently for VCA
Excessive, Hustler, NJ Films and Anabolic.
Vince Vouyer, co-owner of Vouyer Media and a 15-year adult industry
veteran, knew Dough for the last 14.
"Me and Chet weren't hanging out having coffee, drinking beer
together-type- of friends, but we had a lot of respect for each other
throughout the years," Vouyer told AVN.com. "We've always been good
to each other. I've worked on a lot of projects with him over the
years, some with Vivid, and he was one of the good guys in the
business who I actually liked.
"Unfortunately, the past few years have been rough, and he's had some
dependency problems. I don't know what led up to this. I haven't been
in touch. I tried to put him in some scenes in the past four months.
He had been available and then he wasn't available. He's been calling
me and I've been trying to get him in some scenes, but I hadn't been
able to reach him."
Vouyer added, "He was definitely a good woodsman. I've never seen him
have bad days."
Producer/director Dan Silver, aka Dirty Dan, edited the last movie
Dough shot, Ass Cream Man POV, in May. But Silver had known Dough
since 1993, when Silver was a production manager for Vivid working
with directors such as Paul Thomas and Bud Lee who were shooting
Dough regularly. At one point Silver actually shot and edited the
promotional trailer that touted Dough's contract as a Vivid Man. It
was about 10 years later that Silver became Dough's editor.
"We spent a lot of time together in that editing bay and when you
spend that kind of time together, he became more than just a client,
he became a good friend," Silver said.
"... He had a great heart. He was one of the few people in this or
any business that I would trust looking after my kids. When he had
some hard times, I'd lend him money. Maybe that was a bad thing, but
I couldn't say no."
Silver said that when directing for Hustler that Dough was his first
phone call for male talent.
"He was the consummate performer and I needed a strong male talent
for the nasty gonzo stuff I was doing. There were very few people
better than Chet. He could do a three-on-one no problem and he was
always rock solid," Silver continued. "If I had to summarize Chet in
a couple words, I would say 'rock solid.' That's what's so
unbelievable about his death. Here was a man, a big-hearted guy, a
strong man physically. It's just so telling how insidious this drug
is that it would make him so weak mentally. Even though we weren't
shocked by this, I'm really kind of surprised by how deeply saddened
I am by his passing. My hopes and my prayers are with his wife
[Monique] and with his daughter.
