    Bobby Vitale, (June 30, 1965 - August 29, 2017)[1] also known as "Jerry Forde", was an American pornographic actor of Mexican/ Irish descent. He entered the adult film industry in 1995 and had performed in over 418 titles. His filmography included films directed by John Leslie.[2] Vitale has directed two adult films.

    Personal life

    Vitale was married to fellow porn actor Nikki Tyler from 1996 to 1998.[3] He appeared in scenes with her.[4] They subsequently got divorced, and Vitale later became engaged to Briana Banks in 2003, before they split up in 2006.[5]

    Vitale was the victim of a car accident in 2004 that left him with a smashed pelvis, crushed urethra and having to use a wheelchair and a colostomy bag temporarily.[6]

    Having retired in the mid 2000s, Vitale ran a body shop in Southern California for several years.[7] He claimed to be ready to make a comeback to the porn industry in 2011, but nothing ever came of this.[8]

    He died on August 29, 2017 in Los Angeles, California, aged 52.[9]
