Tori Black, born Michelle Chapman on August 26, 1988, in Seattle, Washington, is an American former pornographic actress and director. She entered the adult film industry in 2007 and quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the most awarded performers in the business. She has won multiple AVN Awards, including Female Performer of the Year in 2010 and 2011, and was inducted into the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.
Over the course of her career, Tori Black earned over 30 industry awards. She was named AVN Female Performer of the Year twice (2010, 2011) and also received XBIZ Female Performer of the Year in 2011. She is recognized for her versatility, performing both in mainstream adult features and gonzo-style scenes. Her work with studios like Brazzers, Wicked Pictures, and Digital Playground cemented her status as a top-tier talent.
Yes. After stepping back from adult films in the mid-2010s, Tori Black pursued mainstream acting and modeling. She appeared in episodes of TV shows like The League and had roles in independent films. She has also worked as a brand ambassador for various companies and maintains a strong social media presence, focusing on lifestyle content and advocacy for sex workers’ rights.
Before entering the adult industry at age 19, Tori Black studied at a community college and worked as a stripper. She was inspired to start performing after meeting industry professionals while dancing. Her early work was primarily with the studio Naughty America. She has stated that she chose the stage name “Tori” because of its simplicity and “Black” as a nod to her dark hair and aesthetic.
While Tori Black officially retired from performing in adult films around 2017, she occasionally makes cameo appearances and remains involved in the industry as a director and producer. She has directed scenes for studios like Brazzers and continues to attend fan conventions. She now focuses on her family and entrepreneurial ventures outside the adult world.
One common misconception is that she is exclusively a “gonzo” performer; in reality, she worked across all genres, including narrative features and parody films. Another misconception is that she retired due to controversy—in fact, she stepped away by choice to start a family and explore other career paths. She has also been open about the challenges of leaving the industry and rebuilding a public identity.
