A Romanian native, Ion truly enjoys sex and derived great pleasure from performing and testing his inhibitions onscreen in a variety of situations. “It was truly a pleasure to watch him work,” recalls George Duroy. “He was naturally charismatic and the viewer was drawn to him.” When we first met Ion, he was a first-class inline skater. He wore his long hair in a ponytail for his first episodes, but cut it short when we had to reshoot the inline skating scene for “Frisky Summer.” By the spring of 1995, he had acquired his well-known tattoos, which expanded several years later to include a scorpion and a spider web. One of his lesser-known talents is an ability to learn languages at lightning [more] speed. So far his portfolio of languages includes fluent English and Italian, as well as some Czech and Slovak. Ion also shot several hardcore films for other companies, and today he is the proud owner of a tattoo shop in Western Europe.
