Dave Ruby(I)

The handsome and muscular Dave Ruby was born David Rubenstein in 1945 in the Bronx in New York City. Of Jewish descent, his father was from Poland while his mother's family came from Russia. When Dave was six years old he moved with his family to Queens, where he was brought up in Kew Garden Hills. Ruby was a jock in high school who played football and baseball as well as ran track. Dave tried out for the major baseball team the New York Mets three times. Following graduation from high school Ruby joined the National Guard in order to avoid the Vietnam draft, worked a series of part time jobs, and made several abortive attempts to become a police officer. Dave attended New York City Community College for a single term and briefly worked in hotel management before deciding on a career as a court reporter.

Ruby became involved in the swinging scene in the early 1970's. During this time Dave was hired by the swinger's club The Midnight Interlude to front their cable TV advertisements. Ruby did his first hardcore movie in the mid-1970's after responding to an ad placed by noted East Coast adult filmmaker Leonard Kirtman. Dave subsequently signed up with Dorothy Palmer's casting agency and went on to appear in a slew of hardcore loops and explicit adult features for such top directors as Lasse Braun, Chuck Vincent, Carter Stevens, Fred J. Lincoln, Phil Prince, Joe Davian, and Shaun Costello. Moreover, Ruby also worked as a male escort, did some nude modeling for Gay Scene magazine, and performed in a live S&M sex show at Club O in the early 1980's. After quitting porn in the late 1980's Dave got married in 1994 and retired from his regular day job as a court reporter with a full pension in 2002. The father of two sons and a stepdaughter that he helped raise, Ruby enjoys ballroom dancing and traveling all over the world.
