Al Parker, real name Drew Okun, (June 25, 1952 - August 17, 1992) was a gay American pornographic actor (porn star), producer, and director. He was born in Natick, MA, and died in San Francisco, CA of AIDS.
Al Parker is usually considered to be one of the first gay porn actors to become widely known to gay audiences, if not the general public. He was one of the forerunners in establishing gay pornography as a viable commercial entity. He began his career with Colt Studios, another forerunner in the industry, where he was given the name "Al Parker", which he did not like. Colt Studios was one of the first publishers to provide full frontal male nudity of muscled, masculine men.
Surge Studios was Al Parker's own studio.
Al Parker was cremated and his ashes scattered to the sea at the celebrated nude section of San Gregorio Beach on Highway 1.
