TV Anchor Leaves TV News for a Life in Porn
/
Forget the Emmy or the Murrow, this former Anchor won and award for “Best Sex Scene,” in a Gay Porn video.
For 23 years, Jim Walker worked in TV news. As a journalist, Walker covered major stories including the Space Shuttle disaster over Texas, Hurricane Katrina, and the Columbine School shootings. He worked for CBS affiliate KTVT in Dallas, where he earned his Emmy nominations, as well as KBTV Fox 4 in Beaumont.
“I left the business in 2013 after my boss in Southwest Florida told me that research had shown ’people here just don’t like you,’” he told TitanMen.
After pandering for ratings and approval from viewers, Walker was exhausted and needed a change. “TV news as we know it is dying, and the old school model is trying to divide a financial pie that has shrunk by 75 percent in just 15 years.”
He continued, “Add to that, the immense pressure of daily ratings where your job is virtually on the line every single day.” After devoting his life to establishing his career, Walker wasn’t willing to take a pay cut or settle for a demotion.
So, in November 2015, he selected the name “Dallas Steele” and signed an exclusive deal with Titan Men, and a career in porn.
With 22 movies under his belt and multiple award nominations (Cybersocket for “Best Sex Scene,” along with Dirk Caber in the TitanMen release “Blue Collar Ballers”), it’s safe to say Dallas Steele is a porn star.
And, although he misses parts of TV news, there is a lot he doesn't miss. “What I don’t miss is the schizophrenic management at every station that can’t decide from day to day what they want, and as a result are constantly blaming the talent and trying to make the talent be something they aren’t.”
Walker said, “If they left the talent the fuck alone to be who we are, viewers would be a lot happier. Most anchors are so beaten down, even they don’t have a clue anymore about who they really are.”
