Johnny Ford is the stage name of Joel Michael Anderson, an American performer, filmmaker, and advocate. A graduate of Arizona State University with a degree in Structural Engineering and later a Master's degree, Anderson transitioned from Phoenix go-go dancing into the adult industry. His studio filmography includes KinkMen, Missionary Boys, and The Last Course. Beyond performing, he directed and starred in the critically discussed short film DOXY (2023), a mockumentary exploring the realities of gay sex work that premiered online in February 2023. The film follows his character Johnny Ford through a single evening of hustling, go-go dancing, and confronting the dangers of unprotected sex work. A vocal advocate for sex worker rights and decriminalization, Anderson has spoken publicly about the oversaturation of OnlyFans, the economic realities facing adult performers, and the need for legal protections. His dual identity as both a method-acted porn persona and an educated filmmaker-activist makes him a uniquely multidimensional figure in contemporary gay adult entertainment.
