Asian-American UC Berkeley Law Student Moonlighting As Porn Star

BERKELEY (CBS SF) -- A UC Berkeley law student says he is passionate about representing his Asian roots in his career, but until he graduates that career is pornography.

Identified only by his stage name, Jeremy Long is living a double life of sorts as he puts himself through school working as a porn star to achieve his dreams of becoming a public defender, he told KPIX 5's Joe Vazquez.

But Long is only in his second year of law school, and to support himself he has been working in the adult industry, a line of work in which he says Asians are underrepresented.

"I'm very passionate about representing Asian males in media, and I think adult films is one of the most important areas for us to work on," Long said.

Long says he has made 18 movies so far, and has fans all around the world.

As for Long's family finding out about his current line of work, Long says he doesn't expect that to happen anytime soon.

"Luckily they're outside any circles of exposure that would lead to that."
