Place of Birth: California, USA
Porn Debut: 1974
Mike Ranger started his career in the adult industry in 1974 by modelling in straight and gay magazines. He soon moved on to loops and low-budget porn movies, but it wasn't until 1979 that he made a name for himself by appearing in quality films such as Heavenly Desire, Hot Rackets and Taxi Girls. The high point of his career was in 1980, when he starred in Taboo as Kay Parker's son.
According to Kay, "Mike and I probably had about two conversations prior to the movie. I defintely felt an attraction to him and I think that really addded to the role. I didn't really get a chance to know him, but he was gentile. He was kindly."
Seka also really enjoyed working with him and they appeared together in numerous loops and and even the odd movie. Years later she remembered shooting a scene with him:
"I was doing a scene with Mike Ranger, and we were getting ready to do the money shot, and so we gave them the shot, and the director said, 'Cut!' And I said, 'Cut, my ass! I'm not finished yet.' I looked up at Mike, and said, 'Keep going!' We made the director and crew leave the room and we stayed in there for maybe three hours. We weren't screwing the whole time, but we were enjoying it and we had a couple of cigarettes and we talked, and Mike said, 'Well, do you think we should let them know that we finished?' And, I said, 'No, that's cool. Let's take a break.' We locked the doors and wouldn't let them in. It was hot. We enjoyed being around each other and talking, and the crew was knocking on the door, but we just told them we would be with them when we finished. Neither of us were acting like big stars or anything. And after the money shot, they didn't care if the girl was finished, but I was just wasn't done that day. I was not done."
In 1980 he met adult film star and future wife Loni Sanders on the set of a soft-core picture. They married in 1981 and over the next couple of years often appeared together in movies. After their divorce in 1983, though, he stepped back from porn and eventually quit the business.
