Performer Brad Knight Passes Away at 36

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Performer Brad Knight has passed away following a battle with cancer, at the age of 36.

The Virginia native worked with many major studios over his decade-plus career, including Brazzers, Wicked Pictures, Evil Angel and Immoral Productions. He was a nominee for the XMA award for Best Male Newcomer in 2016, as well as several nominations for XMA Europa awards for his scene and clip work. He was recently nominated for the 2025 XMA Creator award for Group/Orgy Collab Clip of the Year.

Immoral studio honcho "Porno Dan" Leal, a friend and frequent collaborator of Knight, spoke to his character off-screen as well as on.

"He was much more than just the person you saw on camera," Leal said. "He was funny, intelligent and very kind. Brad and I shared a common love of football and became friends many years ago when we were members of the LA Galaxy supporters group, 'The Riot Squad.'

"Brad was proud of his XMA Europas award nominations and planned to return this year, but God had other plans," Leal added. "He fought cancer until the very end, going to the gym and laughing around others to try to mask the pain he was going through, but in the end, the cancer overcame him. Brad would have wanted people to remember the fun times and adventures they had with him."

Jul Models owner and Vixen Media Group director Julia Grandi was able to facilitate Knight's debut for the studio he'd always wanted to perform for.

"I had the pleasure of working with Brad early this year, not having the slightest idea how fate would change everything," she said. "It was Brad's dream to work for Vixen Media Group, and I'm very happy to have been able to make it happen for him."

She went on to praise his performance skills.

"He will forever be a part of, not just a random scene, but a huge international project in 'Hotel Vixen 3,' in which he is a lead in one of the episodes, as well as appearing in several others," she continued. "I only wish there was more time for him to be able to see how great of an actor he was in this project. He will be missed by many."
