Leo FORD

Leo Ford, born Leo John Hilgeford in Dayton, Ohio, was a 1980s pornographic actor (porn star) who appeared in gay and bi-sexual pornographic movies and adult magazines. He was considered a twink, and was at one time romantically linked to porn star Jamie Wingo. He was most well-known for his pairings with Lance in Leo & Lance and Blonds Do It Best, both directed by William Higgins. In his starring role for the film Games (1983), directed by Steve Scott, Leo Ford played a medal-winning swimmer in the Gay Games competition alongside porn legend Al Parker, playing a photographer assigned to take professional portraits of the athlete. In a scene that would foreshadow what was to actually happen to Ford in real life, the character he played in Games had a severe motorcycle accident that left him hospitalized, and in a coma.
