Michael Stefano (born Michael Vito Menta; August 29, 1969) is an American pornographic actor and director.[1] He appeared in over 1,000 films and, by his own estimate, performed in over 3,000 scenes.[2]

An injury forced Stefano to take a break from performing and in the interim he learned how to edit.[3] He began his directing career with Extreme Associates in the mid-1990s under the name Luciano.[4] In 2001, he started directing for Red Light District Video.[5] In 2003, Platinum X Pictures was launched by Stefano and Jewel De'Nyle (whom he would later marry), bankrolled by Red Light.[5] Platinum X featured directors Manuel Ferrara, Brandon Iron, and Steve Holmes, and produced very similar content to Red Light.[5] Around the same time, Red Light began distributing the films of Amateur District and Candy Shop, a studio headed by Stefano specializing in interracial content.[5]

In 2010, Stefano announced his retirement from pornography,[2] but in 2011 he announced his return to pornography full-time. In 2012, he again retired from the Adult Industry, but returned in 2013. He is still active in the industry as of 2025.
