Justin Heath Smith, professionally known as Austin Wolf, was born on April 3, 1981, in Alvarado, Texas, USA. Raised in a conservative environment with one younger sister, he came out as gay at 17, gaining his mother's eventual support. At 20, he relocated to New York City, working as a furniture retailer, bartender at a gay bar, and escort on Rentboy.com.
Wolf debuted in gay pornography in 2012 with Randy Blue, filming his first scene with Nicco Sky. He signed exclusive contracts with Falcon Studios in 2015, CockyBoys in 2019, and Men.com in 2023. An early adopter of OnlyFans in 2017, he built a massive following and won numerous awards, including Favorite Daddy at the Str8UpGayPorn Awards (2018), Most Popular Gay Performer at Pornhub Awards (2019), and multiple GayVN and Grabby honors for Best Top and Hottest Daddy.
He made TV cameos and Broadway appearances but faced controversies. In 2024, Wolf was arrested for child sexual exploitation, pleading guilty in 2025 to enticing a 15-year-old, receiving a 19-year prison sentence.
