Kevin James Gibson, professionally known as Kevin James (November 17, 1954 – January 24, 1990), was an American pornographic actor who starred in over 300 gay adult films during the 1970s and 1980s. Born in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, he graduated from Tremper High School in 1973, having been named to the honor roll as a junior in 1972. After high school, he worked grueling shifts in a Detroit-area auto plant, requiring two showers to remove toxic silver chromium dye. Yearning for more, he moved to Los Angeles, California, launching his prolific porn career under the stage name Kevin James.
Renowned for his rugged looks, charisma, and versatility, he became a staple in the industry. Diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1987, he retired; later films used archival clips. He passed away at age 35 in Los Angeles County, leaving a lasting legacy in vintage adult entertainment.
